LPG and CNG

[Duarte Rosa Filho]

Greetings from Brazil.

The implications on the use of LPG are: less expensive operationg costs and
environmentally cleaner, as a fuel originated from petroleum. Perhaps, the
modifications needed to the existing bus engines will
cost too much.

There is a program of the government of Venezuela to forster
its use all over the country.

Here in Brazil, there are a lot of experiences with this kind of fuel, too.

May be you will find some further information in one of the following sites:
http://www.unb.br/ft/enc/sict/ - Transportation Information system of the
Brazilian Tranportation Research Association
http://www.antp.org.br/ - Brazilian Public Transportation Association
http://www.geipot.gov.br/ - Brazilian Transportation Planning Agency
http://www.fontur.gov.ve/ - Venezuelan Urban Transportation Foundation

Cheers,
Duarte
