Compressed Natural Gas Buses Can Save Your Fleet Money

The rise in alternative fuel buses isn’t just assuring a cleaner and healthier planet, but it is helping the U.S. become energy independent. Today, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) comprises approximately 25 percent of US production. When it comes to alternative fuel solutions, Blue Bird has been leading the pack for decades. Take a look at the many advantages of upgrading your fleet of buses to CNG powered buses.

Compressed Natural Gas

The more we start to use natural gas to power our buses, the less dependent we become on foreign oil. In fact, only one percent of domestically used natural gas is imported from outside North America. Furthermore, as natural gas reservoirs fill, the prices begin to drop. That means that CNG powered buses are becoming more cost effective than diesel powered buses. In fact, CNG can cost up to 45% less per gallon than the cost of diesel. But, the benefits go beyond mere economics.

CNG produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions

The environmental benefits of using CNG are perhaps the biggest factors in choosing this type of vehicle. Compared to diesel, CNG can reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 23 percent. With the reduction in emissions, CNG buses are producing cleaner air for all of us, but also for the people that are being transported inside the bus.

Because natural gas has a low carbon emission, the time between oil changes increases, saving you money on maintenance and upkeep. However, both diesel and CNG buses are built with the same quality and expertise, ensuring that your CNG vehicle still gives you the same reliable high performance that you have come to expect from Blue Bird buses.

CNG buses are easy to refill

With the rise in natural gas production and usage, more and more CNG stations are opening up across the country. As the price of foreign oil increases, we’re seeing more and more alternative fuel stations pop up everywhere. This will make it easy for your school district or your commercial bus company to make the switch to CNG buses.
