NATURAL GAS VEHICLES ARE a “good alternative” for Barbados, but the fuel’s availability and distribution limit expansion beyond the ten vehicles currently in use. This is according to Courtesy Garage Limited senior general manager Nicholas Mackie.
Courtesy was the first company in Barbados to introduce alternate energy vehicles using local compressed natural gas. Nissan natural gas vehicles were introduced in 2007 under a pilot project that includes several Government and private sector agencies. Mackie told BARBADOS BUSINESS AUTHORITY that “natural gas is the ideal fuel because it is locally produced and Barbados is self-sufficient”
