The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), which hosts the Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities Coalition (DFWCC), is developing a Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) corridor plan for building battery-electric (BEV) and hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) vehicle infrastructure along the I-45 Corridor from Dallas to Houston, with an emphasis on medium and heavy-duty vehicles. As part of these efforts, NCTCOG has released the IH-45 Fuel Provider Zero-Emission Plans survey and IH-45 Fleets and Shippers survey to receive feedback from industry stakeholders on the development of ZEV infrastructure along the corridor. The purpose of this survey is to help understand the level of interest in the development of infrastructure that supports zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) along I-45. The deadline to complete both surveys is Friday, April 30th. For more information, please visit the website at nctcog.org/IH45-ZEV.

However, new NFPA 58 guidelines for next year specify that the propane industry will adopt the K15 connection for all future autogas vehicles reinstated into service, purchased, or converted after Jan. 1, 2020.
