About the Natural Gas Vehicle Knowledge Base

As at the end of 2012, there were more than 16.7 million Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) operating worldwide. Natural gas can be used in all classes of vehicles – motorcycles, cars, vans, light and heavy duty trucks, buses, lift trucks, locomotives. Marine applications are increasing with applications such as tug boats, ferries, barges and ships using CNG and LNG. Natural gas powered aircraft are also being trialled.

This site is provided by NGV Global as a resource to those interested in NGVs. We'll be adding content regularly but if there is any information you cannot find here or if you have any suggestions, please let us know via the Contact page.
