High-Quality Green Alternative Fuel at Green Alternative Systems
More and more, bus and van fleets are going green. The most common reason is to reduce costs by purchasing cheaper fuel or getting more miles to the gallon for each vehicle. However, companies also have ethical concerns about polluting the environment, keeping their cargo, passengers, and employees safe. There is pressure to go green, not only to save but to do a small part for environmental factors. More vehicles are going to high-quality green alternative fuels and moving off of traditional gas engines.
CNGThe main clean fuel powering buses and vans is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). These two fuels have their pluses and minuses. In general, CNG is much safer in the event of a spill and will not create as many hazards for the environment.
Some owners are concerned they will not find a fueling station easily. However, there are now more than 500 CNG stations around the country, especially on the highways. With the rise of vehicles moving to green fuel these numbers will be increasing in number all the time.
Countless Ford, Ｇ Ｍ and Chrysler vehicles can even be converted into CNG engines. Green Alternative Systems is busier than ever before converting both fleets and transit buses.
Long-Term Saving
While there is some upfront expense, the savings in fuel costs over time pay for themselves. In particular, fuel costs are generally 15% to 50% less than gasoline. In addition, there is a 50% investment tax credit for purchasing a van or bus with a CNG engine. The deductions alone should give you reason to consider converting to green fuel. These vehicles have much lower maintenance demands because CNG does not corrode the vehicle the same way that gasoline does. Some companies report up to 50% less cost in their maintenance with CNG. It is a much better bargain to convert to clean vehicles.
