Number of gas vehicles in traffic use

At the beginning of October, there were about 17,000 gas driven cars, about 1,200 vans, about 700 trucks and about 75 buses in circulation.

The increase in the number of gas vehicles has been particularly marked in the truck fleet, where compressed biomethane is used in distribution and collection transport under pressure and liquified biomethane in long-haul heavy-duty vehicle combinations.

The growth in the number of gas driven passenger cars and vas has slowed down in recent years as production of new gas driven passenger cars and light duty vehicles is coming to an end in the next few years. The change is driven by EU-wide carbon dioxide limit values regulation that binds passenger car and light-duty vehicle manufacturers and does not take into account the whole life cycle emissions of the fuel. The carbon dioxide emission reduction effect of biomethane use is therefore not reflected in the calculation.
