Who Uses Them?

While increasing numbers of environmentally-sensitive consumers are purchasing NGVs, the largest market for these types of vehicles are fleets wanting to reduce fuel costs and lower emissions. In fact, 40% of buses on order are natural gas vehicles. You’ll also find NGVs among many other types of fleets, including taxi fleets, courier and delivery fleets, government and police fleets, community fleets, and trades and commercial fleets.
To find out if an NGV is right for your business, ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Is most of my driving done within a certain urban area?
  2. Is my business interested in saving on fuel and maintenance costs?
  3. Is my business concerned about air pollution?
  4. If feasible, would I prefer to drive a clean transportation alternative?
  5. Does my fleet include vans, pick-ups or large passenger cars?
  6. Could I or my business save time by having unrestricted access to the car pool (HOV) lane in California and Arizona?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, natural gas vehicles may be a viable option for your business.
