现在结束欧洲NGVA的第四届国际展和研讨会，留下一​​个强大的信息共享与讨​​论，贸易联系，产品的推出对天然气开发区域和全球分担责任和承诺的遗留问题。托管由Energigas Sverige的事件有60家参展商，其中包括沃尔沃和菲亚特，以及出席1500多。

的瑞典燃气协会（Energigas）董事总经理说到的事件开幕安德斯Mathiasson，告诉瑞典的驱动促进沼气在不同运输部门在瑞典的参与者和参观者今天，天然气汽车的前列，从而保持自己的国家（NGV）技术。

也出席了开幕式，清洁运输的单位和可持续的城市交通，欧洲委员会主管丹妮拉罗什卡格哈德Holtmeier欧洲NGVA总统;巴罗尼Mariarosa，NGV意大利总统尼克拉斯Gustavsson的，沃尔沃集团高级副总裁;和克劳迪奥湖畔，的NGV通信集团董事。

从丹妮拉罗什卡在开幕研讨会的消息明确 - 欧洲不能继续烧1亿美元进口石油日产量欧元。欧共体通过多个项目，包括LNG蓝色走廊项目旨在建立一个真正的替代LNG作为中长途运输 - 第一足以替代柴油作为一种补充燃料，后来，旨在提高能源利用效率。该项目的目标是建立大约14个新的液化天然气（LNG）或L-CNG加气站，包括长期和移动，沿着蓝色走廊，同时建立一个约100重型车辆由LNG船队的关键位置上。罗什卡的总结 - “我们想要的，我们可以”。

蓝色走廊项目共同资助由欧共体和27个合作伙伴，所有的人都已经从15名成员在2008年到今天的150多个成员欧洲NGVA，。

罗什卡的介绍后，执行副总裁兼公共与环境事务的Niklas Gustavsson的沃尔沃集团，沃尔沃的努力，以建立可持续的交通解决方案，考虑到环境，社会和经济方面的可持续性，谁发言。他说，沃尔沃证明它是不可能建立卡车使用替代燃料，如天然气，描述为“最方便ALT燃料”之一的甲烷。

Gustavsson的重申罗什卡的号召，密切合作和投资朝着可持续发展的移动性，同时幽默地总结，“我们想要的避险流动完全战胜了罗什卡，我们可以，我们做的！”

NGVA欧洲和NGV全球使用的事件为契机，肯定协同行动，特别是关于建立和提供有效的政策立场和天然气（CNG，LNG，生物甲烷）的实施，相关的参数，不只是道路上的交通也为海运，铁路和越野应用。天然气汽车协会和成员克服技术和政策问题，有着悠久的历史，我们的经验将有助于缓解其他运输行业，并通过采用天然气作为一种主流的燃料。

NGVA Europe’s 4th International Show and Workshops is now concluded, leaving a powerful legacy of information sharing and discussion, trade connections, product launch and commitments toward sharing the responsibility of natural gas development both regionally and worldwide. Hosted by Energigas Sverige, the event had 60 exhibitors including Volvo and Fiat, and an attendance of more than 1500.

Speaking at the event opening Anders Mathiasson, Managing Director of the Swedish Gas Association (Energigas) told participants and visitors of Sweden’s drive to promote biogas in different transport sectors in Sweden today, thereby keeping his country at the forefront of natural gas vehicle (NGV) technology.

The opening ceremony was also attended by Daniela Rosca, Head of the Unit for Clean Transport and Sustainable Urban Mobility, European Commission; Gerhard Holtmeier, NGVA Europe President; Mariarosa Baroni, NGV Italy President; Niklas Gustavsson, Senior Vice President Volvo Group; and Claudio Kohan, NGV Communications Group Director.

The message from Daniela Rosca in the opening workshop was clear – Europe cannot continue to burn EUR 1 billion of imported oil per day. The EC is aiming to improve energy efficiency through a number of projects including the LNG Blue Corridors project which aims to establish LNG as a real alternative for medium & long distance transport – first as a complementary fuel and later as an adequate substitute for diesel. The project has set the goal to build approximately 14 new LNG or L-CNG stations, both permanent and mobile, on critical locations along identified Blue Corridors whilst building up a fleet of approximately 100 Heavy Duty Vehicles powered by LNG. Rosca’s summary – “We want and we can”.

The Blue Corridor Project is co-funded by the EC and 27 partners, all of whom are members of NGVA Europe, which has grown from 15 members in 2008 to more than 150 today.

Rosca’s presentation was followed by Executive Vice President Public & Environmental Affairs at Volvo Group, Niklas Gustavsson, who spoke of Volvo’s effort to create sustainable transport solutions that take into consideration the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainability. He said Volvo proved it is possible to build trucks using alternative fuels such as natural gas, describing methane as “one of the most accessible alt-fuels”.

Gustavsson reiterated Rosca’s call for close cooperation and investment toward sustainable mobility, at the same time humorously trumping Rosca by summarizing, “we want, we can, we do!”

NGVA Europe and NGV Global used the event as an opportunity to affirm collaborative action, particularly with regards building and delivering effective policy positions and arguments related to natural gas (CNG, LNG, biomethane) implementation, not just for on-road transportation but also for marine, rail and off-road applications. Natural gas vehicle associations and members have a long history of overcoming technology and policy issues; our experience will help inform other transportation sectors and ease the passage for natural gas to be adopted as a mainstream fuel.
