The transport industry has witnessed an ever-growing increase in natural gas vehicles due to a number of positive factors. Natural gas fuelled vehicles present advantages both from an ecologic and economic point of view, due to a lower environmental impact and the present-day cost of methane compared to traditional fuels.
However, a very frequent question that many people ask is whether methane fueled vehicles are safe and whether they are strong enough.
And, if we asked you to make a comparison between a composite gas cylinder and a steel one, and to tell us which one of the two has the greater ability to protect the passengers in case of an explosion, what would your answer be?
What do you think would happen if you had to have an accident against a resistant obstacle whilst driving a gas fueled car? Do you think the gas cylinder would explode?
