1 9 Benefits Of CNG Fleet Conversion courtesy of

2 Fuel Benefits Companies across industry sectors are seeing the benefits of converting vehicles to run on natural gas. Neapolitan Express Pizza in New York City made headlines by converting its pizza truck to run on natural gas. The portable restaurant added the bonus of a CNG-powered genset to run all its kitchen equipment and air conditioning. Additionally, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) announced an initiative last year to convert its fleet of more than 450 buses (31 and 40- foot) to run on natural gas. This past February, their first 40-footer began its daily route. Major corporations, mass transit systems, shuttle fleets, food and beverage trucks, street sweepers and numerous other industries are converting to natural gas because of the cost benefits and the green credentials. Why are these businesses seeing the wisdom of CNG fleet conversion? One reason is that using natural gas is better for the environment, but are there benefits beyond being green? Here we ll explore nine benefits of CNG conversion.

3 Contents Better Performance Fuel Cost Savings More Efficiency Fewer Emissions Growing Availability Local Supply Government Incentives Experienced Technicians Happier Customers

4 1 Better Performance Drivers report natural gas fueled vehicles to be comparable to the power and acceleration of a gasoline or diesel vehicle. The overall drivability of a CNG vehicle is considered superior, especially in extreme temperatures. Additionally, metal does not react with natural gas the way gasoline does. So, all metal components of a vehicle, including mufflers and pipes, will last longer when a vehicle runs with CNG. 2 Fuel Cost Savings Fuel efficiency is based on many variables, however, on average CNG fleets save 15 to 50 percent per equivalent gallon over gasoline. How much could you save on your bus fleet? Green Alternative Systems has an online calculator that evaluates the individual variables within your company, as well as federal and local incentives. Click here to view our CNG savings calculator.

5 3 4 More Efficiency The savings doesn t stop at the fuel pump. Owners of CNG run vehicles report that the clean-burning properties of natural gas can reduce maintenance costs by as much as 40 percent. CNG does not degrade in the same way that gasoline does, causing your engine to run cleaner. Fewer Emmissions Converting to CNG will cut gas emissions by 20 percent and nitrogen oxide by over 80 percent. This results in less overall greenhouse gases ensuring a less polluted environment while also running your vehicle at top performance.

6 5 Growing Availability For those companies that do not have the resources to build their own station, there are currently more than 500 CNG fueling stations across the US in metropolitan and rural areas. As natural gas becomes more common in the States, even more fueling stations will be available. If there are a limited amount of CNG stations available, keep an eye out for planned stations in your area. Click here to find your nearest station! 6 Local Supply Up to 90% of the CNG sourced is gathered right here in the United States. This ensures control over our natural resources as well as foregoing dependence on foreign oil. With new technologies available, the natural source will be available for a long time.

7 7 Government Incentives A variety of tax credits are available for individuals and fleets alike. Depending on the amount of credits, a company may be able to receive the credit for years after the initial installation. Be sure to apply on-time for these incentives as they are often limited to a select group of individuals and businesses. 8 Experienced Technicians We pride ourselves on providing top quality conversions from trained and experienced technicians. Attending and staying current on the latest technologies and conversion standards is a top priority for us.

8 9 Happier Customers Companies saving money on fuel are able to pass those savings along to their customers. This really makes a difference with large transporters, as they are able to offer services and products cheaper than their competitors. Similarly, food trucks and other small business product providers are able to sell for less. Lower fuel costs could give your company the competitive edge by being able to offer customers the same products and services as competitors for less money.

9 There are certainly many benefits to converting a fleet or vehicle to CNG. Short and long term benefits regarding pricing and maintenance are two big things to consider.
