Ford Offers More Alternative Fuel Solutions Than Any Other Truck Manufacturer
By 2012, half of all Ford vehicles will be capable of running on alternative fuels.
Ford has developed and tested a CNG/LPG Gaseous Engine Prep Package to be installed by preferred upfitters, who install the CNG/LPG tanks and hardware. The engine comes with hardened exhaust valves and valve seats for improved wear resistance and durability for gaseous fuel systems, and Ford engineers work with the upfit companies to ensure consistent and reliable performance.
The new engine calibration maintains engine operating limits as specified for cylinder pressures, piston temperatures and engine speed, among others. Ford maintains the engine and powertrain warranty (five years/50,000 miles) and the upfitter is responsible for the system component warranty.
Customer-focused alternative-fuel offerings
"Our expanded portfolio of commercial products that can operate on alternative fuels has been developed based on the relationships we have with our customers and a commitment to supporting their sustainability strategies," said Rob Stevens, chief engineer, Commercial Products. "Going forward, we will continue to maintain this customer-focused strategy in the development of future technologies."
