Natural gas heavy truck and vehicle gas cylinder industry in-depth report

The layout of LNG filling stations in the north is relatively perfect. From the perspective of national distribution, China's LNG refueling stations are concentrated in the provinces with large LNG consumption and the provinces with large LNG output such as Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and Shanxi. In 2016, the number of LNG refueling stations in the top ten provinces with LNG consumption is 1443, accounting for 58.66%, which coincides with the downstream consumption area. In 2016, the top three provinces in terms of the number of LNG filling stations were Shandong (295), Hebei (240) and Xinjiang (198), respectively, with year-on-year growth of 9.06%, 6.33% and 8%, of which Shandong region developed more rapidly. Main reasons: Shandong LNG vehicle market has developed rapidly. As of October 2016, the number of LNG vehicles in Shandong has reached 22,000, accounting for 10.27%, ranking first in the country. Relying on the development of Shandong logistics and transportation industry, the downstream vehicle demand is large, and the growth rate of LNG filling stations in the province has maintained a high growth. At present, the construction of LNG filling stations in Shandong Province is at the forefront of the domestic level in terms of policy formulation, industry norms, safety management and development speed, and the overall consumption of LNG is also at the forefront of the country, which has laid a good foundation for the development of LNG filling stations.
