Replacing diesel with natural gas can cut a vehicle’s greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent, and also cut the fleet owner’s fuel costs by as much as half, thanks to new supplies of the fuel from the Marcellus Shale. While the resource itself is abundant, though, compressed natural gas fueling stations remain relatively scarce.
