RayMax Equipments Sales Ltd. is proud to be a part of Heil's new CNG Truck Program, Supplying Alberta and Canada with a great way to lower its effects on our environment. CNG emits significantly less pollutants such as carbon dioxide, unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulate matter, compared to petrol. With a 20% percent reduction in green house gases and a decrease in noise pollution this makes Compressed Natural Gas a fuel that is here to stay. Natural Gas has been used as a motor fuel in Canada for over 20 years.The NGV market started to decline after 1995, sadly reaching today’s vehicle population of about 12,000.
With low CNG prices $.76 per litre, CNG is a very desirable fuel alternative. Compressed natural gas is also popular among fleet operators, who point to lower operating and life-cycle costs, as well as reduced air pollution. CNG vehicles are being used in many fleet applications: airports, delivery services, long-haul trucks, parks, police and traffic enforcement, refuse haulers, buses (school, shuttle and transit) and taxis. Like school buses, there are several factors that make fleet vehicles a great fit for CNG. They are typically high mileage vehicles, so the fuel savings from CNG vs. gasoline is substantial over the life of a vehicle. Plus, the central location of fleets mean they can locate near refueling stations or house their own facility. I dont have to supply facts about CNG fuel, the facts are apparent. In the future it is important for governments, provincially and federally to implement tax breaks and grants to make this a realistic goal towards sustainability here in Canada.
