LPG refuelling station for motor vehicles launched in city
An Auto-gas filling station was launched for motor vehicles in the downtown Motijheel with automatic billing system.
Auto gas is the common name for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) when it is used as a fuel in internal combustion engines in vehicles. State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul
Hamid formally inaugurated the operation of the new Auto gas filling station at a function at an existing Meghna petrol pump near WAPDA Building in Motijheel area. State-owned Meghna Petroleum and private BM Auto gas Company jointly set up the DS Business Point Auto gas filling station. Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) – run motor vehicles now can refill their containers with the Auto gas from the filing station.
With the DS Business Point, the number of Auto gas stations stood at 5 in the city as four others were already in operation at Tejgaon, Mohakhali, Uttara and Saidabad area. Per litre (each unit) of Auto gas will be sold at Tk 50 to the motor vehicles. But for using the LPG, motor vehicles have to be converted into LPG-enabled system.
Inaugurating the Auto gas station, Nasrul Hamid said the government has been promoting Auto gas for its use in the motor vehicles as this is an environment-friendly fuel, which is being used by different countries across the world.
