While at the end of 201, there were 2,300 gas-powered cars in Estonia, by now the number of 3,600. In the first nine months of this year, around 400 such cars have been added.

Although most likely, not all added gas devices have been registered in the Estonian Car Registry, the number of gas-powered cars among all cars in the registry is very small, less than 1%.

Most people who have made the switch say the only reason is lower price of gas than that of petrol or diesel fuel.

"The whole of Europe drives on gas and for some reason, Estonia and some Nordic states are the only places where gas hasn’t established itself. There is Lithuania's example, where 35% of cars with petrol engines drive on gas as well as Poland, where the percentage is even 50 and Italy, Germany, France – gas is used everywhere," said Alexela corporate clients sales manager Marek Miller.
