Score of 93.53/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
CNG FUELS LTD exhibits a strong trend of prompt payments, with an average payment time of 19 days and 86% of invoices settled within 30 days. This consistent performance indicates a reliable and predictable payment speed for the majority of transactions.
While most payments are swift, a 30% late payment rate introduces some unpredictability regarding adherence to specific invoice due dates. Additionally, 14% of payments extend beyond 30 days, including 2% over 60 days, indicating a low but present risk of minor payment delays.
Overall, CNG FUELS LTD poses a low payment risk for suppliers, characterized by generally fast payments and high reliability for the majority of invoices. Suppliers should consider the 30% late payment rate and the small percentage of extended payments when establishing credit terms or managing cash flow expectations.

CNG Fuels Ltd trades as CNG Fuels, operating the UK's biomethane refuelling network for heavy goods vehicles. It supplies Bio-CNG, a renewable gaseous fuel derived from organic waste feedstocks such as food waste and agricultural residues, as a lower-carbon alternative to diesel. The company runs public access and mobile refuelling stations across major UK trucking routes, serving haulage operators and HGV fleets, and reports significant greenhouse gas emission savings for customers. The business is linked to ReFuels N.V., which appears on its website as the wider listed group associated with the CNG Fuels brand. CNG Fuels Ltd itself is the UK operating entity delivering the fuel supply and refuelling infrastructure rather than a manufacturer of vehicles or equipment.
