2.4.3.3 Natural Gas Consumption in the Transportation Sector from
1973 to 2012
Data published by the IEA in 2014 show that worldwide consumption of Natural Gas has increased
by 108.7% during the period 1973-2012, from 654 Mtoe in 1973 to 1,365 Mtoe in 2011.
This is partly due to the fact the NG has been used as a fuel substitute of oil in many industries
including the transportation sector, driven by both the stricter environment regulations for lower
CO2 emissions and the efforts of many governments to reduce their dependency on oil imports. As
a result, Natural Gas has increased its market share in 2012, accounting for 15.2% of worldwide
energy consumption by fuel.

July 1994 as the founding Executive Director of the European Natural Gas Vehicle Association.
Dr. Seisler was a founder of the International Association for Natural Gas Vehicles (IANGV)
starting in 1986 and has been on the Executive Committee since 1990. He was a two term
President of the IANGV (1998-2002) and today is the Vice President for Government Relations.
In December 2014, Visiongain spoke to Clean Fuels Consulting CEO, Dr. Jeffrey Seisler. We are
grateful for his contribution.
6.1.1 Clean Fuels Consulting on the Market Status of CNG Cars in 2015
Visiongain: How do you view the current market status of Compressed Natural Gas as a
transportation fuel, as we approach 2015?
Dr. Jeffrey Seisler: There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about the transportation market
development prospects for natural gas – compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas
(LNG) and bio-methane, the renewable part of the ‘methane portfolio.’ Each (global) regional
NGV market will grow in different ways because of different market forces and influences –
economic and geopolitical – but the focus on the methane portfolio will be positive and improving.
Worldwide there are over 150 manufacturers making more than 270 different types of light and
medium duty vehicles. These should continue to grow. There also are natural gas marine engines
available and this sector will see strong growth into the future.

7.2 Chang’an Automobile Group Company Overview
2013
Global Unit Sales 2.12 million, up 20.7% from 2012
Year of Establishment 1862
Headquarters Chongqing, People’s Republic of China
Ticker N/A – State Owned
IR Contact -
Website www.globalcangan.com
Changan Automobile Group, founded in 1862, is a pioneer of China's modern industry. It is
affiliated to China South Industries Group Corporation, among the leading companies of the
Chinese automotive industry. It has existing assets amounting to 68 billion Yuan, and nearly
50,000 employees.
Changan Automobile has six large bases in Chongqing, Beijing, Jiangsu, Hebei, Zhejiang
and Jiangxi and 15 vehicle and engine factories, making an annual capacity of 2 million vehicles
and 2 million engines. Over the years, Changan Automobile has been among the Top 500
industrial enterprises, Top 100 manufacturing companies and Top 20 listed companies in China,
and the Top 50 industrial enterprises in Chongqing Municipality.
7.2.1 Chang’an’s Role in the CNG Passenger Car Market
Chang’an’s contribution to the CNG Passenger Car market is through its Yuexiang (known
as Alsvin outside China) CNG model. Adopting the original CNG system imported from Germany,
the Yuexiang CNG can be fuelled by both the general gasoline and the natural gas with a
consumption loss of 3% to 5% only. The 80L gas container of the model enables a longer mileage
range.
The 1.6 litre CNG bi-fuel model has been available since 2010, and is fairly accessible pricewise
for the Chinese market, and facilitates fuel cost of around 3 dollars per 100 miles for bi-fuel
operation. Nonetheless, economic pressures in China since the car’s release have led to families
attempting dangerous and illegal alterations to their vehicles to allow them to run on natural gas. A
more in-depth profile of the car can be observed below:
