en.Wedoany.com Reported - Primax has officially launched compressed natural gas (CNG) services at the Chilca station, aiming to expand fuel supply coverage along Peru's main logistics corridor.
After completing a seven-day trial run to optimize equipment operation and ensure operational standards aligned with the company's value proposition, the station entered commercial operations in the second week of June. For this opening, Primax equipped the station with one high-flow dispenser capable of simultaneously refueling two heavy-duty vehicles, and one low-flow dispenser for two light-duty vehicles at the same time. Infrastructure design allows for the addition of extra dispensers as demand grows, providing flexibility to respond to market changes.
The Chilca CNG station is located along the Southern Pan-American Highway corridor, the exit route from Lima to Ica and the south of the country, an area with a high concentration of tractor-trailers, buses, trucks, and vans operating on medium and long-distance routes. This deployment aims to strengthen CNG coverage and expand available infrastructure along this key transport axis.
Primax stated that the station offers a competitive fuel alternative focused on cost savings, featuring the latest technology, professional personnel, and high safety standards, while also reducing operating time and avoiding route detours for a more efficient and economical refueling experience. Current CNG demand continues to grow, driven by the increasing number of buses and tractor-trailers using this fuel due to its higher operational efficiency, lower cost per kilometer, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, financing mechanisms such as FISE GNV Cálidda and Contugas are facilitating fleet conversions, accelerating the transition to more efficient energy alternatives.
Hugo Calderón, Primax's Direct Operations Manager, stated: "With the launch of CNG operations at the Chilca station, we continue advancing our network development to support transportation growth. This opening strengthens our coverage along a strategic corridor, enabling customers to access more efficient, accessible, and reliable energy solutions." This launch is part of Primax's CNG network expansion plan, which will continue to advance with strategic partners to strengthen available infrastructure along key national routes and expand access to safer, more economical, and more sustainable alternatives.
