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.

  2. Prices are stabilizing. Natural gas is becoming steadily more affordable in the US, in more areas of the country, with less month-to-month price fluctuation.

  3. Serious fuel savings. While prices may still vary, on average, compressed natural gas (CNG) currently costs $1.50-$2 less per equivalent gallon than traditional gasoline when factoring in increased per-gallon mileage.
