Ukravtogaz, a part of Naftogaz Group, has signed 9 agreements with leading transportation and logistics companies. They provide for the use of vehicles running on more environmentally friendly compressed natural gas (CNG) for transportation. This was reported by the press service of Naftogaz.
“The development of environmentally friendly transport is an important priority for Ukraine. Compressed natural gas is a fuel that not only provides significant cost savings for businesses but also significantly reduces the environmental impact. We are glad that more and more companies support this trend and join the changes,” said Roman Chumak, CEO of Naftogaz Group.
Advantages of CNG
The use of CNG reduces CO₂ emissions by 80% compared to diesel fuel, provides cost savings of up to 50%, and extends engine life by 30-40%. In addition, this type of fuel is a transitional solution to the use of biomethane and hydrogen, which meets European environmental standards.
“Ukravtogaz is a reliable partner that creates the infrastructure for the transition to cleaner fuels. We are creating a network of filling stations that will allow businesses and carriers to integrate CNG easily into their operations. Our goal is to make environmentally friendly fuel available to everyone who cares about efficiency and clean environment,” added Konstantin Dovgal, CEO of Ukravtogaz.
With whom has Ukravtogaz signed agreements?
The logistics company Milk Service, which is the main carrier of PepsiCo Ukraine, has already joined the Ukravtogaz partner network.
As part of the cooperation, an innovative project is being implemented to transport PepsiCo Ukraine products by CNG trucks. These trucks are already successfully operating in the Kyiv region and on the Kyiv- Mykolaiv route.
In addition, passenger carriers such as Pivden Trans LLC, owners of public transport such as Unis-Eco PE, and companies such as Ekor TZ LLC, FUNDINGGRIDENTS LLC, Marcus Ukrinvest LLC, and ROSSA LLC have joined the cooperation.
