In 1979 the government set a target of 150,000 vehicles to be converted to compressed natural gas (CNG) by the end of 1985. Just over 1600 conversion kits were sold during 1979 as the industry established itself. Growth in kit sales continued into early 1980, but sales slumped later in 1980. The survey was undertaken to determine the current status of the CNG program in Auckland and to see what measures might be required to enable the government target to be met. Information, mainly collected by a mail survey, was collected on: vehicle conversions and refuelling stations in the Auckland area; attitudes and opinions of people who had or were contemplating conversion to CNG or the construction of refuelling stations; impediments to the implementation of the CNG program and the attainment of the government's objective. Industry and market developments are described. An overview of the survey results is presented. (ERA citation 07:044021)
