- Taqa Arabia introduces natural gas-driven cars.
- The firm has delivered the first wave of five vehicles.
Egyptian company Taqa Arabia has announced the successful launch of its latest technology in the transportation sector. The firm has delivered the first wave of five vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) to the government of Equatorial Guinea. With this development, the authorities of this Central African country plan to meet the energy needs in several sectors, notably transport, at a time when natural gas is becoming important in the energy transition at the international level.
The vehicles were introduced following an agreement signed between the Equatorial Guinean Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons and the Egyptian company Taqa Arabia, one of Egypt’s most prominent private energy distribution companies.
The partnership, which was concluded in 2021 on the sidelines of the African Energy Week (AEW) organised in South Africa by the African Energy Chamber (AEC), aims to build CNG fuelling stations for vehicles across Equatorial Guinea by March 2022.
