Exhibit 23.2

                         CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


We consent to the use of our report dated April 11, 1996, except for note 17,
which is dated as of October 10, 1996, with respect to the consolidated
financial statements of Natural Gas Vehicle Systems, Inc. and subsidiary
included herein, and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in
the Registration Statement.

Our report dated April 11, 1996, except for note 17, which is dated as of
October 10, 1996, contains and explanatory paragraph that states that the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital
deficiency, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
