Competent and professionally installed and maintained Natural Gas for Vehicles / Compressed Natural Gas (NGV/CNG) system is quite safe. Especially when equipped with the necessary safety devices and periodically inspected.

“NGV/CNG is an old and proven technology over 70 years of history. Natural Gas rises and dissipate into the air easily. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) ignites at a 600 degree celsius. Natural Gas fuel circuit has no air inside, resulting in low-flammability. NGV cylinders are much less dangerous than a petrol tank in case of collision. Natural Gas for vehicle has a higher octane rating than petrol (130 vs 95). Natural Gas combustion is complete at any ambient temperature. Engine Oil is less contaminated if operating in NGV. NGV exhaust gasses are not corrosive. Natural gas eliminates scavenging action inside the engine cylinder chambers. NGV engines presents great performance flexibility during acceleration. NGV are able to switch between natural gas and petrol mode. NGV doubles up driving range with both CNG and petrol. NGV operates in all terrains, even across mountains. NGV/CNG works in all climate condition including extreme hot and cold. NGV are NOT underpowering vehicle at all.”

Those are just a few arguments, on how safe is NGV/CNG, found at NGV Hijau’s site here. And many other sites provide many more details and statistics. Numerous studies have shown that NGV/CNG vehicles are as safe as any conventional vehicles, if not safer. Insurance companies have no reservations about insuring them.
