Onboard Dynamics
Those who have worked in the alternative transportation fuels industry over the years have more than once seen their hopes for wider adoption of cleaner fuels be dashed whenever the price of conventional, dirtier fuels decreased. We have experienced another one of those challenging phases during the past few years. These swings in our industry are frustrating because we all know that cleaner fuels are available and have proven performance. The costs often just do not pencil out for businesses and government agencies who are working with ever-increasing tighter budgets. This reality is especially frustrating for managers of return-to-base fleet vehicles. These managers know that many operators with similar fleets are benefitting from using natural gas vehicles (NGVs) with on-site refueling.
