CNG makes an excellent vehicle fuel for combustion engines as its high octane rating and low carbon content give a more complete combustions with fewer emissions and extends engine life.
There are a number of other benefits to using CNG as a vehicle fuel, such as:
- Cost effective alternative - cutting fuel costs by up to 40%
- 15% reduction in tail-pipe CO2 emissions for dual-fuel trucks
- Little or no emissions during fueling for dedicated CNG vehicles (this type of emission accounts for 50% of a vehicle's hydrocarbon emissions)
- Significant reductions in NOx and PM10s compared to petrol / diesel - often exceeding the Euro 5 emissions standard
CNG Services Ltd can offer assistance in relation to the procurement of CNG vehicles and have a database of all available CNG vehicles and their costs. CSL also offers support in:
- Cost comparisons between existing fleets and the natural gas vehicles available
- Carbon footprint comparison with existing fleets
- Air quality benefits compared to diesel
- Training in relation to natural gas vehicles
- Operational support and advice

CSL also owns and operates a CNG filling station in Crewe - see the Crewe page for more details on filling up your CNG vehicles.
