NGVs: The Road Forward or a Dead End?
March 26-27, 2008
Doubletree Hotel Anaheim/Orange County

   

About the Forum

This comprehensive, two-day forum provided the information and product tools that fleets and decision-makers need to fully understand and incorporate natural gas into their fleets. Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) have been a popular alternative fuel vehicle fleet choice for nearly two decades because of their operating cost advantages and their significant emissions benefits. Industry leaders, vehicle and engine manufacturers, government policy experts and other presenters addressed the following questions.

  • Do NGVs still make sense?
  • Are vehicles available for purchase from traditional OEMs?
  • How can you integrate the new, high-tech conversion systems into your fleet?
  • What’s the real story on NGV emissions?
  • What incentives are available to help purchase vehicles?
  • What are the natural gas options for heavy-duty fleets?
  • Where is retail compressed natural gas fueling infrastructure growing?
  • When should you consider your own natural gas fueling station?
  • Does liquefied natural gas (LNG) make sense for your fleet?
  • What’s happening in California that will set a precedent for the rest of the country?
