Abstract

The article discusses the conversion of vehicles to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a sustainable and economical alternative compared to traditional fuels like gasoline and alcohol. It highlights the benefits of using CNG, including reduced fuel costs, vehicle autonomy, and ease of starting cold engines. Additionally, it mentions the importance of proper training for operators and mechanics, as well as the need for preventive maintenance of CNG systems. The text also addresses the challenges of installing and operating the necessary equipment, emphasizing safety in handling the gas. The analysis is complemented by tables comparing operating costs between different fuels, demonstrating the economic viability of CNG.
