group business in the region is focused on this country, whose model in CNG subject should
be implemented in the EU. “The CNG market in Argentina is an example for Europe”, he said.

The business forum took place on Tuesday, 31st March in Four Seasons Hotel, Buenos Aires, and it was inaugurated by The Czech Republic president, Václav Klaus, in his official visit to Argentina with a delegation of important companies from his country.
Cidegas, a company oriented to the manufacture of high-pressure gas cylinders, was represented by its president, Alberto Batic, and Rubén Olazar, a member of the company which has an industrial plant in Olavarría, Buenos Aires. “In addition to the on board cylinders, we are also commercializing others specially designed for the public transportation and heavy vehicles. In our country they are still working as prototypes, whereas in Peru and Bolivia they are already being used. No doubt, the challenge is a short-term massive conversion plan for heavy transportation in our country”, states Batic in a conversation with NGV Journal, CNG worldwide online newspaper.
