Natural gas can be used in all classes of vehicles - motorcycles, cars, vans, trucks, buses, lift trucks, locomotives, even ships and ferries. Natural gas can be used either by converting an existing gasoline or diesel engine, or by using a purpose built natural gas engine.

Benefits of natural gas vehicles include:

• Reduced particulate and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) emissions
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
• Widespread availability of natural gas
• Lower cost
• Can be derived from renewable sources (biogas)
• Technically proven
• Available now
• Can be used in all vehicle classes
• Minimal processing or refining requirements
• Safer than most liquid fuels
• Can be refueled at home or workplace
• Noise reductions of as much as 50%
• Reduced engine wear
• and more...

With these benefits, its easy to see why natural gas vehicle (NGV) numbers have more than doubled in the last 5 years alone. There are almost 5 million NGVs worldwide and the International Association for Natural Gas Vehicles (IANGV) is projecting that this will increase at least ten-fold, to 50 million vehicles by 2020.
