What vehicles can run on CNG?• Dedicated- operates only on

natural gas• Bifuel- operates on natural

gas as well as gasoline• Many conventional gasoline

vehicles can run on CNG.• OEM’s include Honda, BAF,

Landirenzo, and Cummins Westport

• 43 CNG vehicle engines are certified by EPA, available through up-fitters, carry factory warranties

The purchase process is seamless- fleets work through local dealers, who make arrangements with up-fitters, so vehicles carry full warranties

Look for Fully Integrated Alternate Energy Solutions

Light-duty vehicles are crash tested to ensure conformance to FMVSS-303 Not done “by analysis” like others

The only CNG converter to achieve “3Q” Status with Ford QVM - Qualified Vehicle Modifier QFC – Quality Fleet Care QCM – Qualified Calibration Modifier

This means that BAF is utilizing Ford OEM calibration standards for CNG and not “hacking into” or performing an “unauthorized reflash” of the original calibration
