Vietnam introduces “green” motorbikes to Cambodia
A Cambodian motor company has signed an agreement to purchase hundreds of made-in-Vietnam liquid petroleum gas (LPG) motorbike conversion kits, said a scientist Saturday.

The inventor of the conversion kit, Bui Van Ga said that Global Impexs Motor Cambodia Co. Ltd has bought 400 carburetor kits to convert petrol engines to combust on LPG.

Ga, Director of central Da Nang University, said that using gas reduced environmental pollution by 30 percent and save 40 percent in fuel costs.

He added the agreement came after the company had purchased and tested 10 conversion kits, calling the innovative product economical, effective and viable for the local market.

Besides Global Impexs, companies from India, Thailand, Philippines, and others from African countries have signed memorandums of understanding to purchase the products.

In August, 25 of the first motorbikes using environmentally friendly liquid petroleum gas (LPG) were delivered to customers in Da Nang City.
