This article explains why transitioning fleet operations to renewable natural gas (RNG) is becoming both a strategic and regulatory necessity. Heavy-duty transportation is a major source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and new EPA rules for model year 2027 and beyond impose strict CO₂ and NOx reductions that diesel trucks will struggle to meet. RNG offers a turnkey, lower-carbon alternative that can reduce lifecycle emissions by up to 95%, cut fuel costs by more than 90%, and decrease maintenance downtime. With natural gas vehicle adoption rising, new engines like the Cummins X15N expanding fleet applicability, and a robust U.S. fueling network already in place, RNG presents a practical, less capital-intensive option compared to electric trucks. Fleets can further benefit from private RN
