CNG Motorcycles - banned in Pakistan for now

Pakistan’s Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has imposed a ban on use of CNG in motorcycles, because it is not covered under existing Pakistan CNG Rules 1992/Standard Code of Practice, citingr reasons of public safety. The request for compliance has been issued to CNG station operators, licensees and all CNG users, according to a report confirmed by an OGRA official to NGV Global. The ban appears to have arisen in the face of  CNG-powered motorcycles being advertised for sale but without the necessary licencing approvals, and will also discourage backyard conversions with their inherent safety issues. There are currently no legal CNG-powered motor cycles in Pakistan, the official said, adding that OGRA is open to consideration of CNG motorcycles for approval though.
