IMPCO Automotive has been awarded General Motors' bi-fuel compressed natural gas (CNG) cab chassis program for the 2016, 2017, and 2018 model years, the alternative fuel system supplier announced.

The new cab chassis program expands IMPCO Automotive's existing bi-fuel CNG vehicle programs for GM, which include Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD pickups with multiple cab and bed configurations, and dedicated CNG full-size Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, according to IMPCO.

As an extension of GM's manufacturing process, IMPCO Automotive installs the bi-fuel CNG fuel systems using OEM processes and standards. All of the CNG fuel systems are warranted and validated by General Motors.

Bi-fuel vehicles enable fleet operators to reduce emissions using CNG, which burns cleaner and costs less than gasoline. The 24.5-gallon CNG tank, in addition to the 23.5-gallon gasoline tank, on the Silverado 3500HD provides fueling flexibility and optimal range between fill-ups, IMPCO said.

OEM conversion of the vehicles will be done at IMPCO Automotive's manufacturing facility in Union City, Ind., with ship to commerce (STC) approval from GM expected to coincide with the gasoline vehicle's release for the 2016 model year.

Turning Connected Vehicle Data Into Decisions That Matter

Fleet leaders have more data than ever, but turning that data into clear, actionable decisions remains a challenge. This white paper shows how leading organizations are using connected vehicle data to improve safety, reduce costs, and optimize fleet performance. Learn how to turn insight into action across your fleet.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
