Alliance AutoGas announced that its Ford Transit 3.7L engine conversion to propane autogas is in development and expected to go in for EPA certification in early 2015. The bi-fuel system conversion on the Transit requires no intake manifold drilling, cutting, or splicing of wiring, making it the first plug and play conversion to be installed by AAG, according to the company.
The company stated that the system provides “OEM quality components and engineering with half the install time.” With extended range capabilities, the bi-fuel system insures a fleet gets where it needs to go, offering consistent performance, Alliance said. The company continued, stating that 21 gallons of useable propane autogas will be installed without compromising the vehicle’s current safety or operational benefits. The system features a standard warranty of five years or 100,000 miles.
Replacing the Ford E-Series, the Ford Transit vans and wagons are available in single and dual-rear wheels models, with three body lengths and three roof heights. Configurations cover eight-, 10-, 12- and 15-passenger seating, providing flexible cargo volume and payload options.
