He also explained: “We should take advantage of natural gas resources here in Mexico. It is less costly than diesel and the technology is much cleaner.” Navistar is already developing trucks and school buses running on CNG in the United States. Meanwhile, Bimbo Group has already undergone tests with methane-fueled vehicles in the country.
According to information published by the website T21, there are seven public natural gas refueling stations across Mexico serving approximately 2,600 NGVs.
Navistar Mexico strongly promotes the use of natural gas in transportation. In fact, last month, the company agreed with other automotive leaders on stressing the importance of CNG to cut dependence on diesel and protect the environment.
