CNG has become increasingly popular because fracking reduced the cost of natural gas and CNG trucks do not require diesel particulate filters or urea injection to meet emission standards.


The equipment required to meet emission standards are moving customers away from diesels. Not just for light duty vehicles but also in the medium duty class. There has also been a recent increase in gasoline school buses.
