OSTI ID:6621669

Three New York State school districts participated in the demonstration project by converting ten buses each to dual-fuel capability. The buses could use both CNG and gasoline or CNG and diesel fuel. Each district also installed a CNG refueling station to serve their buses. School bus fleets were chosen because of their large fuel use, advantageous usage patterns and the benefits that would accure from reduced fuel costs. The report includes both quantitative and qualitative data summarizing bus fuel economy; bus maintenance costs; regulatory problems; safety; training and community acceptance.
