Diverses municipalités au Canada utilisent des autobus alimentés au gaz naturel, à l'éthanol et au méthanol, démontrant ainsi quotidiennement aux responsables des services de transport en commun, aux chauffeurs d’autobus et aux passagers que les carburants de remplacement satisfont aux normes de sécurité et de fiabilité du moteur diesel, mais à un moindre coût. 7, record 3, French, - carburant%20de%20remplacement

combustible de remplacement; combustible de substitution; combustible alternatif : Les expressions «carburant de remplacement» et «combustible de remplacement» sont parfois utilisées de façon interchangeable; cependant, ces unités terminologiques ne sont pas des synonymes exacts. Le terme carburant s’applique au secteur du transport. Le terme combustible est plus général. Par exemple, le charbon et le bois sont des combustibles pouvant servir à alimenter les fournaises. Le terme carburant ne s’applique pas aux fournaises, aux poêles à bois, mais plutôt aux automobiles, aux avions et aux fusées. 8, record 3, French, - carburant%20de%20remplacement
