CNG Makes Fresh Inroads Into Passenger Cars

摘要

With the departure of the Honda Civic Natural Gas earlier this year (NGW Jul.13'15), the rise of electric vehicles and a race toward fuel cells, the natural gas vehicle passenger market might seem a lost cause. However, compressed natural gas (CNG) has now found its way into a nearby market segment - pickup trucks, specifically the Ford F-150. CNG is also moving up the passenger car value chain, becoming a fuel choice for the trucks that carry car parts to assembly plants and those that carry the finished vehicles to dealerships.
