Natural gas had a little bit of momentum in the USA during the 00's before dying to a niche in the medium and heavy duty truck segment. It can make financial sense in the right application.

The initial boom died when a lot of electricity generation in the USA shifted to natural gas and prices went up.

If I'm not mistaken a lot of propane and natural gas vehicles is South America are aftermarket conversions. We used to have some small companies do them in the USA but that dried up when EPA and CARB started cracking down on them.
