"Compelling Case For NGVs” Workshops
 CVEF’s comprehensive “Compelling Case for NGVs” workshops, which are co-hosted by Clean Cities Coalitions and other clean-air/clean-transportation/ alternative fuel advocates across North America, are designed for public and private fleet operators and policy-makers and cover the following key topics:
- Why We’re Here: Economic, environmental and national energy security market drivers prompting the move to compressed natural gas (CNG)- and liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered vehicles.
- NGVs 101: Overview of natural gas properties and NGV basics.
- Best Bets: Which fleets and vehicle applications are the best candidates for successful NGV programs and why.
- Wheels: Available light-, medium- and heavy-duty NGVs and the sales-service channels that support them.
- Fill’er Up: Fuel station design, development, ownership and operations options for fleets of all sizes.
- OPM: Identifying and securing available tax incentives and grants (“other people’s money”) that further improve NGV economics.
- Been There - Done That: NGV fleet operators share experiences and tips.
- Dollars and “Sense”: A review of NGV program economics including how to calculate fuel costs, simple payback and life-cycle savings.
- Next Steps: Tips on how you can implement a successful NGV program.
 CVEF’s “Compelling Case…” Workshops are underwritten, in large part, by NGVAmerica and their natural gas vehicle, equipment and service company members. This allows our co-hosts to offer these educational events at low registration fees, CVEF is proud that net proceeds that may be generated from these events are donated to the co-host Clean Cities Coalitions to assist them in furthering NGV education.
