Whats the team dynamics like?
I’ve got a very professional four person team. I do the organising and driving, and I have a mechanic with me who does all the repairs and CNG fillings. We also have a photographer and one video cameraman. Has it been an eventful three months crossing so many countries? The Iran border was quite interesting, because when I opened my car boot and they see the tanks, they asked me, “Hey are you tourist or terrorist?” Anyhow, the tour is on schedule, so far no problems other than one tyre puncture. India is quite a tricky country for CNG because there is only CNG in the west coast, but apart from that, things have been quite good so far. Do you think CNG will ever over-take petrol? Probably not overtake, but CNG will play a major role. For example, in Germany we have a 5% market share, and I’m pretty sure it will go up to 20%. CNG is very reliable, it is almost 50% cheaper than fuel and you know it will last much longer. If fuel runs out in 2030 or 2040, we will still have CNG available.
