  • Long & Short Haul (HD)

  • Refuse

  • Transit

  • Municipal/Shuttle

  • Urban Delivery

  • Utility

Benefits

Today’s market for medium- and heavy-duty NGVs is robust and diverse with natural gas vehicles – and fuel – providing growing emissions benefits.

  • Fuel Cost Savings

  • Reduced Maintenance

  • Reduced Emissions

  • Quiet Operation

  • Cleaner Working Environment

Challenges

High capital costs for both vehicles and infrastructure, combined with fueling that is not yet widespread or fast enough means natural gas is not the solution for all fleets today.

  • Limited Public Infrastructure

  • Higher Vehicle Capital Cost

  • Reduced Range

  • Torque/Acceleration Limitations

  • Reduced Cargo Space

There is no denying the economic benefit of CNG for our fleet. We have lower maintenance costs and we hit our ROI a year ahead of projections. — Akron Metro
