Alternative Fuel Systems Offered by Ford Motor Company

Alternative Fuel Developers for Ford Motor Company

With gas prices increasing noticeably before our eyes, more fleets are choosing to take the plunge and convert their fleet and choose an alternative fuel Ford product.  Depending on existing infrastructure, prices of propane, and natural gas are substantially less than gasoline or diesel.  The Department of Energy in concert with divisions of the Clean Cities Coalitions are walking municipalities through the process of fleet conversion.  Making your fleet green can be easy and rewarding.

Over the last year, a number of manufacturers, kitmakers if you will, have gone through the approval process with Ford Motor Company, much as Roush , LandiRenzo and BAF had already done previously.  And while established, recognized businesses in the industry have joined in the network of kitmakers offering viable alternative solutions, the first three are still developing engine kits for more of the Ford line of vehicles.  This market seems to be changing almost week-to-week, which will be a challenge for us to keep with their purchasing rules.

Ford is working with a number of developers and installers.  Developers create the engine calibration complete the on-dynamometer calibration testing, comply with all Ford engineering requirements and develop a vehicle component package.  Some developers are also installers.  A tremendous investment of time and resources is required to develop and test each vehicle package.  The chart below lists developers and QVM-qualified vehicle engine packages.  Refer to the Fleet website, www.fleet.ford.com for new product capabilities and modifiers as they are added.
