Councilman Ralph Cumston -chairman for the Municipal Services, Parks and Recreation committee- and Andy Bowers of Ergo Consulting LLC Company, Columbus, talked about alternative fuel sources for fleet and the potential benefits and the availability of government grants, tax credits and low-interest loans for cities that convert vehicles to CNG.
Ergo Consulting could offer a contract to make a study on the city vehicle driving patterns and other feasibility factors that the committee will continue to discuss in future meetings.
Councilman introduced the possibility of converting Marion’s NGVs after he had assessed Dublin’s fleet experience.
