- Reduced particulate and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) emissions
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Widespread availability of natural gas
- Lower cost
- Can be derived from renewable sources (biogas)
- Technically proven
- Available now
- Can be used in all vehicle classes
- Minimal processing or refining requirements
