What challenge might fleet operators face when switching to CNG?

Access to CNG refueling stations is a significant challenge for fleet operators transitioning to compressed natural gas (CNG). The infrastructure for refueling with CNG is not as widespread or developed as traditional gasoline and diesel fueling stations. This scarcity can create logistical difficulties for fleet operators, who need to ensure that their vehicles can refuel conveniently and efficiently during their operations.

Without sufficient access to CNG refueling stations, fleet operators may struggle to maintain their schedules and may face increased downtime if they cannot readily access the fuel their vehicles require. This challenge can also limit the geographic areas where they can operate. Expanding infrastructure for CNG refueling is essential to alleviate this challenge and support the transition to cleaner fuel alternatives effectively.
