Natural Gas Alternative Fuel Systems for Ford E-Series Vans

Ford Motor Company has partnered with Leggett & Platt to offer Natural Gas conversions for vans and work trucks.  These alternative fuel conversions save on fuel costs when compared to traditional gasoline or diesel.  Whereas bio-diesel leaves residue and can clog your mechanical inner workings natural gas burns clean and actually reduces you maintenance costs as well.  Natural Gas, also known as CNG trucks and Vans also reduce C02 emissions and well as our collective dependence on foreign oil.  Because Ford Motor Company has invented into the Alternative Fuel Vehicle sector they have also taken the time to certify companies like Leggett & Platt as Quality Vehicle Modifiers or QVM's.  This certification process ensures greater confidence and customer service.  Landirenzo USA provide3s a 3 year and 50,000 mile warranty and supports service and maintenance through Ford dealerships nationwide.   These Natural Gas Conversions are FMVSS 303 and 304 compliant as well as being EPA and CARB certified.  Call Gresham Ford Fleet at 503-665-0101 for more information about the certifications necessary in your neck of the woods.  These CNG vans and CNG trucks have the longest range GGE capability with standard under body tank system.  

Compressed natural gas (CNG) can fuel everything than gasoline and diesel can.  School buses, airport shuttles and many electricians and HVAC companies have already converted to a Ford Natural Gas work truck or van. Fleets of all sizes are saving money on fuel and reducing emission levels. Since CNG is a cleaner fuel than diesel or gasoline, engine wear and maintenance is also reduced, allowing a vehicle to last longer.

With the same power as gasoline or diesel fuel, CNG can also be used in transit buses, semitrucks, school buses, waste disposal trucks and delivery vehicles without compromising power or performance. Currently, one of every five new transit buses in America is fueled by natural gas, and a natural gas-powered school bus can displace 1,400 gallons of diesel fuel per year. Currently, there are more than 2,500 CNG buses in school districts across the country.  At more than $2 cheaper than gasoline many fleets are turning heads to learn more about this Alternative Fuel Conversion trend.  

Commercial vehicles travel a significantly greater number of miles per year than private vehicles that travel an average of 12,000 to 15,000 per year.  Municipalities can experience sometime 100,000 miles a year on police cars and other high mileage positions.  Compressed Natural Gas's popularity and presence in the media recently has done wonders to increase the number of fleet converting.  Ford Motor Company has separated themselves from the other major manufacturers by offering a superior level of customer service and support throughout the life of every alternative fuel vehicle.  Gresham Ford Fleet has continued these standards as the Northwest Preferred Fleet Ford Dealership.
