Maintenance: same costs as diesel
Natural gas truck maintenance has great benefits that save costs.
- No antipollution system (DPF - DEF) required
- Natural gas doesn't require the use of urea
With these saved costs, the total planned maintenance costs for a natural gas truck are equivalent to those of a diesel truck, even with the 3 year safety inspection requirement for a natural gas truck.
Add to that fuel economy of up to 35%, your operating costs will be significantly reduced.
Planned maintenance costs
5 years - 800,000 Km**** | Natural Gas | Diesel |
Motor oil | $9,733 | $7,300 |

Valve adjustments | $2,359 | $640 |
DPF-DEF | N / A | $3,486 |
Urea | N / A | $3,466 |
CNG Security inspection | $2,000 | N / A |
Total | $ 17,114 | $15,252 |
