Fuels ...

The way your fleet operates is an important factor to consider when selecting the most appropriate alternative fuel to use.  Each of the available fuels has different strengths and limitations which can easily be matched to fleet needs.

  1. Assess your fleet's operational and refueling patterns.
  2. Assess your financial resources.
  3. Determine what local incentives exist for each fuel type in your area.
  4. Determine what vehicles are available to meet your needs.
