Can Buses Be Any More Sustainable?

Buses 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

Our 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. While we certainly do like cash flow, there is more to business than just money here at Green Alternative Systems (GAS). At Green Alternative Systems we truly believe that alternative fuels are the future of both private and commercial transportation and we've set out to be the nation's leading alternative fuel program installer to help make it happen!

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.  

Considering CNG vehicles for sale? Green Alternative Systems discusses fueling stations for alternative fuel vehicles & the demand for CNG vehicles. Call us today! 

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.

Celebrate Earth Day with The Benefits of Alternative Fuel Fleets

Earth Day is a holiday we have set aside specifically to consider the Earth, the environment and our relationship to it, and other global-level sustainability issues. At a corporate level, one of the best uses of Earth Day might be to consider investment in alternative fuel fleets.  

Whether you're interested in upgrading existing vehicles to use alt-fuel engines or considering purchasng new natural gas or propane-based vehicles, you could be doing a lot to help the planet with the investment.

Plus - you'd also enjoy lower fuel prices, easier maintenance, better mileage, and all the other benefits of alternative fuels!

Three Ways Alternative Fuel Fleets Are Better for The Planet

1. Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Burning fossil fuels are responsible for roughly 3/4 of the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, contributing to global climate change and numerous resulting ecological problems.  While it's true that natural gas and propane are derived from fossil fuels, both are vastly cleaner-burning than gasoline as well as releasing far fewer vaporous emissions during fuel-up.
