1. Advantages And Scope Of Natural Gas Vehicles
Today there are many vehicles that run on compressed natural gas with CNG tanks located underneath
the body in the rear. Having a natural gas vehicle (NGV) is a smart alternative as fuel vehicle that uses
compressed natural gas (CNG) acts as a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels. There are many
vehicles, buses, cars and trucks that run on CNG and chances of converting from existing gasoline-
powered vehicles are increasing.
Natural Gas Vehicles filling stations are built in areas having natural gas lines and Compressors (CNG)
is usually built on large scale. With great opportunities offered by multinational companies there is
enhanced scope for fuel storage, infrastructure availability for delivery and distribution of fueling stations
and more. It is essential that CNG is stored in high pressure cylinders and these cylinders take up more
space.
CNG as a vehicle fuel is highly cost effective as rising fuel prices and environmental concerns prompt
people to use CNG which is visibly used in tuk-tuks and pickup trucks, transit and school buses, and
trains. The compressed natural gas does not contain any lead, thus eliminating fouling of spark plugs.
With low maintenance and safe consumption CNG-powered vehicles are a preferred alternative.
Natural Gas fleet reduces maintenance cost of your vehicle and provides less greenhouse gasses and
more efficacies. It has the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the entire fuel lifecycle and
therefore natural gas vehicles are considered to be safer than gasoline-powered vehicles. With large
number of vehicles running in natural gas it is necessary that fueling stations are located within reach. It is
a great choice as a transportation fuel comprises of domestic availability, widespread distribution
infrastructure, low cost, and inherently clean-burning characteristics.
There are three types of natural gas vehicles including:
 Dedicated: These vehicles are manufactured to operate on natural gas.
 Bi-fuel: These vehicles have the option of two separate fueling systems that enable the user to
run on either natural gas or gasoline.
 Dual-fuel: These vehicles are specifically made for heavy-duty applications and they have fuel
systems that run on natural gas, and use diesel fuel for ignition support.
For cars and other light-duty vehicles operating on dedicated or bi-fuel modes is an easier option. While
for heavy-duty vehicles it is necessary to operate in dedicated or dual-fuel modes. Headquartered at
Greater Houston Area the Greater Houston Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Alliance is a non-profit corporation
formed to raise awareness of natural gas vehicles to both policy makers and the general public.
