Previously, China's General Administration of Quality Supervision issued the "Guiding Opinions on Further Strengthening the Safety Management of Oil-to-Gas Conversion for Motor Vehicles (Draft for Comments)" to local quality supervision bureaus to solicit suggestions on further strengthening the safety management of oil-to-gas conversion for motor vehicles. The draft emphasizes that the conversion of used motor vehicles from oil to gas will be terminated, and local governments are prohibited from issuing regulations on oil-to-gas conversion for used motor vehicles that do not comply with relevant laws and regulations. The following are its impacts: Using natural gas is indeed much more cost-effective than using gasoline, but natural gas is generally less fuel-efficient than gasoline and requires frequent refueling. Additionally, using natural gas will reduce the vehicle's power output, and the low-end torque performance will significantly decrease, far inferior to the power when using gasoline.
