Repsol introducing Learner Drivers to Lpg Autogas

 

Spanish energy company Repsol has signed an agreement with the National Confederation of Auto Schools (CNAE) to retrofit its fleet of vehicles for driver training programmes. Repsol and CNAE hope that the initiative will teach new drivers that there is a green alternative to petrol.

Repsol spokesman Iñigo Palacio said Repsol considers lpg powered vehicles to be a “more immediate” technology than electric propulsion since it is “easily implemented”. Repsol will pay for the conversion for 400 vehicles at the CNAE driving schools, as well as contributing 500 Euros per unit towards the rest of the vehicles.

Repsol operates 31 lpg filling stations in Spain and has plans to increase the number to 80. In addition, Repsol supplies 150 privately owned filling stations, which it plans to increase by an additional 100 per year by reaching agreement with driving schools, taxi and ambulance services, and trucking companies.

With most of its assets in Spain and Argentina, Repsol is the 15th largest petroleum company in the world, according to Fortune magazine.
