The plant for producing the kit for bi-fuel (kerosene and gasoline) vehicles was inaugurated in Ardebil on Saturday.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the factory, Managing Director of Rasa Pisheh Arya (APK) Company Farid Akbarzadeh said the kit for bi-fuel systems can be installed on gasoline powered vehicles as of the next week.
"Production of this kit is in line with the notion of optimum use of new energies. Given the contracts signed so far, the factory can produce 300 kits per day," he added, Mehr News Agency reported.
He recalled that technical specifications of the kit lead to the reduction of fuel consumption and pollutants, high safety, increasing lifetime of engine, and economic feasibility.
He said with this system fuel consumption decreases up to 50 percent given the type of the vehicle.
"By installing this kit, air pollution caused by vehicles will decrease by over the two-thirds," he noted. He said currently 26 million liters of kerosene is produced per day in the country some 17 million liters of which are used domestically and exported.
"The remaining nine million liters is injected to natural gas reservoirs," he pointed out. Akbarzadeh emphasized that the factory has generated 63 new job opportunities.
