The
future of
clean transportation
fueled by
NGVs is
now. The
California
NGV Partnership
is working
to achieve
immediate
as well
as long-term
results.
We have
identified
and categorized
a number
of very
specific,
aggressive
yet achievable
goals, and
have dedicated
the resources
to reach
our objectives.
From the
deployment
of NGVs,
to the advancement
of NGV technologies,
to the development
of incentives,
we are moving
California
closer to
clean-air
transportation
every day.
 California
Natural
Gas Vehicle
Partnership
Goals.
The
California
NGV Partnership
will:

Promote
research,
development,
demonstration,
and

and
commercialization
efforts
in the
advancement

gas
engine
and
fueling
technology.
-
Increase
awareness
and

low-emission
fuel,
and
promotion
of future
advancement
in vehicle
&
fueling
technologies
to further
reduce

With the rising cost of petroleum-based
gasoline and diesel fuel, tougher emission standards and the growing
public demand for better environmental policies, natural gas vehicles
provide an attractive alternative with
a multitude of key advantages.
