How to Buy Clean, American Fuel Vehicles
Fleet Buyers Individual BuyersB
Purchasing AFVs for your fleet or yourself involves many considerations, e.g. refueling, maintenance, how and where vehicles will be used, and others. Before you actually buy an AFV, we encourage you to contact Central Ohio Clean Fuels Coalition at (614) 292-5435. We can help you work through your decision and give you support after your purchase. With our help we're confident that your experience will be positive and you will want to buy more AFVs.
Used AFVs:
One of the best kept AFV secrets is that buying used can save a ton of money.
Used AFVs are often less expensive than a comparable, e.g. same mileage,
age and condition, used petroleum fueled vehicle. Buying one is easier than
you think. Start here (future link) to learn more about where to buy in
Central Ohio and elsewhere.
CNG Auto Sales - CNG Auto Sales specializes in selling used compressed natural gas vehicles. Normally, you will find prices of vehicles to be less than a comparable gasoline or diesel vehicle. They also offer excellent service on the vehicles they sell. See a sample of vehicles (future link) currently available and/or call them at (740) 623-2186.
New AFVs:
Visit the Vehicle
Buyers Guide (VBG) to get specifications on new light and heavy duty
vehicles available from manufacturers and learn about incentives that might
exist. At the bottom of the VBG page you can choose links to information
designed for fleets
or individual consumers.
