Khodrocar_Experts believe that the end of Gas burners has
come and big companies are working on hybrid and electric cars but we
don’t have infrastructures of hybrids in Iran and producing gas burners
is still beneficial due to rich gas resources.
At
the time of Ali Akbar Mehrabian, dual burners were in attention and
biggest national project to produce CNG capsules began but after a while
the project stopped because infrastructures weren’t ready and the
project of turning half of cars to dual burners failed and till now the
situation of these cars didn’t get well. Ministry of Industry, Mine and
Trade is not working on this matter at the moment.
"According
to approval of economy council 140 thousand dual burners has to be
produced and according to section 12 of the law of eliminating barriers
to production the price difference optimize fuel consumption should be
paid to automakers. The dual-burning ceiling is 140,000 units and is set
to provide up to a maximum of 17,000 units for public transport and
heavy vehicles. If the government pay subsidy for automakers to produce
dual burners they naturally would be eager to produce more of these
cars.” Ardeshir Dadras, chairman of CNG association told khodrocar
reporter.
"Another
important thing is to produce CNG base cars and be self-sufficient in
producing platform and have the technology of these cars in Iran.” He
added.
"The
courage of government to produce cars has decreased. Among all light
vehicles 25 percent of them should be dual burners but automakers are
not following this law and the ministry of Industry has no supervision
on this matter.” He said.
Before all Hasan Karimi Sanjari told
Khodrocar
that Iran has a great potential in producing dual burners but these
cars have high engine depreciation, overhaul, as well as a lot of
maintenance and care, which is very important for the consumer. However
in the current situation people may want to have a dual burner according
to what will happen to gasoline and its price.
