OREANDA-NEWS.  January 30, 2012. Naberezhnye Chelny hosted the conference “CNG KAMAZ Vehicles” which was initiated by a distributor producing CNG vehicles of OJSC KAMAZ – OOO RariTEK.

The managers and specialists of Chelny’s enterprises and the representatives of OAO Zavod KDM from Smolensk participated in the event.

In the course of the conference the participants noted many positive advantages of vehicles running on gas fuel and discussed issues concerning their operation.

Natural gas is the most affordable and environmentally friendly motor fuel. Its use enables to greatly reduce the amount of toxic substances in exhaust gases – to the level of Euro 4 and 5 environmental standards.

It should be recalled that a year ago the municipality of Naberezhnye Chelny purchased a batch of municipal vehicles equipped with Euro 4 gas engines. These are 8 combined road sweeping tipping vehicles ED-405AG based on KAMAZ-65115-30 chassis running on natural gas. For 8 months of operation of such vehicles, the total economy (due to the difference in fuel costs) made more than 2 million roubles.
