Propane IS natural gas; it's just been refined so the lighter gasses have been removed, making it easier to liquify. The problem with natural gas is that it's not practical to liquefy it, so natural gas vehicles use COMPRESSED, not liquified gas. So the tanks have to be large and stout, and they don't have nearly the range as similar-sized LPG tanks. And you need an expensive compressor to fill a CNG tank.
CNG makes a lot of sense for fleet vehicles that are refueled in a central location and don't need to range far from that location.
Some yachts use exchangeable natural gas tanks; CNG can be safely stored below deck, while LPG has to be stored above deck. Maybe exchangeable tanks would be a solution for smaller tractor and industrial vehicles.
