Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

By iutian Wines IVECO IS TO announce a preferred gas supplier in the next month as a precursor to the launch of its latestgeneration Daily CNG (which runs on compressed natural gas) later this year. The deal will mean that vehicle buyers will have to use the preferred fuel supplier for the length of the vehicle warranty.

Iveco has been letting the warranty run out on its previous-generation CNG model before it redoubles its efforts to establish the technology as a credible alternative fuel within the UK.

Martin Flach, Iveco UK product director, says: "We don't consider the current standard of gas generally available clean enough for optimum running efficiency of the Daily CNG, with the majority of the infrastructure Victorian in design and liable to contamination."

Flaeh believes CNG is currently the most practical alternative fuel available, striking a balance between performance and cost, with the technology expected to be taken up by the public sector and larger fleets.
