Chevy, GMC announce CNG and LPG vans for fleets

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) powered versions of the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans will be offered to fleet and commercial customers beginning later this year, General Motors Co. has announced. The vans have specially designed engines for the gaseous fuels and come direct to the customer with the fully integrated and warranted dedicated gaseous fuel system in place.

“We are thrilled that General Motors is offering natural gas-fueled vans to commercial customers. This is a major step forward for natural gas fleets all over the country,” said Regina Hopper, President of America’s Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA). “Many cities from Dallas to Los Angeles and Oklahoma City to Boston have adopted natural gas-powered vehicles for a variety of different uses, and infrastructure continues to expand to fuel these vehicles. Now with GM’s announcement, companies and governments can purchase these vehicles directly from the automaker.
