Shuttle bus with Ford E-450 chassis
Westport has named A-1 Alternative Fuel Systems of Elkhart, Indiana as its exclusive national distributor for compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems targeting the growing shuttle bus market, which utilize the E-450 and F-450/550 chassis.
Apart from Elkhart, A-1 Alternative Fuel Systems is also present in Fresno, California. Both alternative fuel conversion facilities are recognized by Ford under their Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) program.
“Combining Westport’s extensive background as a Ford QVM approved system developer and A-1’s depth of experience in the shuttle bus industry, this partnership provides customers with a strong support network nationwide,” says Paul Shaffer, Vice President and Managing Director of Westport’s DOEM, North America Business.
