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.

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.

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.
