"One of the primary growth drivers for this market is the higher fuel efficiency of natural gas trucks,” says a senior analyst for Industrials at Technavio.

The higher fuel efficiency of natural gas trucks is one of the primary growth factors for this market. It has been observed that fuel prices account for almost 30% of the total acquisition cost of commercial vehicles. Although this induces fleet owners to prefer commercial vehicles with a reasonable engine horsepower and better fuel efficiency, fluctuating fuel prices make it difficult for fleet owners to forecast operational costs. This will result in the increased adoption of natural gas vehicles since the low cost of natural gas reduces the cost per mile of NGVs.

As the markets recover Technavio expects the light and heavy duty natural gas vehicle market size to grow by 251.43 K units during the period 2020-2024.
