A story at NGT News refers to a report from Pike Research on the increasing popularity of electric buses. "Bus operators are interested in electric drive options because they offer environmental and energy security benefits, quieter operation, as well as fuel savings." But they cost more than diesel or CNG buses. China is the biggest market for electric buses now, and that's expected to continue in the near term.
In the meantime CNG/LNG is here and platforms from Light Duty to Medium Duty to Heavy Duty are available - the infrastructure is here....in the Coachella Valley. We have public fueling Stations in Desert Hot Springs, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Thousand Palms, Palm Desert and Indio. LNG is publically available in North Palm Springs and will soon be dispensing in Thousand Palms at the Flying A Truck Stop. For more station location go to the Clean Cities Website - Alternative Fuels Data Center to locate a CNG/LNG Public Fueling Station near you. They are there now!
