Saint Petersburg - 19 June 2025 PAO NOVATEK ("NOVATEK" and/or the "Company") and JSC National Carrier (NATCAR) signed a cooperation agreement at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum to develop the market for LNG as a motor fuel. NATCAR agreed to purchase 600 LNG-fuelled road trucks manufactured in Russia with the support of NOVATEK's corporate promotion program. The fleet will rely on the Company's network of LNG refuelling stations, which will cover the key federal highways of the European part of Russia as early as in 2026. "Active development of the market of natural gas as a motor fuel is part of our strategy," says Leonid Mikhelson, Chairman of NOVATEK's Management Board. "LNG is a sustainable and affordable fuel. Promoting its use in the transport sector helps us do our part in protecting the environment, advancing Russian technology, and making the transport industry more cost-efficient". PAO NOVATEK is one of the largest independent natural gas producers in Russia, and in 2017, entered the global LNG market by successfully launching the Yamal LNG project. Founded in 1994, the Company is engaged in the exploration, production, processing and marketing of natural gas and liquid hydrocarbons. Upstream activities of the Company's subsidiaries and joint ventures are concentrated mainly in the prolific Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region, which is the world's largest natural gas producing area and accounts for approximately 80% of Russia's natural gas production and approximately 15% of the world's gas production. NOVATEK is a public joint stock company established under the laws of the Russian Federation. PAO NOVATEK, press release
