The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) recently conducted a CNG Awareness Workshop which brought together stakeholders from major vehicle manufacturers, petroleum & gas industry, retrofitment industry and concerned government bodies. The workshop was intended to bring the latest technologies and safety measures to the notice of the 150 technicians and authorities who attended the workshop. The workshop also addressed the loose ends in the retrofitment industry which needed to be addressed.
In the first session for the workshop, Vishnu Mathur, Director General, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) said that mobility has evolved over the past few decades and the introduction of CNG has played a major part in the same.
Guest of honour Bhure Lal, Chairman, Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority, said that the safety and security around the use of CNG as a vehicle fuel were the major challenges that need to be addressed. He said that the need for CNG as a fuel emerged at the fag-end of the last century when Delhi and NCR region were extremely polluted. He said that while vehicle pollution constituted only about 20% of the pollution, the situation has only worsened over the past couple of decades with a rapid increase in the vehicle density in the region. He urged the entire fraternity to be diligent with their work as they would chart the course of transportation system in the region and consequently in the country.
