Alternative Fuels Event for Fleets Coming to Massachusetts - Oct 7th Find a CNG Station Near You Alternative Fuel Price Report "Fleet managers who attend this year's AltWheels Fleet Day will gain valuable information on how they can improve the efficiency of their fleets, reducing costs and emissions at the same time," says Alison Sander, AltWheels' founder and chairman. The day consists of panels, exhibits, and vehicles offering a showcase of alternative transportation solutions - from concept vehicles, to vehicles that are available and affordable today.

2 180 CNG Buses for Houston The Clean Cities Alternative Fuel Price Report provides regional alternative and conventional fuel prices for biodiesel, compressed natural gas, ethanol, hydrogen, propane, gasoline, and diesel. New Flyer Industries reports an order for 265 buses by Houston Metro from its new subsidiary NABI Bus, and says that 180 of the 40-foot vehicles will be fueled by compressed natural gas, with the CNG deliveries to start in Gas-Prep Ford Transit Connect Taxi Central Pennsylvania CNG Developments Among Recipients of $13.5 Million in State Funding Ford emphasized availability of a gaseous-prep package for the 2.5-liter engine of the 2014 Transit Connect as it unveiled the vehicle as a "Taxi of the Future." Gaseous-prep means the vehicles can be readily converted, with full Ford sanction and approval, to compressed natural gas or propane autogas operation by Qualified Vehicle Modifiers. New Four-Door Natural Gas Vehicle Offering: The 2014 Cruze The state's Commonwealth Financing Authority has approved funding for publicly accessible compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling as well as school buildings and a waste-to-energy facility in and around the midstate as part of about $13.5 million in grants and loans. Buy a CNG Car and Get a State Tax Credit, Say Two Ohio Lawmakers Preparing Legislation

3 IMPCO Automotive says it has attained U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification of its bi-fuel compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system for the model-year 2014 Chevrolet Cruze - the first, and currently only, such certification. Report: Natural Gas Boom Should Last Decades State Representatives Sean J. O'Brien, a Democrat from Trumbull County, and David Hall, a Republican from Holmes County, are preparing legislation to give state tax credits to people and companies who buy or convert trucks and cars to burn both natural gas and gasoline. CNG Powering More AAA Service Trucks A new report outlines that the huge economic benefits from America's natural gas boom should last several decades, and Louisiana, already benefiting, could see tens of millions of dollars and thousands of new jobs by How The Florida Panhandle Is Becoming A Natural Gas Vehicle Mecca AAA Oklahoma is turning to compressed natural gas as the fuel of choice in more of the vehicles they use to service AAA members on the road. In the current issue of Home & Away, the auto club's bi-monthly magazine, AAA states that CNG now powers 34 percent of the road service vehicles in AAA Oklahoma's club-owned fleet, with more on the way. Municipal natural gas utility Pensacola Energy, the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) and a number of other fleets on the western-most edge of the Florida panhandle are making the move to convert their vehicles to compressed natural gas (CNG) power. A Natural Gas Superhighway? Maybe So? NGVi Showcases CNG Fueling Expertise at National Association of Convenience Stores Show

4 Two comprehensive CNG fueling station training programs offered by Natural Gas Vehicle Institute (NGVi) will be featured in Booth #4641 of the Petroleum Equipment and Services Area at the National Association of Convenience Stores Show (NACS Show). Held October in Atlanta, Georgia. Legislative Assembly of Ontario Member Robert Bailey introduced into the provincial parliament the Natural Gas Superhighway Act, which would enact measures designed to support the use of natural gas as a transportation fuel in the province. Central to Bailey's legislation - Bill 97 - is a tax-credit program whereby fleets can access incentives toward purchasing vehicles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). Central Freight Lines adds 100 CNG Freightliners Waco, Texas-based Central Freight Lines has added 100 compressed natural gas (CNG) tractors to its fleet of more than 1,600. Central is a less-than-truckload general commodities carriers. The 2014 Freightliner M2 112 CNG tractors are powered by the Cummins Westport ISL G natural gas engine.
