Chevrolet Turkey aims to convert 1,400 cars to consume liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) this year, doubling the number compared to 2007.

Chevrolet Turkey also aims to conquer a 2 percent market share of passenger cars in Turkey.
LPG is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles and is increasingly replacing chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol propellant and a refrigerant to minimize damage to the ozone layer.

Murat Aydin, sales and marketing manager of Chevrolet Turkey told the Turkish Daily News that. “LPG is a reality in Turkey. Out of six million cars, 1.5 million are converted to use LPG.” he said.

Chevrolet converted 700 passenger cars to use LPG in 2007. “We have a special transformation program with a three year warranty to support car dealers. The reason we have decided to focus on LPG this much is because it cuts down on the maintenance costs of cars and also reduces their impact on the environment,” he said.
