In North America, Ford, GM, Honda, Chrysler, Toyota and Volvo are currently offering or are testing natural gas passenger cars, vans, and trucks. Total range depends on the amount of natural gas stored on the vehicle. Most dedicated vehicles have a range of about 200 miles. Natural gas is abundant in North America. Dedicated NGVs are among the cleanest vehicles produced today.
Low emissions are due in large part to the simplicity of the fuel.
Spark plugs and fuel injectors benefit from a reduction in carbon buildup. As a result, oil change intervals can often be extended. Dedicated NGVs have shown significantly less engine wear because natural gas burns so completely. Closed-looped fuel systems virtually eliminate evaporative emissions. FuelMaker Corporation was formed in 1989 and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
