According to ISNA, Reza Kazemnejad underlined the importance of signing a contract for production of 45,000 dual-fuel cars, taxis and vans between NIORDC and Iran-Khodro, adding: "This was an important step in the production of dual-fuel cars in the 13th administration which took place for the first time.”

If the groundwork is laid, conclusion of such contracts will be a priority in the NIORDC plans to accelerate production and conversion of dual-fuel vehicles with the support of the company.

He added: "Currently, the share of CNG in the country's fuel mix is 21.2%, equivalent to 22.4 million cubic meters of CNG per day, which is set to increase to 30% by 2025.”
