• The logistical consideration a fleet needs to investigate;
• Federal and state tax credits, grants and other incentives;
• How to calculate fuel costs, payback and lifecycle savings;
• Fuel station designs, development and ownership options;
• Future infrastructure for fueling;
• Steps in implementing a successful NGV program;
