What You Need to Know about CNG Vehicle Conversion

However, if you’re looking for a new car that runs on CNG, you will find that the choices are very limited. In fact, there is only one car model available that runs purely on compressed natural gas, the Honda Civic GX. In 2001, the Honda Civic GX was named by the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) as the cleanest internal combustion engine on Earth. Unfortunately, the Civic GX has a very limited availability, with fewer than a thousand units rolled out by Honda Motors every year.

Fortunately, even if there are very limited production vehicles running on CNG available to the American Market, private citizens like you can still switch to compressed natural gas by natural gas conversion or outfitting your current gasoline-fuelled engine to run on CNG. Practically all vehicles running on gasoline can be converted to CNG giving you a wider range of choices. Natural gas conversion is also easier today with the availability of several companies offering CNG conversion services and CNG conversion kits.
