Advantages

NGV’s can provide significant savings and environmental benefits

Natural gas is today’s clean, efficient and abundant fuel source.  Used to heat your home or business, provide hot water, cook your meals or dry your clothes, this same natural gas is also used to fuel certain vehicles.  Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are improving air quality and reducing the nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

According to NGVAmerica, a national organization dedicated to the development and promotion of natural gas and hydrogen as transportation fuels, there are over 120,000 NGVs on U.S. roads today and over 8.7 million across the world.

  • Over 50 different manufacturers produce 150 models of light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles and engines.
  • An equivalent gallon of compressed natural gas (CNG) provides the same miles per gallon as a gallon of gasoline. 
  • Natural gas costs, on average, one-third less than conventional gasoline at the pump.

NGVs can provide unique opportunities and benefits that make it an excellent consideration for your fleet or business.  Natural gas has many advantages when used as a transportation fuel:

  • 100% domestic fuel
  • 100 year supply at current production levels
  • Cleaner tailpipe emissions than gasoline or diesel engines
  • Dissipates into the atmosphere in the event of an accident
  • Federal incentives are available
  • Many vehicles are capable of running on natural gas
