One of the most important elements that determine the competitiveness of the system is the market for natural gas fuel.

The article describes the state and prospects of road transport development in the Ural region related to the transition to natural gas. The advantages of natural gas from the perspective of motor fuel in the context of the economic component of regional development are evaluated. The measures necessary to create conditions for the development of gas-engine infrastructure for the mass use of natural gas vehicles are determined.
