The big thing for truckers is the lack of enough fueling stations. Not many LNG trucks on the road because there's not many fuel stations, and there's not many fuel stations because there aren't many NG vehicles.

Once there are a critical number of refueling stations along the major highways, then the number of NG vehicles will increase dramatically.

Also, existing LNG trucks are produced by taking a diesel truck and applying an expensive conversion kit. Once there's enough demand, the truck manufacturers will produce trucks that start as LNG trucks, greatly reducing the price.

There will be a basic LNG supply chain on the Interstate system by the end of this year. It should be more than 200 stations by two different companies at strategic locations. Just a start, but enough to start

I would say most of the initial are not change outs but rather new trucks in fleets like UPS and others.
