However, widespread commercial use of electric drive on long-haul and heavy-duty routes is not yet feasible. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) are considered alternative fuels. Concerns about the availability and sustainability of biofuels are leading to a growing interest in what are known as e-fuels.
