Landi Renzo, the American subsidiary of Landi Renzo Group, received California Air Resources Board (CARB) Certification for the Heavy Duty Ford CNG/RNG 7.3L engine, which covers medium-duty Class 4-7 vehicles.

“This accomplishment is a key milestone for clean transportation in the trucking industry. It is an ecomobility revolution,” said Andrea Landi, president of Landi Renzo USA.

The Landi Renzo ‘Eco-Ready’ Dedicated CNG/RNG system for the 7.3L engine represents the cleanest power source available for airport and hotel shuttle buses, delivery trucks, service trucks, large package trucks, as well as other vocational offerings. Many of these vehicles will be able to take advantage of various clean air grant funding opportunities.

During this multi-year effort, Landi Renzo USA, in partnership with Ford Motor Company, conducted extensive engine and vehicle testing to meet the stringent Ford Q-185 gaseous prep guidelines and demonstrate full useful life durability.

The Landi Renzo USA product is the only Ford QVM EPA and CARB certified CNG/RNG product in the market. By utilizing the Landi Renzo USA system, fleets have peace of mind knowing their product is supported by the OEM and warranty remains in place.
