CNG & Alternative Fuels

CNG (compressed Natural Gas) is emerging as one of the leading fuel sources for America’s current trucking and transportation industries. Consumer interest and increased vehicle production from most major trucking and automotive manufacturers are creating the demand to build new infrastructure and fueling stations on local, regional and national levels. Betts and its affiliates provide a full turn-key service to public and private markets. Our experienced staff holds the knowledge and skills to supply a wide array of Compressed Natural Gas and Alternative Fuel services while providing cost effective solutions to our clients.

Benefits of CNG

Environmentally Clean

Compressed natural gas is the cleanest burning fuel operating today.
CNG vehicles produce the fewest emissions of all vehicle fuel types.
Natural gas vehicles give off little or no emissions during fueling.

Cost Advantages

Environmentally Clean

Natural gas is less expensive per equivalent gallon than gasoline and diesel. On average, natural gas is up to 50% cheaper than most fuels.

Safety Advantages

Performance & Maintenance Advantages

The fuel storage tanks on NGV's are thicker than on gasoline or diesel vehicles.
NGVs are safer than those powered by other fuels. An American Gas Association (AGA) survey of more than 8,000 vehicles found that with more than 278 million miles traveled, NGV injury rates per vehicle mile traveled were 34% lower than the rate for most vehicles.

Performance & Maintenance Advantages

Natural gas gives roughly the same mileage as gasoline and diesel.
CNG running engines are superior in performance to gasoline engines because CNG has an octane rating of 130.
Because CNG is already in a gaseous state, Natural gas vehicles (NGV) have superior starting and drivability, even under severe hot and cold weather conditions.
NGVs experience less knocking and no vapor locking.
Using CNG Reduces standard vehicle wear-and-tear and extends periods between oil changes.
