The situation of the market for natural gas vehicles is highly disparate, geographically speaking. The low constraints on the use of natural gas have enabled some manufacturers to continue to meet the expectations of a marginal national market supported by tax incentives, while maintaining moderate investments. In addition, these technologies were perfectly suited to the needs and regulatory requirements of other geographical areas, and made it possible to satisfy a drastic need to reduce urban pollutants, particularly particulates.
