Up to 40% savings compared to diesel
Unlike oil, natural gas prices fluctuate very little. In fact, since they’ve been competitive and stable for almost 15 years now, you can benefit from significant savings and more predictable operating costs.

A variety of economic benefits
- Natural gas for vehicles is exempt from taxes on transportation fuels, a great government initiative to encourage carriers to switch to a green and cost-effective alternative.
- Thanks to the federal Clean Fuels Regulations (PCR), refuelling station operators who offer natural gas can earn credits that can be monetized and shared with the vehicle owner.
- When you fill up your tank, you pay exactly the price charged by our suppliers. Énergir makes no profit on it.
- Maintenance costs for natural gas trucks are similar to those for diesel trucks.

"The first criterion for adoption is financial. Fuel is one of the biggest expenses for a carrier."
