Weld County
Natural Gas Coalition

The number of natural gas vehicles on the road worldwide has nearly doubled to over 8 million in the past 5 years!  That number is expected by some to increase ten-fold by 2020!

Natural gas can be used in all classes of vehicles – motorcycles, cars, vans, trucks, buses, lift trucks, locomotives, even ships and ferries.

Natural gas can be used either by converting an existing gasoline or diesel engine, or by using a purpose built natural gas engine.

Weld County is also converting fleet vehicles.  In 2010, Weld County converted 4 vehicles and in 2011 an additional 7 vehicles, which include SUV’s, light and medium duty trucks, a van, and transit buses.
