The vehicles exposed fleet owners to an alternative fuel, creating the demand necessary to justify Southern California Gas Company (SCG) to invest in CNG refueling development in the County of Los Angeles. Use of the CNG vehicles, with concurrent refueling development, expanded into San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
