Alliance AutoGas has announced that it will pursue CARB certification for the 2016 Ford Transit.
“The Ford Transit platform has already become Alliance AutoGas’s most popular bi-fuel propane autogas product,” says Ed Hoffman of Alliance AutoGas. “With our sales success on the 2015 model, our customers are anxious for a 50 state solution. There has been no precedent set for a light duty bi-fuel autogas vehicle to obtain CARB approval. The emissions requirements and advanced diagnostic requirements have been a great hurdle. Our engineering group has conducted an extensive feasibility study and we believe our advanced technology can be meet those technical hurdles.”
Official EPA testing on propane has demonstrated a 13% reduction in CO2 and 33% reduction in Methane emissions. The EPA has identified these pollutants as the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.
Alliance AutoGas is now accepting orders for their 49 State 2016 Ford Transit.
