  3. Natural Gas is a Great Choice • Wide applicability (autos, trucks, buses, forklifts, etc.) • North American fuel supply • High well-to-wheel efficiency • Fuel cost < gasoline and diesel • Wide range of infrastructure possibilities • SULEV / ILEV / AT PZEV capable • Low carbon fuel • Proven performance, known costs • Renewable Natural Gas

  4. Natural Gas is a Low Carbon Fuel (North American Natural Gas)

  5. Renewable Biogas Super Ultra Low Carbon Fuel

  6. Light and Medium duty • Honda Civic Natural Gas • Chrysler • Ram 2500 • General Motors • Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500
