State of Mexico will offer incentives to encourage adoption of NGVs

During the opening of the first CNG refueling station in Toluca, Governor Eruviel Ávila Villegas reported

that at the next meeting of the Environmental Commission of Megalopolis, the Government of Mexico

will propose tax incentives to facilitate the conversion of gasoline engines to natural gas, in order to

meet the challenges of climate change by reducing carbon emissions and promote the use of clean

energy in the Central Region of the country.

He also invited motorists of the entity to perform the conversion of engines to use natural gas, so they

can circulate every day, help reduce pollution and save money. “I make the invitation to all who are

drivers, so they can make this conversion, and generate awareness. Drivers will also get aid for CNG

conversions, to help them circulate in the Valley of Mexico, in the Valley of Toluca, without any doubt,”

he said.

Therefore, Ávila Villegas instructed the Ministry of Environment to facilitate the delivery of special

holograms, for a period of two years, so that taxis, which are the vehicles that initially will have this fuel

system, can circulate in the Valley Mexico every day, without restriction, and which will be handed at

the refueling station at the time that drivers refuel.

The CNG station opened required an investment of $100 million, has a capacity to supply 2,000 vehicles

per day. The governor stressed that this project was driven by the Civil Association for Carrier

Assistance, which promotes the conversion of vehicle fleet of its affiliates and to date has converted to

natural gas about 500 units.
