This is coming amid Malaysia’s plan to phase out CNG-powered vehicles by 2025.
According to the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Malaysia’s policy is focused on the safety of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), not CNG, and Nigeria actually chose CNG specifically for its safety and cost-effectiveness.
He added that plans are currently underway to develop domestic tank manufacturing capacity asap.
His words, “Some clarification on Malaysiaβs plan to phase out CNG-powered vehicles:
The Malaysian issue relates to the safety of LPG, NOT CNG. In the original report, Transport Minister Anthony Loke stated, βThere are also some car owners who have modified their vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders, which are very dangerous.β
NGV covers both CNG and LPG. Nigeria, in its transition, has adopted CNG ONLY, not both, due to valid safety and cost concerns regarding LPG.
Malaysiaβs programme for CNG-powered vehicles struggled, achieving only a 0.2% conversion rate over 15 years. By contrast, nations like India, China, Iran, and Egypt have seen considerable success.”
