Team Indonesia for the ANGVA Green Highways Project
The ANGVA Green Highways Project 2009 torch and flag relay began its long awaited journey to Donghae, Korea from Jakarta, Indonesia on Saturday, 5th September 2009, with a total of 74 stakeholders from the Indonesian government and CNG-NGV private sector taking part in the launch event. The Green Highways Project is a Biennial event held in conjunction with ANGVA’s series of conferences and exhibitions. For the year 2009, ANGVA’s 3rd Conference and Exhibition will be held in Donghae and the Green Highways Project will consist of 2 convoys of vehicles journeying along the routes of Iran, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China to Korea and Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China to Korea. The convoys will be handing over an ANGVA Green Highways Project torch and flag to each country’s contingent as they move from border to border.
The project aims to create awareness and promote NGVs, ANGVA, and NGV infrastructure. It is about harmonization of NGV Standards and Code of Practices, especially safety standards. It is also about getting the local NGV industry and associations’ involvement, and getting cooperation and exchange of information and experiences between countries along the routes of the Green Highways.
Team Indonesia was headed by Mr. Danny Praditya, Secretary General of the CNG Association of Indonesia (APCNGI). The official launch of the Green Highways project began at PT Petross Gas’s refuelling station at Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan.
The NGV rally flag off began with 26 NGVs taking part, including 3 CNG-Bajaj (three wheelers) 5 Taxis, and 3 Angkots. The rest were made up of private CNG car owners. More details and photos are available from the ANGVA Green Highway website.
