Maxicon puts full bet on eco-friendly CNG technology

Maxicon's employees are the heart of the company. Everyone there contributes to making all employees feel as family-like as possible through the cordial atmosphere in the offices as well as the direct way of communicating. With this mindset, Maxicon is a pioneer in the industry. In addition, Maxicon was also a trendsetter within the technical outscouring sector by offering passenger cars as company cars. These not only offer more luxury and comfort than the classic vans, but also offer great value within the family life of the top technicians.

In 2018, Maxicon is once again living up to its pioneering role. Thus, Maxicon has just purchased 25 brand-new passenger cars - even better equipped than before - to put their top technicians in flowers. Moreover, all these cars, from the Volkswagen and Opel brands, are equipped with the environmentally friendly CNG technology.

CNG stands for compressed natural gas and is the same fuel used to heat a lot of homes. Natural gas is available all over the world and is a lot less polluting than petrol or diesel. Because CNG - unlike the better-known LPG - is lighter than air and therefore evaporates on release, CNG cars can be parked in underground garages.

How environmentally friendly are CNG cars now compared to diesel and petrol cars?

• 90% less nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to a diesel car
• 12% less CO2 compared to a diesel car
• 27% less CO2 compared to a petrol car
• Fine dust emissions almost nil

Finally, CNG can also be transported via underground distribution channels, which reduces the number of trucks on the road and thus reduces traffic jams.

So Maxicon not only ensures a better environment, more luxury and comfort for their employees, but also reduces traffic jams. A clear Win-Win situation!
