Running a CNG fleet comes with no shortage of operational demands, and training in-house fuel system inspectors can feel like an added burden. In some cases, the issue may not be financial. Workforce shortages can make it difficult for some fleets to find qualified technicians with experience in alternative fuels, let alone meet all industry codes and standards.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles are engineered with high-pressure fuel systems that must meet the appropriate industry codes and standards. Their level of complexity requires vehicle manufacturers and fleets to inspect these systems for quality control and safety.
Across the country, fleets are looking for ways to reduce expenses and modernize their operations. Government grants for natural gas vehicle projects have been an important tool in making that possible. These funding opportunities can cover substantial portions of the cost for purchasing natural gas vehicles, and, in some cases, even cover the building of CNG fueling stations to support them.
While hydrogen is gaining momentum as a clean energy source, many people in the transportation sector may not realize that natural gas is currently the largest source of its production. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and its recently released Annual Energy Outlook 2025 (AEO2025), steam methane reforming (SMR) using natural gas is projected to supply over 80% of the U.S. hydrogen market through 2050!
