World’s longest NGV rally powered by LNG takes off

The opening ceremony of the #gas into Motors NGV rally took place today in Rudong (Jiangsu province, China). The route of the #rally will traverse China, Kazakhstan, and #Russia

The race is sponsored by the three countries’ largest #Energy majors – CNPC, KazMunayGas, and #gazprom. The rally’s partners include Germany’s Uniper and the Silkway #rally Association for the Support and Development of Motor Sports, the organizer of the Silk Way international #rally.

The #gas into Motors race will primarily follow the route of the emerging international transit corridor entitled Europe – China. The #rally will pass through the cities of Suqian, Zhengzhou, Xian, Dingxi, Wuwei, Jiayuguan, Hami, Turfan, Usu, and Khorgas (China); Almaty, Taraz, Turkestan, Kyzylorda, Aralsk, and Aktobe (Kazakhstan); Orenburg, Almetyevsk, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Torzhok, and St. Petersburg (Russia). At 9,881 kilometers, #gas into Motors will become the world’s longest #rally for NGVs powered by LNG.

The #rally will feature a total of 15 trucks, cars and buses fueled mostly by LNG, as well as mobile NGV refuelers. Refueling services will be provided by the companies taking part in the project: KunLun #Energy Company Limited (part of CNPC) in China and #gazprom Gazomotornoye Toplivo in Kazakhstan and #Russia

The race will conclude on October 4 at the 8th St. Petersburg International #gas Forum in St. Petersburg.

The #gas into Motors #rally is meant to showcase natural #gas as a cost-effective, eco-friendly and safe vehicle fuel and to demonstrate the diversity, usability, excellent quality and dependability of gas-powered machinery. 

The event will serve as a barometer for the use of LNG-fueled NGVs within a transcontinental motor corridor, contributing to the development of natural #gas filing infrastructure along the Europe – China corridor and the harmonization of regulations on the use of refuelers and gas-powered machinery in the participating countries.
