LPG installation is a low investment business with a simple business model and a fast payback period. Consider what is needed for a small service for two posts, and how much you can earn from it.

The installation of LPG (gas-balloon equipment) on cars is a business with a fairly low entry threshold, that is, it does not require significant investments to open it. At the same time, the constant increase in the cost of fuel, combined with the trend of falling real incomes of the population of the Russian Federation that has developed in recent years, makes motorists look for ways to reduce their costs. The business model of the service for the installation and maintenance of LPG is simple, there are a lot of craftsmen who can directly install LPG on cars, as well as manufacturers of such equipment. All this allows us to talk about fairly good prospects for this business.

Gas-cylinder equipment: basic terms and definitions

LPG equipment (GBO) means a set of equipment that allows the use of methane or propane-butane mixtures as fuel. It is possible to switch from traditional fuel to gas, which allows you to choose the optimal mode of operation of the car.

There are several generations of HBO, differing in equipment features. There are currently 6 generations of HBO. From the first generation, the simplest, to the sixth, the most high-tech. Experts clarify that in fact there are three generations, and all of them are associated with the evolution of the fuel supply system to the internal combustion engine. The main generations are HBO types tied to carburetor injection, injection and direct fuel injection. The remaining three generations of HBO are defined by experts as transitional, intermediate versions.

In Russia, HBO systems of the 4th and 5th generation are currently common. The sixth generation is practically not installed, as it is very expensive and requires serious intervention in the fuel and electrical system of the car, which can lead to problems with warranty repairs.

In addition to choosing the generation of equipment, you additionally need to choose the gas on which the car will run: propane (if correct, propane-butane) or methane. A car running on propane consumes about 20-30% more fuel per 100 kilometers than on gasoline. The consumption of methane is equal to or even 5-10% lower than the consumption of a car on gasoline.

The power reserve on methane with the same volume of the cylinder is much less. Keep in mind that there are far fewer methane gas stations than propane, so when using methane as your car's main fuel, be prepared for long trips to and queues at the gas station.

Installing methane HBO is somewhat more expensive than propane. In practice, about 70% of LPG vehicles run on propane, the rest on methane. This is mainly due to the safety issues of HBO on methane, since the high pressure in the cylinder, if it is damaged, leads to more serious consequences than in the case of using a propane cylinder. So, the main disadvantages of using HBO on methane compared to propane are:

Questions about the safety of the car, especially in the event of an accident.

Significantly fewer methane gas stations.

Higher cost of installation and operation of methane HBO.

Small power reserve on methane.

Given all of the above, business owners who install gas equipment on cars should focus on installing propane HBO, mainly the 4th generation.

HBO installation: who is your client

Despite the fact that the cost of fuel when operating a car on gas is less, the installation of LPG itself requires certain funds. Let's take a quick look at who benefits from switching to gas.

Let us determine the payback period of HBO within two years and calculate the mileage required to ensure the efficiency of the transition from gas to gasoline. A payback period of two years means that during this period the car will recoup the cost of installing HBO and start saving money on fuel. Of course, both the car itself and the gas equipment will last longer, but we must not only pay for the installation of LPG, but also begin to receive savings from this re-equipment.

Let's take the average price of 92 gasoline in Russia at 41 rubles per liter (October 2018). It differs somewhat by city, but in general, this figure reflects the real picture. The spread in the cost of propane at gas stations of various manufacturers is greater than for gasoline. Let's take an average price of 24 rubles per liter. Let's take propane consumption as 1:1.2 compared to gasoline.

The cost of equipment and installation of HBO varies depending on its generation and the region of the Russian Federation. We will take the cost of installing the 4th generation HBO at 25 thousand rubles. In addition to installation, according to the new rules, HBO registration with the traffic police is required. Such registration costs from 5 to 10 thousand rubles. The total cost of installing HBO will be 30 thousand rubles.

Now we have all the data to determine at what annual average mileage it is profitable to install LPG on it. Simple calculations show that the payback of HBO for a passenger car will come after 25 thousand kilometers. The average car mileage is about 15 thousand kilometers per year. Thus, even when operating a car for private purposes, HBO will pay off in less than two years.

Thus, the clients of the HBO installation service will be both private individuals and commercial vehicles, such as vehicles used as taxis or delivering small loads.

However, given the complexity of registering LPG and the smaller number of gas filling stations, it should be assumed that the transfer to LPG will take place in most commercial vehicles, and when opening such a business, it is commercial cars that should be considered your main customers. You should not miss the fact that when installing HBO, as a rule, the warranty on the car is lost.

Documents for opening a HBO installation business

At the first stage, it is necessary to register a company for the installation of HBO. For this business, both a limited liability company and registration as an individual entrepreneur (IP) are suitable. We recommend choosing registration as an individual entrepreneur, since the registration process itself in this case is somewhat simpler, as is the periodic reporting to be submitted.

Decide in advance how you will submit reports to the tax authorities, the social insurance fund and the pension fund. There is no need to hire a separate accountant, you can invite a combined accountant or contact a specialized outsourcing accounting company. This company will not only keep accounts, but also submit all necessary reports, keep personnel records and calculate taxes.

Ready-made ideas for your business

It is better to choose a taxation system from two: a patent or a single tax on imputed income (UTII). Both the first and second options have their pros and cons. Please note that the patent is only available for individual entrepreneurs. Which is more profitable, you need to calculate based on the specific data of your region. To do this, it is advisable to contact a specialized accounting company and order calculations.

The estimated amount of UTII for a service for the installation of HBO with a staff of five employees will be about 120 thousand rubles a year. You have the opportunity to reduce the amount received for payment by 50% of the paid insurance premiums for your employees.

The amount of tax, when applying the patent system of taxation for this type of business, for example, in the city of Rostov-on-Don, activities for 12 months will be 125,280 rubles. The tax amount is paid in two installments - the first payment is equal to 41,760 rubles no later than ninety calendar days after the commencement of the patent, the second payment is equal to 83,520 rubles no later than the expiration date of the patent.

Ready-made ideas for your business

As you can see, there is no big difference in the amount of taxes paid. You can calculate the exact amount of taxes for the first and second options for your region and the selected number of employees on the website of the Federal Tax Service.

Since, in addition to installing HBO, your business will probably provide other services to car owners, select in advance the full list of OKVED codes that may be required. You must select the following codes:

OKVED code 45.20.1 "Maintenance and repair of cars and light commercial vehicles"

OKVED code 45.3 "Trade in automotive parts, assemblies and accessories"

It is desirable for personnel conducting the installation of LPG to obtain a certificate of training in the specialty "Mechanic for the installation of automotive gas equipment." These courses are run by various organizations. In fact, employees need to obtain a certificate of training for a HBO installation master. In some cases, such training can be done remotely. As a rule, the duration of the courses is 1-2 weeks. Course fees vary by region. Pay attention to whether the training center has the necessary license to conduct such certification.

TIN certificate.

Certificate OGRN, OGRIP.

Certificate of ownership or lease agreement for the premises.

Certificate of training for a HBO installation master.

Obtaining a certificate can also be entrusted to a specialized company providing relevant services. In this case, the cost of obtaining a certificate will be from 5-7 thousand rubles.

We recommend that you carefully read GOST 31972-2013 “Motor vehicles. The procedure and procedures for control methods of installation of gas-cylinder equipment (as amended)”, which will regulate your activities.

In addition, you may need to issue the following certificates and permits: permission to re-examine CNG cylinders; permission for re-examination of LPG (propane) cylinders; certificate of the Authorized Representative for the technical examination of vehicles.

Licenses for the implementation of activities for the installation of HBO is not required.

Additional permits from the SES and the fire inspection upon opening, as a rule, are not required for your type of business, but everything can be individual depending on the region. However, the requirements of both the first and second bodies must be observed.

Ready-made ideas for your business

Additionally, the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor should be observed. In this article, we cannot list all the requirements that these organizations put forward for car services, since they relate to everything: ventilation, lighting, volume and area per worker, the availability of showers and toilets, and even the minimum distance to the nearest body of water. And also many more. However, in practice, these requirements are often not strictly enforced.

At the first stage, you need to familiarize yourself with two main documents regulating the activities of car services, including stations for the installation and maintenance of LPG:

"Rules for the provision of services (performance of work) for maintenance and RAMTS", approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation.

GOST R 51709-2001 “Vehicles. Safety requirements for technical condition and methods of verification.

HBO manufacturers

First of all, we note that there are many HBO manufacturers represented on the international and Russian markets. Almost every year, novelties appear in this area, which make HBO equipment more reliable, cheaper or more convenient to maintain and install.

You can follow the trends in the field of LPG, for example, by participating in the exhibition, which this year is called the 16th International Exhibition of Gas Cylinder, Gas Refueling Equipment and Gas Engine Fuel Vehicles. It is attended by the main manufacturers of equipment for HBO, which demonstrate their new products. In 2018, it takes place on October 23-25 ​​in Moscow.

The price of a set of equipment is different and starts from 10 thousand rubles. The most budgetary of the branded sets of HBO equipment is considered to be the products of LPGTECH. Components for HBO of this company are produced in Poland. However, some of the components included in the kit can be produced in some Asian country.

Another budget HBO manufacturer widely represented in Russia is SECGAS. Sufficiently high quality of the HBO equipment produced is complemented by a very budget price and the ability to "assemble" a set individually for each customer, based on his financial capabilities.

Lovato is one of the leading manufacturers of HBO equipment widely represented on the Russian market. This is an Italian company that is convenient both for HBO consumers and for the services that install it. For services, it is convenient, first of all, with an excellent distribution network, for consumers - with good quality and a good price.

Among the manufacturers of HBO in the middle price segment, BRC can also be distinguished. The equipment of this company is produced in Italy and Argentina. Although, as mentioned above, the specific place of production of any manufacturer in our age of global markets is sometimes very difficult to determine.

Gurtner is based in France. Every year the company carries out innovative developments, supplementing and improving the line of spare parts for LPG.

One of the Russian manufacturers of HBO is the company Alpha (INTERGAZSERVICE), which is also the official representative of the brands Lovato, Tomasetto, Atiker, Semperit. The cost of a HBO kit from this manufacturer is about 18 thousand rubles.

Thus, the HBO equipment market is very diverse. In addition to these companies, there are both super-expensive kits and spare parts of not always clear origin on the market. In practice, such a variety allows you to choose a set of equipment for a client with almost any financial capabilities and requirements.

Investment costs for opening a service for the installation of HBO

The main initial costs for opening a HBO installation service can be conditionally divided into three components: equipping a service room, purchasing tools, and purchasing several sets of HBO for installation. You can also highlight the costs of staff training and company registration, but this group is small relative to the cost of other components.

Requirements for the premises must comply with the basic requirements for the premises of car service stations. The area of ​​​​the room can be small - about 50 m2, it all depends on the number of posts for installing HBO. It is desirable to provide a separate area for the acceptance of cars, sanitary facilities and a staff rest room.

For a newly created business, we recommend not to acquire a property, but to rent it. In this case, if the business goes well and an increase in the number of jobs is required, you can quickly change the rented premises to premises with a larger area. Additionally, this minimizes the risks of starting a business, as we repeatedly reduce the amount of initial investments. Among entrepreneurs, there is an opinion that the premises in the property reduces the operating, or as they are called, the current costs of the business. This is not entirely true. It is correct to consider business efficiency separately. That is, from the profit of the HBO installation business, if the premises are owned, it is necessary to deduct the amount that you receive by renting out this premises. This way you will get the correct profit estimate result.

As for the location of the HBO installation service, there are no special requirements. Of course, it's good if the service is located in a place with good car traffic, and you can place a sign and other promotional materials on the facade. But the installation of HBO by a client is carried out once every few years, as a rule, not more often, and virality (“word of mouth”) and advertising will be more important for attracting customers.

Moreover, as we wrote above, most of the customers will equip commercial vehicles with HBO, and the location of the station is not so important for them.

The presence of lifts for the installation of HBO is not necessary, you can get by with a viewing hole.

The amount that you will need to invest in the equipment of the premises is not so high. If you find a room for the installation of HBO that meets all the requirements in advance, then the cost of cosmetic repairs, the purchase of furniture and promotional materials for the facade of the building will be no more than 100 thousand rubles.

As for the tool for installing HBO, the cost of acquiring it is not significant, since, as a rule, no expensive special tool is required. Wrench sets, power tools, bench tools and a welding machine are the main tool kit. In some cases, a laptop is required for adjusting and diagnosing gas systems and a digital oscilloscope. Approximately, it is possible to equip each post with a tool for up to 50 thousand rubles.

Consider the third component of investment costs - the purchase of several sets of HBO for installation and demonstration. Of course, several sets of HBO for installation should always be available. Not every client will agree to expect the supply of HBO, especially since the purchase of equipment in bulk is more profitable. Also, on the available kits, you can use an example to show the client the advantages or disadvantages of each type of equipment. Your costs for the purchase of equipment for installation will be about 300 thousand rubles.

So, if we want to create a HBO installation business on the basis of a rented room for two installation posts, then the initial costs, taking into account staff training, obtaining the necessary certificates and registering a company, will be about 600 thousand rubles. Of course, this amount can be reduced or increased, it all depends on the specific conditions for creating a company and the region where it is located. But, understanding the scheme for calculating the initial costs described by us, you can easily make adjustments yourself and calculate the required amount.

Financial indicators of the HBO installation service

The financial performance of the HBO installation service mainly depends on how well you can ensure the flow of customers. This market is quite competitive and installation prices depend both on the region of the service and on the number of competitors.

On average, without taking into account the difference in the cost of installing different generations of HBO, you will receive about 5.5 thousand rubles for installing one set. About two thousand rubles you will pay the masters for each installation. Total marginal (direct) profit will be 3.5 thousand rubles for the installation of each kit.

If you have two posts and ensure that they are loaded with work at the level of 80%, you will earn about 168 thousand rubles per month, excluding other expenses. Your masters will receive about 48 thousand rubles a month. This is a fairly high salary for the regions in this sector, but we initially focus on attracting good specialists who have undergone high-quality training and have sufficient experience.

Other expenses for paying rent, taxes and other expenses will amount to about 60 thousand rubles a month. The total profit with the characteristics of the HBO installation service described by us will be about 108 thousand rubles per month.

Additionally, one should take into account income from maintenance and additional services, for example, registration of LPG for a car, which are now offered by many services. The net profit from two posts from these areas will be about 15 thousand rubles per month for two posts. The total expected profit of such a service will be about 123 thousand rubles per month, or a little less than 1.5 million rubles in annual terms.

Methods for attracting customers to the HBO installation service

Your profit from this business will mainly depend on how well you ensure the flow of customers to the service. Do not forget that the competition in this segment is very high. For example, only the 2GIS directory reports the presence of 80 companies in Moscow or 25 companies in Rostov-on-Don that operate in this segment. So the client always has plenty to choose from.

First of all, try to establish regular work with companies that provide commercial transportation services. Such companies provide their vehicles with high mileage and for them the benefits of installing HBO are the most obvious. Taxi companies, sole proprietors renting cars to taxi companies or courier services can be examples of such firms. Finding such companies is quite easy. For example, looking through the ads on the search for drivers for passenger vehicles. However, there are plenty of other options as well.

Be sure to provide your HBO installation service with a presence on the Internet. Make a small and understandable site that customers from search networks will visit. The cost of developing such a business card site will be about 10 thousand rubles. Try the option of using contextual search advertising to attract targeted traffic. Try to make a page with customer reviews on the site. As practice shows, the presence of such real reviews can increase the flow of customers by 10-15%.

Be sure to register on all reference services that provide information on goods and services in the region. Examples of such services are 2GIS, Yandex.Spravochnik and many others.

Post your offer on online bulletin boards. Try guerrilla marketing, where individuals post positive comments about your service on various forums. But do not abuse this channel (by the term “channel”, we mean in this case a way to attract customers, this is a special term for marketers, not a television channel), as a large number of positive reviews can irritate customers.

All of these advertising channels offer both paid and free placement options. What will effectively attract customers in your area, you can only find out by trying each of these methods. Allocate 10 thousand rubles for each advertising channel and consistently test each one for, for example, one month.

Every time you get a client to install HBO, you should be interested in what channel he found your service through. Of course, it is impossible to remember all this, it is desirable in this case to use CRM systems that will allow you to systematize and track all channels of information. A customer relationship management (CRM) system is an application software for organizations designed to automate customer or client interaction strategies. CRM-systems will also allow you to create and effectively use the customer base, which you can remind, for example, of the approach to the timing of scheduled maintenance of LPG, which will further increase profits. There are a number of free CRM systems that can significantly increase the efficiency of your HBO installation business without additional investments.

The main channel for attracting customers will still be the quality of work performed at the HBO installation station, the main one of which is, basically, the professionalism of your employees.

Profitability calculator for this business

Business related to motor transport has always been considered quite profitable. Particularly profitable in this industry - gas stations. And if everything is more or less clear with gasoline and the market is firmly occupied by large players, then with gas filling stations the situation is somewhat different. Almost any small business can successfully operate with only one or two gas filling stations. In the current economic environment, when gasoline prices are becoming prohibitively high for a large circle of people, and the environmental situation in large cities leaves much to be desired, such an alternative fuel as propane-butane is becoming more and more relevant. And the fact that the number of customers at gas stations will grow is a fact, watching as gasoline prices soar.

The purpose of this business is to open and create modern, well-equipped gas filling stations (gas filling stations) that provide high-quality services for refueling cars with liquefied hydrocarbon gas throughout Russia. The social orientation of this business lies in the fact that the more filling stations are opened in Russia, the more the popularity of this type of fuel will increase, and therefore environmental performance will improve.

Using the experience of our specialists and a competent approach to implement this business, the construction of filling stations will require a significantly smaller amount of funds compared to traditional filling stations of well-known chain brands.

The mission of the company is to create an effective enterprise offering a service that is in demand on the market, providing a high level of service at an affordable price. Contributes to the solution of social, environmental and economic problems of the region, ensuring the progressive development and stable growth of the welfare of franchisees and employees.

Excerpts from the study

Project business idea: opening of a station for the repair and maintenance of vehicles, with an emphasis on the installation of gas-balloon equipment (hereinafter referred to as LPG) in the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

As part of the project, it is planned to organize a complex that meets modern service requirements and a set of related services.

Project goals:

• opening of a modern service center;
• sufficient and reliable provision of needs for the provision of services, namely, the installation of gas-balloon equipment;
• increase in the occupied market niche for the provision of the specified type of service, in the city and beyond;
• profit optimization in order to ensure payback in the shortest possible time;
• maintaining the quality of services and securing a positive reputation for the enterprise.

Benefits of using HBO

• high octane number of gas, and, as a result, less load on the connecting rod and piston group due to anti-knock resistance;
• the purity of the gas itself, and, accordingly, the absence of carbon deposits on candles, pistons and valves;
• the absence of lead in the gas compared to leaded gasoline;
• objectively, a well-adjusted engine runs softer and more smoothly responds to the position of the gas pedal, which becomes especially noticeable when driving in traffic jams;
• also, when using gas motor fuel, the service life of the vehicle is significantly increased, and the cost of their maintenance is reduced.
• on average, the service life of a CNG or LNG engine is one and a half times longer.
• the noise level of an engine running on methane is 2 times lower than that of a gasoline engine.
• reduction of fuel costs when using gas is possible due to the lower price of gas compared to refined products. The cost of gas on average in Russia is 50% lower than the cost of AI-92 gasoline, while the energy efficiency is almost the same.
• Another argument in favor of gas equipment is the minimum depreciation. With proper operation of the equipment, the overhaul period until the replacement of rubber products (with the exception of gas nozzles, the service life of which directly depends on the quality of the gas) will be at least 5 years.

Market analysis

Consumption of gas motor fuel in Russia is steadily growing. Today, the network of CNG filling stations (CNG filling stations) in Russia consists of more than *** stations, *** of which belong to PJSC Gazprom5. Gazprom's CNG sales in 2015 increased by ***% compared to the previous year and amounted to *** million cubic meters. m. A large-scale program for the construction of new CNG filling stations is being implemented. By the end of 2016, it is planned to build *** new CNG filling stations in the *** region of Russia.

As a result, an increase in gas consumption is expected to increase by ***%, that is, up to *** million cubic meters. m.

It is predicted, based on the data of PJSC Gazprom analysts, that by 2017 the demand for CNG will increase almost 2 times and amount to *** million cubic meters. m per year.

In particular, according to optimistic forecasts, by 2030 the fleet of cars in the Russian Federation will amount to *** million units, and the share of gas types of motor fuel by 2030 will be ***%, or approximately *** million units.

Thus, the project is promising, since the role of gas motor fuel will only increase.

Thus, among the factors conducive to the development of the market for car services and after-sales service centers, we can name:

• increase in the number of cars and the projected level of sales of new cars;
• the tendency to accelerate the pace of life, when the choice is given to speed and quality.

Among the constraining factors of market development:

• undeveloped regulatory framework. The lack of clear legislation allows private craftsmen to freely provide auto repair services on their own. The fact that they do not pay taxes, rent allows them to offer minor repairs at more attractive prices, making it much more difficult for officially registered companies;
• lowering the general level of purchasing power of the population;
• the difficulty of selecting qualified personnel that meets all the necessary requirements;
• lack of land; and the high cost of renting land. This problem is related to the fact that land in cities is given mainly for building office and residential buildings;
• shadow business. Centers and workshops that do not have sufficient qualifications to carry out repairs create additional competition in the market and select customers from professional car services. Professional associations that develop technical standards for various activities are trying to establish some control over such players. Currently, such activities cannot be assessed as successful.

Factors that positively influence the development of HBO:

• environmental problems in the production and consumption of fuel;
• limited explored oil reserves.

These factors dictate the need for the development of alternative fuels, in particular gas motor fuel, the use of which today has great prospects.

At the same time, despite a number of advantages of using gas as a fuel, for the development of the market it is necessary:

• creation of a developed infrastructure and improvement of technologies for the use of gas,
• there is a need to improve legislation in the fuel industry in order to create effective mechanisms for its state regulation.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the opening of a station for the repair and maintenance of vehicles, with an emphasis on the installation of gas-balloon equipment in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, is a promising project, based on the increasing relevance of using gas motor fuel.

Project Benefits

The project compares favorably with existing competitors in terms of the main criteria. *** can become the main competitive advantage. Also, competitors do not have ***, similar to the project. Also competitors have below ***.

The disadvantage may be ***, firms in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk have been advertising these services for more than one year, there are many opportunities for larger firms.

There are also strengths of the competitive environment: this is the cost of services, this is an important factor of influence.

Also among the competitors, the company "***" should be noted, which has a number of clear competitive advantages.

According to the data received, the business is promising due to the offer to the consumer of exclusively new HBO equipment and a number of clear competitive advantages.

The project being created will have some characteristics that will distinguish it from competitors.

The regular increase in prices for diesel fuel and gasoline is increasingly forcing numerous motorists to think about re-equipping their car for gas fuel.

This is due to the fact that gas will cost an order of magnitude less.

In perspective business ideas for installing gas equipment on cars there is no doubt, moreover, such a business can bring a good stable income to its founder.

In order to start a business for re-equipping cars with gas, no large cash outlays are required. This business option will be built on the desire of owners to save money. For this reason, the benefits here are undeniable.

Recently, services for the transfer of cars to gas are increasingly being offered. This is due, first of all, to the desire of motorists to save on the cost of a car, since gas is significantly cheaper than diesel fuel or gasoline. The only required investment in this case is the installation of gas-balloon equipment on the car, however, these expenses pay off quite quickly, especially in the case of intensive use of the vehicle. That is why the popularity of using gas as a fuel is growing. And this means that automobile gas filling stations are becoming more and more in demand, and can bring a good income. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that with proper organization, the design, construction and launch of a gas filling station will require less investment than for the construction of a conventional AZGK.

It should be noted that this type of fuel is already catching up with the traditional one, and the number of filling stations with gas installations in Ukraine is increasing from year to year. The installation of LPG equipment (LPG) on vehicles in Ukraine is growing at a rapid pace. This is due to the many advantages of liquefied gas as a motor fuel over gasoline. The constant rise in gasoline prices is steadily provoking motorists to look for a variety of ways to reduce travel costs. In such a situation, there are few options available and the most affordable and reasonable of them is the installation of HBO. At the same time, they are actively interested in both owners of budget cars and expensive cars in the premium segment. There are fifth-generation gas installations that can be installed on the most modern and expensive cars. The issue of saving is also acute for representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, for whom commercial vehicles should be minimally costly to operate. The issue of re-equipment of cars touched almost all taxi companies and transport companies.

We can safely conclude that the main driver of the growth of the liquefied gas market is the constant rise in prices for traditional fuels and the desire of car owners to save money. Another reason is the worsening economic situation in the country. The more difficult the economic situation, the more drivers install LPG.
