Argentina is rich in Natural Gas. It is the world’s top user of CNG—Compressed Natural Gas. Having the largest fleet of CNG converted vehicles and refueling stations, Argentina is the reference model for countries seeking to obtain the ecological and economic benefits of this alternative fuel. In 1983 the argentine government launched its “Compressed Natural Gas Project”. GNC GALILEO was the first argentine company to supply the required equipment.
Since then, the company has grown to become a world supplier, the state-of-the-art, technological leader and the only company to offer the entire range of equipment for CNG.

Today, our country is ranked first in the world in the field of CNG converted vehicles and gas stations. This leading position plus seventeen years of experience in the field set Argentina as a model to be followed by those countries looking for the advantages of this alternative fuel. In an unprecedented event, on August 27, 2001 an Antonov AN124 aircraft, considered the largest freighter in the world, landed in Ezeiza International Airport (Argentina). The reason for such a significant presence was to export five Natural Gas-powered MICROBOX GALILEO CNG Compressors to India. This cargo is part of a development program implemented in India, a country that already has fifteen similar equipment.

The Galileo Group CNG, an Argentine company that has had extensive participation in the development of CNG at national level from its early stages, produces this kind of technology.
Today, the company is embarked on a sustained exports program whose prime targets are Latin America, Asia and Europe, thus leading the international Natural Gas markets of Gas Stations, Vehicle Conversion and Road Transport.

The use of the specific air means of transport, considering the equipment weight (eighty-three tons) and volume, helped speed up the New Delhi project implementation and also stressed the efficiency and urgent need for employing this abundant and environmental pollution low level fuel in self-propulsion. It also reflects the international expertise and prestige of our national industry in this special field where the Galileo Group holds the lead.

The Galileo Group, a leading company in natural gas applied technology, provides vehicle conversion, compression, adjustment and natural gas transport equipment.
The company´s industrial facilities are located in Buenos Aires province, Argentina, where the Group produces its four product lines. It has an international network of business associates, distributors and representatives in Latyn America, Europe and Asia.

CNG is undoubtedly the fuel of the future. We’ve heard a lot about unpolluted energies, but none of them useful in a massive way. Meanwhile, pollution has reached unbearable levels. CNG combines experience, low costs, low contamination, availability, and can be used in a wide range of possibilities.

In Galileo we are convinced about it, that’s why we work day by day developing a simple and efficient technology.
We want CNG to be spread worldwide and that’s why we make products that make this possible. We feel proud of the achievements obtained and we are willing to continue innovating and developing the best technology.
