According to reports from foreign media, the recent emergence of natural gas as a viable short-term alternative to expensive gasoline has prompted some foreign automakers such as General Motors and Chrysler to step up efforts to produce natural gas vehicle engines and vehicles. The company of the component invests.

Relevant individuals believe that the auto industry seeks to reduce its reliance on imported oil and instead use North America's abundant natural gas resources, it will make natural gas engine and component manufacturers such as Westport Innovation and Clean Energy Fuel Company become beneficiaries. General Motors CEO Exxon said that this is an area that we need to return to in the North American environment. Sean Savvinson, a prominent analyst, said: "Natural gas is cheaper to clean. It is a domestic fuel resource and therefore also involves energy security."

Others believe that natural gas-powered vehicles are more environmentally friendly than all-electric vehicles because the electric energy used by electric vehicle batteries often comes from fossil-fuel thermal power plants.
