National NGV Fleet Summit

AGENDA

The National NGV Fleet Summit offered an intensive day of sessions featuring high level representatives from some of the nation's top fleets talking about their experience using natural gas in their own fleets. They reviewed the good, the bad and the ugly; their motivations for choosing natural gas; the grants and incentives they have been able to leverage; and other key issues. This kind of peer to peer exchange proved an valuable way for real information about natural gas trucks to make it directly to decision makers and stakeholders.
