US NGV Industry Upbeat at NGVAmerica Summit Conference

August 16, 2010 – 4:02 am | Source: Fleets&Fuels | USA, Boston

NGVAmerica’s Summit-Conference, held in Boston last week, has confirmed upbeat sentiment amongst industry members with almost universal agreement that the industry is on the verge of a tipping point which should see vehicle and fuelling station numbers increase dramatically in coming years. More than 150 delegates attended a series of meetings and sessions over the three day event with some in-house meetings attracting standing room only crowds. Attending NGV Global executive director, Brett Jarman, described the atmosphere as enthusiastic, positive and forward looking. Following are some of the NGV related highlights from Fleets and Fuel’s Showtime News, published for the WasteCon Exhibition held immediately after the Summit:

Verizon will boost green fleet with CNG vehicles

Verizon's commitment to natural gas vehicles recognised in 2010 awards.

Three individuals and three organizations were honored today by the natural gas vehicle industry for their efforts to advance the development of natural gas vehicles in the United States. The 2010 National NGV Achievement Awards were presented by NGVAmerica and the Clean Vehicle Education Foundation, two organizations dedicated to increasing the use of natural gas vehicles to improve air quality, lessening dependence on foreign oil and reducing fleet operator costs.

The NGV Achievement Awards are presented at the associations’ joint Natural Gas Vehicle Summit-Conference, which brings together industry leaders from across the country. This is the 18th year for the awards.

Education the Key to NGV Take-up in Australia, Not Technology

July 29, 2010 – 2:12 pm | Australia

SAE-Australasia’s first two-day conference, held in Melbourne, has highlighted the need for selling the message about the efficiencies and environmental benefits available to fleets and private users, through the adoption of natural gas as a fuel for transportation. Tony McMullan of Australia’s Truck Industry Council quoted Professor David Cebon, an Australian academic and engineer from Cambridge University, who said that as an industry we do not have a technical problem we have a marketing problem. SAE will renew its focus on educating the public and then going to government and identifying policy that will assist in the greater acceptance and take up of gaseous fuels, seen as a key role for SAE-A.

AFVi Survey: Adopting Alternative Fuel Vehicles is Top Strategy – Natural Gas Dominant Preference

July 25, 2010 – 2:32 pm | USA

At 34%, natural gas dominates survey responses.

The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute, which organized the Alternative Fuels & Vehicles National Conference + Expo 2010, has released the results of a survey, in which participants were asked about one policy or initiative that their company is using to green their fleet. 89% said incorporating, expanding and/or replacing existing vehicles with “alternative fuel vehicles” is their top strategy. Of those that indicated a preferred fuel type, natural gas was the dominant preference, attracting 34% of respondents ahead of 6 other fuels.

NGVs: Revolutionizing America’s Transportation

July 14, 2010 – 6:39 pm | USA

2010 National NGV Conference-Summit – Boston, Massachusetts – August 12th-14th
REGISTER AND BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION NOW

Hosted by NGVAmerica, the 2010 National NGV Conference-Summit is looming. Themed NGVs: Revolutionizing America’s Transportation, the event uses what NGVAmerica describes as the devastating environmental, economic and national energy security consequences of America’s reliance on oil to set the scene for illustrating solutions offered by the domestic and international natural gas vehicle (NGV) industry. The industry is leading a revolution of fleet operators, policy makers and consumers, by offering a reliable proven solution that uses America’s abundant natural gas resource to generate jobs, improve air quality, reduce costs and – as a gaseous fuel – pave the way to even cleaner future hydrogen-based transportation technologies.

Develop a Bigger Role for NGV Transportation at LNG 17

July 10, 2010 – 6:41 pm

The American Gas Association, host organization for LNG 17 — the 17th International Conference & Exhibition on Liquefied Natural Gas — taking place in April of 2013 in Houston, is seeking expressions of interest and support directed at enlarging the natural gas vehicle profile at this forthcoming event. In the past, LNG for transportation has played a very small role in the conference. For LNG 17, both the NGV industry and the conference organizers would like to have LNG for transportation play a much larger role in both the conference program and the exhibition. NGVAmerica has been asked by the conference organizers to help facilitate that effort.

NGV 2010: Change the Perception

June 11, 2010 – 3:55 pm | Italy, Rome - NGV 2010 Conference and Exhibition

OEMs in Rome included Mercedes, Fiat, Opel and Volkswagen

Creating a Revolution in Transport may have been the theme for this year’s natural gas vehicle conference in Rome, but another recurring theme has emerged from presentations. Persistently, “perception is reality” has been reiterated – the perception that natural gas is short term, inefficient, unsafe, and non-renewable has to change. It isn’t any of those things, and by all accounts it is becoming a viable primary fuel, not an alternative fuel, and will be here for many years to come.

SAE-Australia Plans Bigger and Better Gaseous Fuels Conference in Australia

June 3, 2010 – 1:41 pm

SAE-A 2010 Gaseous Fuels Conference (July 26 and 27) – Melbourne, Australia

Last year, the Society of Automotive Engineers – Australia (SAE-A) ran a very successful one-day gaseous fuels conference in response to growing interest in the country. This year, new technologies, new customers and new opportunities have provided demand for the conference to expand to two days, aimed at highlighting all sectors of the gaseous fuels industry. SAE-A Director Mr. Tim Car says, “The Australian gaseous fuels industry is experiencing greater market interest in these financially constrained times. With government focused on introducing tougher emission regulations and greater energy security and operators focused on reducing operating costs, LPG, LNG and CNG are well placed to be the new champions in the transport sector.”

Castlen's Chevy modification excite Apache Energy staff and others in Houston.

Pursuing a dual masters in Public Affairs at the University of Texas and working part time doesn’t leave much time for other activities, that is, unless you are Castlen Kennedy. Combining her interests into a thesis with a narrative and borrowing a vehicle from her employer Apache Energy, she has set off on a natural gas powered journey from Austin Texas to Boston, Massachusetts, on what has been called The Green American Road Trip. Driving a converted 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe, Castlen started May 19 and expects to conclude the 2,300 miles (3,700 kms) trip by May 28, stopping at up to 13 public CNG refuelling stations on the way. The converted 5.3L V8 bi-fuel vehicle with six-speed automatic transmission is carrying five CNG cylinders, enough to cover approximately 350 miles per fill.
