China National Petroleum Corp estimates that it will supply liquefied natural gas to about 200,000 vehicles by 2015, the company said on Tuesday.

By that time, the company's LNG output will be 11.5 billion cubic meters, it added.

China had more than 1.48 million natural gas-fueled vehicles as of 2011, according to Lu Jianzhong, vice-president of the CNPC Economics and Research Institute.

Nearly 100 cities are promoting LNG-fueled vehicles, with the highest percentage in Sichuan and Shandong provinces and in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
