Driven by market forces.
The right way.
In Colombia cars/trucks have been running on natural gas. works well. just fill up at the station. Unless adjustments are made, natural gas doesnt give the power of gasoline.
When will the hydrogen F150 be available? When will there be Hydrogen filling stations? And where the hell is my jetpack?
What about propane? Isn’t it more expensive? The reason I ask is there are still many, many more places to get propane than compressed natural gas at this time.
However, most retail propane outlets are not simply drive and fill up. At my local propane place, I have to see a guy who looks very much like Hank Hill, and it takes him at least 15-20 minutes to get around to filling my tank. Nice guy but always busy.
I can’t imagine the process for self-service for propane. They act like I’m going to blow myself up just carrying the tank back to my car.
Compressed natural gas (CNG) has found it niche in taxis and public buses in metro areas, where the shorter range is less of an issue but where the vastly lower exhaust emissions compared to diesel or gasoline engines are highly beneficial (that’s why in Japan, most taxis are fueled by CNG).
Available from the factory on the Dodge Ram for a few years already. Ford Is behind.
Because it lowers their fleet operating costs. They don't give a happy damn about the fantasy of the greenhouse gas emissions and the climate fantasies of the totalitarians in Washington.
won’t be a big market as one needs lots of NG stations.
Best bets for NG are in truck fleets, ports and buses. for these, NG refilling can occur along interstates and in central terminals.
I’m a proud owner of an F-150, and am quite certain that after a half dozen beef and been burritos I could power that Ford with natural gas.
