Episode 59: CNG's Impact on On-Road Transportation and Economics
Listen to this episode on your favourite podcast platforms as usual, or watch this episode, recorded in our Studio, on our YouTube channel.
In this episode, we look at the opportunity that commercial transportation has to integrate compressed natural gas (CNG) into on-road operations, what carriers are doing already, building confidence in the technology, and the benefits and challenges that have been overcome, and may still exist.
Host Kelsey Hipkin brings back a voice from the past to quarterback this episode, AMTA’s Josh Hannaberry. Josh is joined by Ganesh Srinivasan, Fleet Account Executive at Cummins Inc., Vetaley Marivtsan, Technical Support Manager at Cummins Canada, and Cody Brookwell, Director of Sales & Business Development at Clean Energy Fuels.
