The main goal of the competition “Napęd Nowej Ery”, is to promote the best LPG industry practices. The Organizers, ORLEN GAZ and e-petrol, wanted to completely break the stereotype of LP Gas, as a cheap and poor quality fuel and feel that these awards go a long way to achieving a significant shift in perceptions.

Marcin Zawisza - President of the Management Board ORLEN GAZ We hope that such an exciting initiative will stimulate innovations in the Polish LPG market. It is also important to notice, that all categories of the competition are interdependent. Because even the highest quality of LPG or the best possible LPG installation will not convince people to buy LPG cars if the quality of services at the filling stations want be the highest possible. – said during the gala President of the Management Board of ORLEN GAZ, Marcin Zawisza.   The partners of the first edition of the competition were the World LP Gas Association, POGP (Polish LPG Association), PIPP (Polish Chamber of Liquid Fuels), PIMOT (Polish Automotive Industry Institute), gazeo.pl, Auto Świat and moto.pl.  For more information on the Awards visit www.napednowejery.pl.
