Natural Gas Refuse Trucks Orders are Increasing Annually



Currently, there are over 3,500 natural gas refuse
trucks running daily in the U.S.
– 50% of Autocar’s refuse truck orders are CNG
– Natural gas refuse trucks require no
particulate traps, filters, or SCR (Urea)
CE fuels over 3,000 refuse trucks daily including:
– Waste Management, Republic Services,
Burrtec Waste, Central Jersey Waste, Metro
Paper, ACUA, NYC Sanitation, etc.
More municipalities across the U.S. are
mandating natural gas refuse trucks for
residential collection services including:
– Boise, ID; Smithtown, NY; Brookhaven, NY;
Hamilton, NJ; Huntington, NY; San Antonio,
TX; Seattle, WA; College Park, GA;
Montgomery County, MD;



Cleaner
– Cleanest burning fuel available for HDV’s
– Reduces GHG emissions by 23% compared
to diesel
– Replacing one diesel garbage truck with one
that operates on natural gas has the same
emissions benefits as taking 325 cars off the
road per year
– Significant noise reductions – 90% quieter
Cheaper
– Natural Gas is the only alternative fuel that
is significantly less expensive than diesel on
a per gallon basis
– Today you can save $0.75-$1.00 per gallon
compared to diesel
Domestic
– 98% Domestically Produced
– Displace imported oil on a gallon for gallon
basis
– 120+ Years of Domestic Reserves
Works - Proven Technology
– The Cummins Westport ISL-G is a dedicated
fourth generation natural gas engine

According to the US Energy Information Administration the spread
between natural gas and petroleum is forecasted to increase in the
coming years; fleets using natural gas will have a competitive
advantage over those using diesel.

CNG Refuse Trucks and Fuel Economics – No Grant Money






The average incremental cost difference between a new 2011
CNG refuse truck and a new 2011 diesel is around $40,000
A typical refuse truck burns around 10,000 gallons of fuel
annually. 35 - 40 gallons a day, 5 days a week
Our current fuel savings here in the Northeast is around $0.75
- $1.00 per gallon. $2.199 per gallon
If you ran a new CNG refuse truck for 7 years your return on
investment would be 18%, without any grant funding
$1.00 per gallon savings = $10,000 per year or $833 per
month fuel savings. 4 year payback and $30,000 fuel savings
over the next 3 years Per Truck
$0.75 per gallon savings = $7,500 per year or $625 per month
fuel savings. 64 month payback and $12,500 fuel savings
over the next 20 months Per Truck
