Reflecting on the journey that began in September 2013, le Roux highlighted the perseverance and determination that propelled NGV Gas through obstacles and challenges. From the initial stages of site clearance to the grand opening in March 2014, every milestone was a testament to the company's values of respect, integrity, and entrepreneurial spirit.

Since its inception, NGV Gas has revolutionised the transportation sector in South Africa, converting over 1,300 taxis, minibuses, and buses to run on natural gas. This transformation not only offers cost-effective fuel alternatives but also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the company's commitment to environmental stewardship.

Josua le Roux, CEO of CNG Holdings, emphasised the company's vision to be a market leader in supplying environmentally friendly energy solutions.
