Quick Facts

Approximately 150,000 of the 8.7 million C N Gs vehicles worldwide are in the U.S., including aftermarket conversions.

The nation’s only light-duty, factory-produced CNG vehicle in production, the Honda Civic GX, has been on the market for 12 years. Though these vehicles are selling out faster than they are made and production is expanding, no other automakers are currently manufacturing CNG vehicles in the U.S.

Currently, about 12-15 percent of public transit buses in the U.S. run on natural gas (either CNG or LNG – liquefied natural gas). That number is growing, with nearly one in five buses on order today slated to run on natural gas.
