Headline: "Rush to fit natural gas gadget"

THERE have been times when Steven Ng of Sugio NGV Technology had thought about giving up his involvement in the natural gas vehicle (NGV) business that he ventured into six years ago.
For the first four years, business was very bad. But Ng persevered with strong will power and determination, staying on in the business despite the odds.

Today, the lucky Ng can now stand and walk tall.
While everyone is complaining about the steep hike in petrol and diesel prices, Ng has reason to smile. Why?

People are suddenly realising that converting their vehicles to run on NGV would help ease their financial burdens.

"I had tough times during the first four years as the business was not good and I only saw some signs of progress after 2006," Ng recalled.
"From the very first day, I knew this was the business of the future but things did not go as I expected until just a week ago when the government raised the petrol price to RM2.70 sen per litre," Ng said.

"It is only due to the drastic increase in the petrol price that people are thinking of converting their vehicles to run on NGV," Ng told StarMetro during an interview.

Ng said his business had grown sixfold over the last one week and he was having a tough time coping with the increasing demand from motorists who wanted their vehicles converted into the NGV mode immediately.

Ng said that in recent months, he used to have about five walk-in customers per day but the situation changed drastically now as his center had been converting some 20 vehicles per day.
"There have been an average of 30 people lining up with their vehicles at my center daily but it can only serve 20 vehicles per day," he said.

Ng said that his center was now operating at maximum capacity, with his workers putting in extra hours each day.

He said the demand for supply from dealers and other NGV conversion centers had also been overwhelming with orders amounting to hundreds per day.

"You would be surprised by the number of calls I have been receiving each day. I am forced to turn down orders from some the dealers due to lack of stock," he said. According to Ng, the parts for the conversion, including gas cylinders and reducers, are imported from Europe, Argentina and India.

Ng is obviously making regular trips to the bank, powered by, what else, NGV!
