Many Businesses Looking At Alternative Fuel For Vehicles, Says Survey PDF Print E-mail

KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Almost half of the business owners who were respondents to a survey conducted by Grant Thornton in Malaysia were found to have introduced or considering introducing alternative fuel for their vehicles due to rising oil price.

Nevertheless, the business owners also expressed reasons such as the difficulty of charging or refuelling the vehicles, cost and lack of choice for not changing their existing vehicles into alternative fuel vehicles.

In a statement Wednesday, Grant Thornton, an independent assurance, tax and advisory firm, said the price of Brent Crude oil was still well above US$100 per barrel.

"With the United States and the European Union pressing ahead with sanctions against Iran, the world fourth largest oil producer, it seems unlikely that prices at the pumps will ease significantly in the near future," SJ Grant Thornton Managing Partner Datuk N K Jasani said.
