Natural Gas Passenger Cars and Light Duty Pickup Trucks, SUVs, Vans, and Light Commercial Vehicles: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts
Interest in natural gas vehicles (NGVs) from both consumers and fleet managers is growing worldwide due to the current high cost of gasoline and diesel, and the recognition that continued reliance on petroleum based fuels poses increasing environmental and energy security challenges. Additionally, many parts of the world have substantial supplies of natural gas, making it an attractive choice for a transportation fuel. Because of the large number of light duty vehicles sold worldwide, governments, fleet managers, and private consumers are increasingly interested in using compressed natural gas (CNG) for the passenger car and light truck markets.The market for CNG cars and trucks varies significantly by region and country. In North America, the market is largely focused on fleet vehicles such as vans, pickup trucks, and cars used for couriers and taxis. In Europe, Italy is one of the largest markets with a variety of vehicles used by both consumers and fleets, while other countries with small numbers of NGVs are currently focused on building CNG refueling infrastructure to increase the appeal of NGVs for fleets and public usage. The Asia Pacific region remains the largest region due to Pakistan and the growing Chinese and Thai markets. The markets in Pakistan and Ukraine will see volatility due to shifting focus from imported CNG. Smaller markets where growth has been strong will likely start to see market saturation in the next several years followed by slowing market sales.This Pike Research report analyzes the global market opportunity for NGVs in the passenger car and light duty truck markets. The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the current market, fuel availability, demand drivers, policy factors, and technology issues associated with the growth of NGVs for the consumer and fleet markets. Key industry players are profiled in depth, and forecasts for worldwide NGV sales, vehicle segment sales, and cumulative refueling station availability are included through 2019.
