Volkswagen is considering selling CNG vehicles in the US. They already have the Touran minivan and Passat sedan available with the CNG option (the call it EcoFuel) in Europe. Hopefully they could make the transition to the US market without too much difficulty.

Natural Gas Fueling to expand along I-84 and I-15

BLU Fuels (operator of the CNG/LNG station at the 21st South Flying J in Salt Lake) is teaming with Kenworth and PACCAR Leasing Company (PacLease) to make LNG trucks available to operators and provide infrastructure for fueling.  New stations are being built along I-84 and I-15.
I expect the stations to be LNG only at first but able to add CNG fueling capability in the future.

Chevrolet working on a CNG Impala?

A few late model CNG Impalas have been spotted testing in Colorado. Hopefully this is a good sign that a factory produced CNG Impala is on the way in the next year or two. It seems like Chevrolet finally had the CNG system figured out with the 2003-4 Cavaliers, but then stopped making them. Hopefully Chevy can do the CNG Impala right.

Another CNG Station Opens in Ogden

Clean Energy is opening LNG Stations Nationwide

Clean Energy is partnering with Pilot-Flying J to make LNG (liquified natural gas) available along key interstate corridors nationwide. This is exciting new for CNG drivers because wherever LNG is sold, CNG should also be available. Unfortunately, Clean Energy has not yet confirmed that the LNG stations will also dispense CNG. The network will include two stations in Utah. As previously mentioned in this blog, one LNG station is already open in Salt Lake City. Another one is planned for Beaver, UT. If the expanded network of LNG stations also dispense CNG it will make it easier to travel cross country in your CNG vehicle.
