Natural Gas Vehicle Basics

Research output: NRELFact Sheet

Abstract

Natural gas powers about 175,000 U.S. vehicles and more than 23 million vehicles worldwide [1]. Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are a good choice for high-mileage (high fuel-use) fleets - such as buses, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, and refuse vehicles - that are centrally fueled or operate within a limited area or along a route with natural gas fueling stations. The advantages of natural gas as an alternative fuel include its domestic production, established distribution network, relatively low cost, and emissions benefits.
