BAF Technologies has received CARB and EPA certification, including OBD II, for their natural gas conversion systems for Ford F-Series pick-ups including the F-150, F-250 and F-350. With this product line addition, BAF says they become the only converter with dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) pick-ups meeting the stringent standards. The F-Series joins the BAF Ford E-450 shuttle, E-350 van and Crown Victoria/Town Car in achieving full certification using BAFs proprietary CalComp technology, meeting all SULEV requirements for light-duty vehicles.
The F-Series conversions to dedicated CNG will be done in both Dallas and California and will be allowed to drive in HOV lanes in states that allow alternate fuel vehicles to use the special lanes. The standard configuration will include a single CNG cylinder installed in the bed with a capacity of 20 GGE.
“The F-Series gives us a new entry into the CNG market,” says John Bacon, president. “We recognize there is broad market potential since there is a large number of fleets in the US using F-150/250/350 pick-ups.”
BAF says they already have a healthy order bank for vehicles in California and across the Midwest and production is beginning immediately. In addition, several Ford dealers have already committed to selling the F-Series converted vehicles, recognizing the large market potential.
Those interested in purchasing these vehicles in the US should contact their Ford dealer.
