Natural Gas Vehicle Availability

There are limited light- and heavy-duty natural gas vehicles (NGVs) available from original equipment manufacturers. However, qualified system retrofitters can also reliably convert many light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles for natural gas operation.

Light-Duty Vehicles

Only two light-duty dedicated natural gas vehicles are available directly from major original equipment manufacturers: the Honda Civic GX sedan and the natural gas Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana. The natural gas Civic has the cleanest EPA air pollution rating of any internal combustion vehicle.

• Use the Light-Duty Vehicle Search tool to see natural gas vehicles available. For more light-duty NGV options, see NGVAmerica's Guide to Available Natural Gas Vehicles and Engines.
• Use the Vehicle Cost Calculator tool to understand costs associated with buying and fueling vehicles.
• Go to the U.S. Department of Energy/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Fuel Economy Guide to compare these vehicles with others for environmental impact and petroleum savings.

Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Natural gas engines can be used in a variety of heavy-duty vehicles for various applications, such as transit buses, school buses, and refuse trucks.

• Use the Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Search tool to see available natural gas vehicles and engines.
• For more information about which vehicles feature natural gas engines, contact the engine manufacturers using NGVAmerica's Guide to Available Natural Gas Vehicles and Engines. Alternatively, contact heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers to learn about the natural gas vehicles they offer.
