The Head of the National Union of Alternative Fuels stated that the demand for dual-fuel vehicles has increased significantly, saying: "This increase in demand has occurred following the collection of fuel cards and the management of gasoline consumption." This issue indicates a special focus on managing fuel resources and efforts to reduce gasoline consumption in the country.
Reasons for Increased Demand
Given the changes made in the fuel distribution system and the collection of fuel cards, owners of passenger vehicles have turned to converting their cars to dual-fuel. This action not only helps reduce gasoline consumption but also leads to decreased air pollution and increased energy efficiency. The Head of the National Union of Alternative Fuels emphasized that with the launch of educational and informational programs, people will become more familiar with the benefits of dual-fuel vehicles.

Future Plans and Government Debt
The Head of the Union also referred to future plans for converting ride-hailing taxis to dual-fuel, stating: "We are ready to implement the necessary programs for converting this category of vehicles by the end of this year." This action represents a positive step towards reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promoting cleaner energy. However, he also pointed to the government's debts to the fuel sector and the necessity for transparency in this regard. The government's debt has reached about 3.5 trillion tomans, which, if not managed properly, could lead to serious problems in securing fuel and related services.
Ultimately, the Head of the National Union of Alternative Fuels emphasized the importance of converting vehicles to dual-fuel and the need for cooperation among all institutions and organizations to achieve this goal, stating: "Proper management of fuel resources can help improve the economic situation and reduce environmental pollution."
