  NGV Market Development

  • Title: Account Executive• Location: Greater Los Angeles Area• Description: I am responsible for supporting SoCalGas' natural gas vehicle (NGV) customers located in Los Angeles, Southern Orange, Western Riverside, San Diego and Imperial Counties. Customers with high annual fuel usage are excellent candidates for switching to compressed natural gas (CNG). These segments include transit, refuse, school buses, heavy-duty trucking and more. I specialize in assisting customers to develop on-site CNG fueling for their fleets as well as provide fuel to the general public. SoCalGas also has a new tariff that allows customers to build these facilities at a greatly reduced upfront cost. I also assist customers with information on available grants and incentives for natural gas vehicles as well as CNG stations, and I make presentations to groups who would like to learn more about compressed natural gas heavy-duty trucking and fueling infrastructure. .
