RNG Trucks vs Diesel: Real Cost Analysis for Fleets

‍ ‍

Industry Insight

A recent industry article examined the cost-benefit comparison between renewable natural gas (RNG) trucks and diesel fleets, highlighting how fuel costs, emissions reductions, and long-term operating expenses continue to influence fleet decisions. The analysis suggests that RNG-powered vehicles may offer meaningful advantages in the right operating environments, particularly for fleets with predictable routes and centralized fueling operations.

Mcore’s Perspective

While RNG and CNG can provide compelling economics, every fleet is different. In our experience, the strongest business case is often found in return-to-base operations where fuel consumption, route predictability, and private fueling infrastructure can be optimized. Factors such as station sizing, compressor selection, utility costs, maintenance strategy, and available grant funding can significantly impact total cost of ownership and long-term savings.
