PVGAZPROM NGV and Tretiy Park Sign Cooperation Agreement

PVGAZPROM NGV and Tretiy Park have entered into a Heads of Agreement for Cooperation at Saint Petersburg International Gas Forum 2021. Andrey Bogachev, General Director of PVGAZPROM NGV, and Kirill Dyakovskiy, General Director of Tretiy Park, have signed the document in the presence of Sergey Tumanov, Managing Director of Gazprom EP International.
The Agreement establishes a long-term partnership aiming at joint development of the prospective project under which LNG will be used as fuel for public transport in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

“Over the years, together with the Vietnamese side, we have been making serious efforts to expand the NGV market in Vietnam and promote LNG as an alternative fuel. We are glad to enter into the partnership agreement with the Russian transport company, which has already successfully switched its bus fleet from diesel to LNG. There is no doubt in my mind that Tretiy Park's experience will be very helpful and our cooperation will be productive and mutually beneficial”, said Sergey Tumanov.
