Before you make a decision regarding whether or not to convert your equipment and/or vehicles to use alternative fuels, you should consider the total cost of investment… a combination of acquisition costs, fuel prices, incentives and residual values. The initial investment in equipment and/or vehicles is usually more than offset by incentives and the lower cost of the alternative fuel.
