Car Explosions, Fires Jump in Armenia
The use of natural gas to power passenger cars in Armenia has its drawbacks, despite being cheaper than gasoline.
A car exploded on September 2 in Yerevan, sending three people to the hospital and damaging eleven cars and a public bus.
Armenia has a high rate of using natural gas for vehicles, with over 70% of cars running on it, due to its significant cost savings compared to expensive gasoline imports.
However, the conversion and refueling infrastructure have had safety issues due to a lack of government oversight, leading to dangerous accidents involving exploding gas tanks.
- Twenty-one car explosions have been recorded this year, a 50% jump over 2024.
- The number of fires recorded in vehicles has also been increasing since 2021, with an average of 463 vehicles catching fire each year.
