All these indications must have its reasons and leads to the research question: Why is CNG not sucessful in Austria? One hypothesis, which will be analyzed within this research, is that CNG cars are not profitable compared to its main competitors gasoline and diesel. In order to measure the profitablily of CNG cars, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of the investment will be calculated and compared to the project's cost of capital. However, calculations show that under certain circumstances CNG is profitable and under different criteria it is not. Consequently, it could be said that in some cases CNG is not successful in Austria because there is a lack of profitability. Nevertheless, there must definitely be some other reasons, too.
