Two prospective alternative fuel implementation scenarios were created to quantify the potential range of compressed natural gas use in fleet vehicles including fleet automobiles; light-, medium-, and heavy-duty fleet trucks; public transit buses; and school buses. The scenarios are based principally on the clean-fuel fleet vehicle provisions contained in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the California Low Emission Vehicle Regulations, and the assumed future capability of compressed natural gas to meet various levels of tailpipe emission standards. The potential for using compressed natural gas in fleet vehicle applications varies significantly between the scenarios primarily due to assumption about differences in affected vehicle classes, timing of the regulations, and emission levels. By 2010, the potential for compressed natural gas vehicle use ranges from less than 840 thousand to more than 1.3 million fleet vehicles of all types with corresponding gas demand ranging from 140 to 200 billion cubic feet per year.
