Automotive Natural Gas Vehicle Market By Fuel Type (CNG, LNG), By by Vehicle Type (Passenger cars, Commercial vehicles): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
Natural gas vehicle is a type of alternative fuel vehicle which utilizes natural gas such as compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and absorbed natural gas (ANG) as a fuel to operate the vehicle. Natural gas vehicles work in similar manner as the gasoline powered engine does. A natural gas vehicle stores the natural gas in a fuel tank, or cylinder, typically at the back of the vehicle. The fuel system transfers the high-pressure gas from the fuel tank to combustion chamber with the aid of fuel lines. Then, inside combustion chamber, the fuel is mixed with air and then compressed, and ignited by a spark plug. Moreover, natural gas vehicles have high performance and low emissions.
At present, two types of CNG fuel systems are available in the market, namely dedicated vehicles, which operate exclusively on natural gas, and dual-fuel vehicles, which can use both natural gas and gasoline. Automotive manufacturers offer a variety of both dedicated and dual-fuel CNG vehicles, including compacts, trucks, vans, and buses. In addition, few developing countries have also started to adopt CNG as an alternative transport fuel to reduce reliance on gasoline, which fuels the growth of the CNG segment. For instance, in December 2020, in Nigeria, the Federal Government launched its National Gas Expansion Program, which focuses on distribution of CNG and liquefied petroleum gas across gas stations operated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). This program aims to gradually replace high Sulphur gasoline fuel with CNG fuel.
The growth of the global automotive natural gas vehicle market is propelling due to increase in fuel costs, government initiatives to develop & expand natural gas distribution infrastructure, and rise in environmental awareness. However, rise in demand for electric vehicle is the factor that hampers the growth of the market. Furthermore, growth in demand from emerging countries is the factor expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period.
The automotive natural gas vehicle market is segmented on the basis of fuel type, vehicle type, and region. By fuel type, it is bifurcated into CNG and LNG. By vehicle type, it is classified into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
