Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are particularly suited for commercial or industrial fleets. Fleets generally operate a number of vehicles that are centrally maintained and fueled. They also travel more miles daily than the average personal use vehicle and therefore can take better advantage of the lower price per gallon of natural gas. Among the fleets where use of NGVs is already growing are:
- Refuse haulers
- Taxi cabs
- Over-the-road trucks
- Transit buses
- Ice resurfacers
- Street sweepers
- School buses
- Delivery vehicles
- Airport shuttles
See a comprehensive list of available natural gas fueled commercial vehicles.
Natural Gas Pricing
In 2008 Peoples Gas established a natural gas vehicle-only rate which was approved by the Florida Public Service Commission for commercial applications. In a Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (GGE), this NGV rate is approximately $1.46.
