When it comes to reducing the emission of CO2 and pollutants in the mobility sector, electrified drivelines are currently a particular focus of public interest. Interest in the use of CNG as a way of reducing the CO2 emissions of road traffic, however, is considerably less widespread. The commitment of most vehicle makers and their system developers is similarly low in respect of CNG.This paper shows that CNG vehicles are already making a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions. Furthermore, a cross-sector analysis of the future energy market demonstrates that CNG is extremely well suited as a partner to the electricity market within the context of the energy transition. CNG vehicles are therefore the ideal addition to e-traction on the road to CO2-neutral mobility.
