Natural Gas Vehicles – Good for the environment and your business

Natural gas is the cleanest-burning alternative fuel. Cars, vans, trucks and buses, and other on-road vehicles using traditional fuels produce more than 60 percent of all carbon monoxide (CO) pollution. They also are the second largest national source of hydrocarbons (HCs) at 29-percent, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) at 31 percent -- the major ingredients of unhealthy ground-level ozone. In many urban areas, motor vehicles are the single largest source of major criteria pollutants. Motor vehicles also emit more than 50 percent of all hazardous air pollutants.
Compared with gasoline-powered vehicles, dedicated NGVs can reduce exhaust emissions of CO by approximately 70 percent, non-methane organic gas (NMOG) by 89 percent and NOx by 87 percent. Dedicated NGVs also can reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) -- the principle "greenhouse" gas -- exhaust emissions by 20 - 30 percent.
Using natural gas can save your fleet money on fueling and routine maintenance. Natural gas is not subject to Connecticut fuel use tax. It burns cleaner than gasoline so engine oil stays cleaner longer.
Yankee Gas can bring fueling to your fleet's home. We sell, install and service the complete line of FuelMaker natural gas refueling appliances. These are small, low-cost natural gas compressors which can be designed to meet nearly any fleet NGV application. The units are modular and flexible.

NGVs are ideal for fleet operators – especially commercial fleet vehicles like transit buses, taxis, airport shuttles and refuse haulers.
There are 30 compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations in New England. NGVs also can be fueled from a small dispenser directly connected to a home or business natural gas line.
