Nigerian company R.T. Briscoe Plc has announced the commencement of converting petrol and diesel vehicles to LPG and CNG. Seyi Onajide, the Group Managing Director of Briscoe, made this announcement during an interactive session with journalists in Lagos.

He also unveiled several projects undertaken by the company, including the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) commitment to raise NGN 10 billion (USD 6,5 million) through a savings and investment scheme.

Onajide said the automotive division of the conglomerate decided to set up a CNG/LPG conversion facility in line with the Federal Government’s initiative.

“We started the conversion of petrol or diesel engine cars into CNG and LPG without government funding and we believe it is the future of automobile industry. We have successfully done that on some pick-up vehicles,” he noted.

“We believe that the average vehicle owner in Nigeria and even commuters can benefit from this initiative because it has a lot of benefits. It will save costs for the motoring public,” he explained.

He added that the automotive division of the R.T. Briscoe has well-trained technical and professional team that can perform the installation.
