NGV Bologna 2012, the third NGVA Europe International Show & Workshops, was successfully held on June 19-21, 2012, in the city of Bologna, Italy.
The industry meeting lived up to the expectations and proved to be what it promised: the international NGV event of the year. Being supported by literally all NGV related industry segments it attracted 2.500 participants from over 40 countries and all five continents. Hosted by NGV System Italia, the Italian association of the NGV related industry, and organised by the NGV Communications Group, the gathering included exhibitions and workshops that featured presentations by high level speakers, such as Antonio Tricas-Aizpun from the European Commission (DG MOVE), who presented new EU actions to promote methane as fuel in vehicles.
