MADEGASCAR (Market development for gas driven cars) has been a project operating from September 2007 to February 2010, funded by the IEE programme of the European Commission. The project aimed at developing the market for gas driven vehicles – natural gas and biomethane fuelled vehicles – with the overall goal to increase the number of energy efficient and alternative fuelled vehicles in European countries.

The project will addressed existing barriers by creating more acceptance on the consumer side, educating fleet owners as well as car dealers, incentive programmes and by awareness raising and information activities. On the other side activities for a better supply infrastructure (fuel stations) and market structure, including the integration of biogas, have been carried out.

The main target groups for the project were: fleet managers of companies and public organisations, private car owners, suppliers of fuel, car dealers and manufacturers and decision makers.
