This document summarizes the 2013 Blue Corridor-Hansa NGV Rally, an event organized by Gazprom to promote the use of natural gas as a vehicle fuel. The rally involved over 20,000 km of travel by natural gas vehicles from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea between October 2-18, 2013, making stops in 8 countries. At each stop, roundtable discussions were held to discuss developing natural gas vehicle infrastructure and markets. The document highlights the environmental and economic benefits of natural gas as a transportation fuel compared to diesel and petrol and shows photos from the rally.
