Vehicles and engine types

Maintenance: no more expensive than for diesel engines

There are cost savings associated with maintaining a natural gas truck:

  • No particulate filter (DPF) emission control system is required —a simple passive catalyst is used.
  • Natural gas doesn't require the use of urea (DEF).

With these cost savings, the total planned maintenance costs are equivalent to those for a diesel truck, even with the 3 year safety inspection requirement for a natural gas truck.

Add to that, a fuel economy of up to 40%, and your total operating costs will be greatly reduced.
