Cost of ownership

Higher mileage, high fuel consumption vehicles are a strong fit for natural gas and provide a fast payback on investment.

RNG and the future of emissions standards in the U.S.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced plans to reconsider and potentially roll back several current emissions regulations, including the Phase 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles and the 2022 Heavy-Duty Nitrous Oxide (NOx) rule.

While the specific changes to the rules are forthcoming, EPA has indicated it will embrace alternative, renewable energy sources. Particularly when it comes to meeting NOx requirements, the price of diesel trucks is expected to increase due to additional technological advancements and components necessary to meet emission standards.

For heavy-duty trucking fleets, the regulatory revisions/reforms will provide fleets flexibility to choose the energy source that best suits each application, while also achieving emission-reduction targets.

The cumulative effect of this changing landscape makes RNG the best choice for fleet owners to retain power and reliability, while also reducing operational costs, lowering emissions and ensuring compliance with future environmental regulations.
