According to the president of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Professionals of Natural Gas, Ángel Rodríguez, the city currently has only two vehicle natural gas service stations (GNV), but at least 17 are required to meet the demand. “Today we are around 1,500 vehicles turned to GNV in Huancayo, the only city in the region that already uses this fuel,” he said.
The leader said that the government enlists the signing of the last addendum for the massification of the service in 7 regions and 15 cities in the center and south of the country, including Junín. “Very soon, perhaps in November, the firm would be culminating so that the company Calidda starts the facilities in Huancayo and Jauja”held.
Natural gas not only represents considerable savings against LPG, but also environmental and mechanical advantages. “With a gas ball, between 40 and 60 soles is spent; with a natural gas installation in your home you will pay between 20 and 25 soles per month. The difference is abysmal”Rodríguez compared.
In addition, the Automax company manager, William Chest, stressed that this fuel retains the engine much more, since it has no additives or chemical components. The process of arrival of the domestic natural gas will require infrastructure works. Rodríguez explained that ditches should be opened on tracks and sidewalks to install pipes and meters.
Chest also assured that “With a good installation in an authorized workshop, the loss of power is minimal, just 1.29%”. The service costs around 2,400 soles and includes three years warranty or 100 thousand kilometers. As an example of performance, chest told the case of a customer whose vehicle exceeded 800 thousand kilometers “Without touching the engine” Thanks to the use of GNV and proper maintenance.
