| About the Cover Natural gas, the world’s most abundant fuel source, is effective for reducing oxides of nitrogen and particulates from tractor-trailers, buses, refuse haulers, and other heavy-duty vehicles, but higher costs and the lack of a refueling infrastructure make natural gas use impractical. For now, fleet vehicles like these school buses are best suited for natural gas engines, such as those designed at SwRI, because they can easily refuel at a home base. |
