Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam -Vietnam News -April 5, 2010: ... Converting to the more environmentally friendly fossil fuel has been slow due to the cost of converting old systems to those that can accommodate Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) ... Last year, bus operators in Ho Chi Minh City expressed interest in switching to CNG as the gas is also more cost-effective than regular fuel... The Sai Gon Passenger Transport Company and HCMC Bus Cooperative Alliance each imported one CNG bus... The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other environmental organizations have funded $250 million for a program to increase the use of CNG in Vietnam... Le Trung Tinh from the HCMC Department of Transport, said that HCMC now has about 5,000 buses with 1,300 of them in need of modernization... If authorities help businesses pay for clean-energy buses, the city would be able to convert 1,300 of the buses into more environmentally friendly vehicles...
