Ford Makes Progress With CNG-Capable Vehicles

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford is making great progress with CNG-capable vehicles, as they announce that the first CNG-capable 2014 Ford F-150 has rolled off the line in Kansas City. With the introduction of this alternative fuel vehicle, Ford has also revealed that they will have eight other vehicles on the market with the same fuel option by next summer.

By offering vehicles with CNG capabilities, Ford will make great strides in becoming a cleaner and more efficient company. CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is a much cleaner and cheaper fuel option than regular gasoline, which means Ford drivers will save money at the pump. While you're saving money on gas, you'll also be reducing your carbon footprint since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has confirmed that CNG usage results in up to 30 percent less greenhouse gas emissions. This is mostly due to the fact that CNG is comprised of methane, a cleaner burning gas. As a bonus, 85 percent of the CNG used in the U.S. is produced domestically!

With so many great reasons to use CNG, many Ford fleet customers are rushing to purchase the alternative fuel vehicle. It is because of this demand that Ford has decided that they will be adding to the CNG-capable vehicle options and offer eight CNG-capable commercial vehicles by the summer of 2014. These vehicles will be:

• 2014 F-150 light-duty pickup
• F53 and F59 stripped chassis
• F-650 medium-duty truck
• F-Series Super Duty chassis Cab (F-450, F-550)
• F-Series Super Duty pickup and F-350 chassis cab
• E-Series van, wagon, cutaway and stripped chassis
• Transit van, wagon, cutaway and chassis cab
• Transit Connect van and wagon

CNG-Compatible Ford F-150 To Be Sold in 2014

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford has announced that a CNG-Compatible Ford will be sold in 2014, making it the only half-ton pickup of its kind.  CNG stands for compressed natural gas, and is a great alternative to petroleum for multiple reasons - it's cheaper, it emits less carbon dioxide, and it's something that the United State has a lot of.

After purchasing a Ford F-150, you will need to have a CNG/LPG system installed which typically costs anywhere from $7,500-$9,500 - something that's not cheap. However, it's something to consider when you think of the amount of money you spend on gas per year. A gallon of natural gas is a lot cheaper, with the national average being just over $2.00 - in some states, it's going for less than $1.00.

Not to mention you'll be using a fuel source that is domestically produced and is better for the environment.

If you are worried about not being able to find a place to fill up your CNG vehicle, not to worry. With a vehicle as popular as the F-150 taking natural gas, places that sell the fuel should pop up pretty quickly. There is also a home fueling system available for houses that are heated by natural gas. Not to mention, these Ford F-150s will also take gasoline if you find yourself in a pinch.

While the CNG-compatible Ford F-150 is to be sold in the 2014 model, production of the F-150s fitted with the prep kit will begin in November. However, Ford will start taking orders in August.
