"Natural Gas"

Natural gas engines can be a great option for commercial vehicles. They’re quieter than diesel engines, they reduce air pollution, and they can help fleets save a lot of money on operating costs, especially when it comes to fuel. So why don’t more fleets switch to natural gas engines?   Compressed Natural Gas, or CNG engines are a great option for a wide range of fleets and commercial vehi

Natural gas has been taking an increasingly central role in our energy supply over the past decades. In developed countries, the use of other fossil resources has stagnated or declined. In 2020, oil consumption in Organized for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries is essentially what it was in 1995, and coal use has declined by almost half. In contrast, the consumption of natural

Compared to diesel and gasoline vehicles, natural gas engine vehicles pollute less, have a smaller carbon footprint, and use a fuel that doesn’t present any risk of soil or water contamination. Surely, these environmental benefits of natural gas engines must come at a cost premium, right? For many applications, the opposite is true. Switching to natural gas vehicles offers fleet operators long-

It can be difficult to grasp the role natural gas engines play when it comes to reducing transportation emissions and making the trucking industry more sustainable. Natural gas is a fossil fuel, just like diesel and gasoline, so there are some misconceptions about the environmental benefits it can provide, particularly when compared to emerging alternative powertrain options like hydrogen fuel cel

More than 8,600 people traveled to Long Beach, California to attend the recent Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, North America’s largest advanced transportation technology and clean fleet event. Major retailers were in attendance looking to decarbonize their fleets, gaining insight into the latest developments, policies, and technologies in clean transportation solutions.  This yea

When it comes to natural gas engines, there are a range of frequently asked questions about the cost, practicality, and feasibility of integrating natural gas into commercial fleets. There are certainly preparations that need to be considered, but the learning curve to implement natural gas engines is not as steep as people may think, especially in comparison to the benefits of natural gas in tran

From tractor trailers and transit buses to delivery trucks and terminal tractors, fleets have traditionally relied on diesel engines to provide the torque, reliability and durability needed by heavy-duty commercial applications. Natural gas engines, however, have emerged as a great alternative to diesel. Drivers, mechanics, and fleet managers appreciate natural gas engines for a variety of reasons

Commercial vehicle fleet managers face a dizzying array of options when it is time to replace or upgrade vehicles. One question that fleet managers often ask is whether there are any good fuel options available to their business besides diesel or gasoline. Alternative fuels, including natural gas, have grown in popularity in recent years due to their broad appeal. Considering a full or partial swi

Reducing air pollution generated by commercial vehicles is one of the many benefits of natural gas engines. Nested in a valley in the French Alps, the town of Chamonix is known for breathtaking vistas of Mont Blanc, for being the birthplace of modern mountaineering, and, unfortunately, for its terrible air quality. Emissions from passing vehicles are to blame. The town sits by a major road tunnel
