DME should not be far behind. It's amazing how many vehicles are currently being fueled with alternative fuels. The data below is from 2008.
More than 33,000 vehicles are currently fueled with CNG or LNG in California. There are more than 150 public and private natural gas fueling locations in the state, and some households even have appliances that allow the driver to fuel at home.
Natural gas (methane) has been used as motor fuel in California for more than 20 years. Today, public and school buses, some package and beverage delivery applications (such as UPS and the U.S. Postal Service), as well as limited trash truck and port applications are fueled by natural gas The fueling infrastructure is in place for further expansion. However, fleets that refuel at a central location seem to be best suited for natural gas.
There are more than 130,000 natural gas vehicles (NGVs) on America's roads, including passenger cars and trucks, heavy-duty transit buses, school buses, and refuse haulers. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, more than ten percent of our nation's fleet of transit buses and 20 percent of new buses on order operate on natural gas. The number of natural gas refueling stations, currently numbering over 1,300 across the country, is growing.
