Diesel will continue to be the leading fuel for commercial vehicles over at least the next 20 years, but natural gas vehicles (NGV) will see their market share grow, according to a multi-client study by consultant IHS Markit.

To encourage the use of more natural gas vehicle (NGV) fleets, Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is offering a year of $1/gallon renewable natural gas (RNG) for trucks using some Cummins Westport (CWI) engines.

Increasing the use of natural gas vehicles (NGV) could be best accomplished by using the federal trust funds established in the wake of the Volkswagen (VW) settlement, in which the automaker was directed to pay for state efforts to lower vehicle emissions, the American Gas Association (AGA) said Tuesday.

Phoenix-based Republic Services Inc. is expanding an existing agreement giving the refuse hauling company increased volumes of renewable natural gas (RNG).

At the center of a five-year, multi-state push for more natural gas vehicle (NGV) use, Oklahoma has passed a milestone in putting together a network of fueling stations along its interstate highways, drawing praise Tuesday from Washington, DC-based trade group NGVAmerica.
