Developing the Next Generation Natural Gas Vehicle
The Next Generation Natural Gas Vehicle (NGNGV) R&D activity is leading important advances in natural gas vehicle (NGV) technology. NGNGV engine research projects have demonstrated oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions well below EPA 2007 levels, and two projects met EPA 2010 levels in medium-duty engines. Ongoing NGNGV engine and vehicle projects covering a range of power and torque ratings are targeted to achieve EPA 2007/2010 emission levels in 2005. In addition, gaseous fuel expertise gained through the NGNGV activity and other government and industry NGV and infrastructure efforts is aiding the transition to a future transportation scenario based on hydrogen.
