Activities were held to promote Qatar as the ´GTL Capital of the World¡. Thirty children from the Al Andalous primary boys school had the unique opportunity to visit two of the worldÿs leading Gas To Liquids (GTL) fuelled vehicles currently on display at the City Centre Mall. Qatar  Petroleum, and its partners Shell and Sasol Chevron, invited the school to the exhibit to learn about these unique vehicles, GTL fuel, and the leading role Qatar plays in this technology.
The display was held under the auspices of His Excellency Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Energy and Industry. The exhibit featured two unique GTL fuelled vehicles: the Oryx, a Toyota Land Cruiser, which participated in Sasol Chevronÿs GTL Challenge, an 11,000 km symbolic journey from South Africa to Qatar , and the Audi R10 TDI, which won the Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race in June 2006 using Shell V-Power diesel containing GTL fuel. |
