Summer is travel season and you maybe wondering why people are choosing green alternative fuel? While everyone is generally excited by the prospective  trips and vacations, many people worry about the costs associated with transportation. Additionally, carbon emissions, like those resulting from vehicle exhausts, are placing a burden on the environment. Alternative fuel vehicles are one solution being offered to address these concerns. They are easier on the environment than traditional fuels.

Cleaner Emissions

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, alternative fuels like propane, natural gas, and electricity all have far fewer emissions than gasoline and diesel. Not only is this better for the environment, but it is better for public health too. Check out our zero emissions school bus if you want to see what impact your emissions could have.

Energy Independence

Alternative energy vehicles can help the nation to become more energy independent. The idea behind this concept is spreading our energy needs among more than one fuel source, thus making us less dependent on other countries to help us meet our energy demands. This also means that prices are independent for gas fluctuations and other market trends.

Can Buses Be Any More Sustainable?

gas+pump+hand+02122013.jpgBuses are the go-to public transportation for city planners and individuals looking for a way to save money and decrease their carbon footprint. It’s easy to forget the ways in which buses help us decrease the amount of greenhouse gases that we produce. However, buses that take sustainability one step further rely on alternative fuel resources and this will be an increasingly important topic in the coming generations. While many people know about the development and research of green alternative tools, few know that the methods of bus design and fuel refinement are changing.

Green Alternative Systems Technologies

GAS.gifOur buses showcase some of the latest in sustainable technologies. CNG eco models produce significantly less greenhouse gas emissions in addition to reducing fuel costs by up to 50%. Hydrogen models, popularized in Iceland, create zero emissions and are used by many municipalities now. Propane is also less emission intensive and can be used in a wide variety of vehicles. It’s perfect for investors who are looking to transition into more sustainable transportation.

The Green Alternative Systems (GAS) Difference - What That Means to Us

There are plenty of businesses out there that only exist to make money. After all, the main reason to go into business is to many money.

Alternative fuels aren't simply a fad product.It is well-known that the world's supply of crude oil and gasoline is getting burned up every day and once the oil is gone, it will be gone for good.  However, there are many uses for petroleum throughout our society which will need to be considered as crude oil supplies dwindle. The need for plastic products will begin becoming an ever-greater concern given their absolute ubiquity in every part of modernized life.

Locating a Place to Fill Your Alternative-Fuel and CNG Vehicles

While it's true that in most respects propane and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles are superior to those running gasoline, there is still one major area which can cause issues for those looking to invest in alternative fuels:  Fueling stations.

Propane and CNG vehicles for sale still face a challenge when it comes to getting a fill-up.  Since gasoline has ruled the road in the US for so long, there are comparatively fewer gas stations which support propae or natural gas.  This can be something of a deterrent to those considering CNG vehicles for sale and understandably so.

Nonetheless, the situation is getting better!  And as more and more companies continue to invest in alternative fuel fleets, there will be that much more market pressure on filling stations to provide options besides gasoline and diesel.

Top Ten Reasons to Consider CNG Fuel Vehicles In 2017

Posted by Shayna Johnson on Mar 14, 2017 2:20:00 PM

Top Ten Reasons to Consider CNG Fuel Vehicles In 2017
Will 2017 be the year of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles?  It seems increasingly likely.  The list of reasons to invest in CNG fuel vehicles is growing every day, and the downsides are becoming ever-fewer. Here are some of the Benefits of Choosing CNG Fuel Vehicles:

  1. Low gasoline prices won't last forever.  The currently-low prices are mostly due to geo-politics, not supply increases.  When OPEC and other oil-producing nations tire of their trade war, prices could go up rapidly.
  2. CNG is more readily available.  Compressed Natural Gas is spread fairly evenly around the world and generally requires less effort to obtain than crude oil.  Low prices on CNG will likely remain stable.
  3. Pure price savings.  Depending on local prices, CNG is up to 50% less expensive than gasoline on a per-mile basis.  These savings can be extended by buying in bulk and installing your own fueling station.
  4. Easy-pass emissions standards.  Since CNG is far less polluting than gasoline, CNG fuel vehicles pass even the strictest of local environmental regulations with ease. Fueling stations are becoming more common.  Previously one of the biggest arguments against CNG was lack of fueling stations, but there are now hundreds of CNG fuel stations across the US with more being installed every month.
