凤凰城会议已核准凤凰公共交通部门购买120辆公交车使用压缩天然气（CNG），更换液化天然气客车（LNG）上运行的公交车。变化将保持凤凰城公共交通符合大多数国家的过境物业，部门主任尼尔·杨说，“压缩天然气天然气动力汽车已成为公共交通行业的标准。”1780VN车用调压器

  CNG公交车更便宜，因为车辆的制造过程中，可以提供密集的燃料通过管道总线助长网站。超级冷却LNG必须通过卡车交付。

  凤凰的初始投资在LNG公交车和加油设备是在20世纪90年代，与国家规定的汽油和柴油的替代燃料转换。作为其新的长期燃料战略的一部分，我市将升级其LNG燃料分配CNG的网站，而不必总翻新其总线设施。

  120新的CNG公交车，制造北美总线建设者新传单，将取代相同数量的退休LNG公交车，并将于为$ 61亿美元的采购与区域公共交通管理局区域合作采购协议。新巴士将在2013年秋季和2014年春季之间抵达。

  分娩后，菲尼克斯太阳队的465谷地铁巴士将65％的天然气（CNG和LNG），35％的超低硫柴油都被认为是清洁燃料。

  Phoenix City Council has approved the Phoenix Public Transit Department to buy 120 buses that use compressed natural gas (CNG), replacing buses that run on liquefied natural gas bus (LNG). The change will keep the Phoenix Public Transit Department in line with a majority of the nation’s transit properties said Neal Young, department director, “Compressed natural gas has become the public transit industry’s standard for natural gas powered vehicles.”

  CNG buses are cheaper because of the vehicle’s manufacturing process and the dense fuel can be delivered via pipeline to bus fueling sites. LNG must be super cooled and delivered via truck.

  Phoenix’s initial investment in LNG buses and fueling equipment came in the 1990s with a state-mandated conversion from gasoline and diesel to alternative fuels. As part of its new long-term fuel strategy, the city will upgrade its LNG fueling sites to dispense CNG without having a total refurbishment of its bus facilities.

  The 120 new CNG buses, to be manufactured by North American bus builder New Flyer, will replace the same number of retiring LNG buses and will be procured for $61 million from a regional cooperative purchasing agreement with the Regional Public Transportation Authority. The new buses will arrive between the fall of 2013 and spring of 2014.

  After delivery, Phoenix’s 465 Valley Metro buses will be 65% natural gas (CNG and LNG), and 35% ultra-low sulfur diesel both which are considered clean-burning fuels.
