Business Description
Natural Gas Vehicle Systems, Inc. is a leading United States manufacturer and distributor of fuel storage systems for use on-board natural gas vehicles. The company's fuel storage cylinders are highly-engineered pressure vessels for the storage of compressed natural gas. Since 1990, the company and its predecessors have invested significant resources in product development and manufacturing capability to meet the expected growth in demand in the natural gas vehicle market. The United States Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and the Energy Policy Act of 1992, in combination with clean air laws passed in California, Texas and many other states, mandate the use of alternatives fueled vehicles in the United States, reflecting the stated national policy of reducing vehicular air pollution and dependence on foreign oil.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for a new manufacturing facility; to repay certain outstanding indebtedness; for the purchase of manufacturing machinery for steel cylinder production; and the balance for working capital and general corporate purposes.
