Average global growth 30.6% for past five years
Asian industry growth averages 49% over past 5 years
Pakistan moves to second rank

Upgraded data facilities on the IANGV website now make historical and additional reference material available online for stakeholders looking for information on natural gas vehicles around the world. Replacing previous data which only showed current vehicle and refueling station numbers, new data shows historical natural gas vehicle growth (where available) back as far as 1991 and includes current rankings based on vehicle numbers as well as market penetration relative to total vehicle numbers.

Included also are growth charts on a global and regional basis. Data collated shows average industry growth, based on vehicle numbers, for the past five years reaching 30.6%, with Asia leading the field with an eye opening 49.7% average.

Latest updates show Pakistan has moved to second place in terms of vehicle numbers with the country how home to 1.55 million natural gas vehicles, ahead of long time second place holder Brazil on 1.425 million. Argentina remains the largest user of NGVs with last reported figures of 1.65 million.
Total reported figures now exceed 6.8 million natural gas vehicles worldwide, though with no reported data from several countries so far this year, this number is likely to be in excess of 7 million.
