Dallas based BAF Technologies is
following up on the success of their Ford Crown Victoria conversions
with plans to apply the same technology to three further engine models.
The 2007 Ford 6.8L engine is currently undergoing the required emission
tests needed for CARB and EPA certification, with the E350 and
F150 expected to follow.
The 6.8L E-450 is expected to be available beginning this
November. “The Crown Vic technology was so successful we are eager to
apply it to other Ford engine families,” says John Bacon, president.
“We expect the E450 to achieve similar results and will then move to
other products within the Ford truck line.” The Crown Vic and the
related engine family exceeded standards set by both CARB and EPA, and
the E450 is expected to do the same.
BAF will then move to certifying the E350, completing testing in
November and making the vehicle available in January, 2007. Both the
E450 and E350 are in high demand for use in fleets and shuttle vehicles.
BAF is also studying the market demand for the Ford F150 to determine
whether certification will be pursued. The company expects to determine
market opportunity by November and if viable, will complete
certification for the 2007 model year.
BAF continues to work closely with Clean Energy and SCAQMD in pursuit
of these certifications. Broadening the availability of vehicle types
will enable all teams to achieve their business goals.
Those interested in purchasing these vehicles should contact their Ford dealer.
