Mexico: new public transport system in Morelos will run on CNG

Morelos will launch the first mass transportation system, called Morebús, which will operate with natural gas, a clear example of what the Authorities National Pact for Mobility seeks, which was recently signed in Mexico City. Among the objectives of the pact are consolidating an efficient, accessible and integrated collective transport; As well as to promote the use of clean energy, the management of new technologies for mobility and the development of infrastructure for the supply of fuels.

On behalf of Governor Graco Ramírez, Jorge Messeguer Guillén, head of the Ministry of Mobility and Transport (SMyT), recognized that mobility is a human right that has to do with sustainability, equity, social policy and development. So he said: “We are so honored to be part of this pact and build a mobility system available to all.”

Messeguer Guillén also said that in the state, for example, the opening of the Huexca thermoelectric plant in the municipality of Yecapixtla will allow transportation to be powered by natural gas, which will reduce carbon dioxide levels by almost 50% and particulate matter.

The sustainable mobility pact, signed by Morelos, Aguascalientes, Mexico City, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Colima, Durango, Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Los Cabos, Michoacán and Veracruz, also intends the federal government to provide permanent resources for modernization and renovation of public transport, as well as to promote the development and updating of the rules to make viable the modernization of the transport.
