Vehicles

The U.S. currently has about 250,000 natural gas vehicles (NGVs) on the road today, according to GE – less than 0.1% of total U.S. vehicles – mostly owned by fleets. The heavy- and medium-duty market segments have seen the most use with city transit buses, refuse trucks and delivery vans. Compressed natural gas (CNG) has been used widely for personal transportation within the light-duty segment in highly developed nations for many years. In fact, natural gas-rich countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and Iran already have more than 1 million NGVs each, and even gas importer Italy exceeds 700,000.

Honda Civic Natural Gas

Sold to fleets and individuals throughout the U.S. since 1998, Honda’s natural gas-powered Civic Natural Gas is built in the company’s Civic factory in Greensburg, Indiana. Both fleet and retail customers appreciate the fact that it relies on North American supplies of natural gas, not imported oil, for fuel. Not to mention, natural gas is more economical than gasoline and produces cleaner exhaust when driven in any city. Customers can also fill their tanks to suit their needs by utilizing public refueling infrastructure or residential refueling devices. Honda’s Civic Natural Gas is now available at Honda dealerships in 38 states.
