Natural Gas Vehicle Market to Be Driven by Rapidly Growing Trucks and Buses Market

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/15/13 -- Growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions have caused a surge in demand for Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV). Natural gas is not only significantly cheaper than oil; it also emits 97 percent less carbon monoxide. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Alternative Auto Parts Industry and provides equity research on Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE) and Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies (NASDAQ: QTWW).

A major driver for the NGV market has been the demand for trucks and buses. As buses and trucks use a large amount of fuel, and in-turn high levels of greenhouse gasses, natural gas as a fuel has become an attractive option. Pike Research has recently forecasted that there will be a total of nearly 1 million new natural gas trucks and buses sold worldwide by 2019.

"Natural gas vehicles emit substantially lower levels of GHGs, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxide than either gasoline- or diesel-powered trucks and buses," says senior research analyst Dave Hurst. "What's more, compared to diesel engines, natural gas provides a financial benefit. In most cases, the higher incremental cost of a natural gas vehicle is typically recovered, due to lower fuel costs, within two to seven years."
