Landi Renzo has secured certifications from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to offer dedicated compressed natural gas versions of 2018-MY Ford heavy-duty trucks and vans, the company announced Jan. 26.
Ford’s F-450/450 and F-650/750 trucks, its stripped chassis F-59 commercial walk-in van, and the E-450 full-size van with 6.8L gaseous prep engines were certified in January, according to Landi Renzo.
Landi Renzo’s 6.8L CNG systems have been developed by alternative fuel engineers and are available exclusively through the company’s U.S. distribution network.
The vehicle modifier has also gained EPA certification for CNG versions of additional Ford products, including the E-350 and E-450 vans powered by the 6.2L engines.
The California Air Resources Board has also certified these vehicles, as well as bi-fuel and dedicated versions of the F-250 and F-350 powered by the 6.2L engine, the company announced on Jan. 29. Landi Renzo offers a model of the F-250 and F-250 with a service body. Fleets must place their orders by March 2.
