Aral suspends sales of compressed natural gas in Luxembourg
A service station chain has said it has ceased selling compressed natural gas at its Luxembourg outlets following an accident in Germany.
(jag/JB) A service station chain has said it has ceased selling compressed natural gas (CNG) at its Luxembourg outlets following an accident in Germany.
Aral director Romain Hoffmann said the decision to cease selling the fuel came after a gas tank exploded at a petrol station during filling.
“It is just a precaution. We are waiting for the findings from Volkswagen on the fuel tanks of their cars,” he said.
Aral had already ceased selling the fuel in Germany. It is the only company in Luxembourg which sells CNG. The closure is expected to affect up to 300 vehicles in Luxembourg.
