The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has certified model-year 2014 Westport WiNG Ford F-150 pickup trucks with dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) systems and the 3.7-liter Ford engine. These vehicles come equipped with either 17 GGE or 23 GGE of on-board CNG storage.
Westport says it is the only natural gas vehicle conversion specialist to offer a CARB-certified Ford F-150 truck. The conversions, which are conducted through Ford's Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) program, are also certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Westport has also received EPA certification for its model-year 2015 Ford F-250 and F-350 bi-fuel CNG conversions. These Westport WiNG system installations are performed on Super Duty trucks with the 6.2-liter engine and are also available with a 17 GGE or 23 GGE tank. Westport also offers custom CNG-storage systems using underbody tanks.
As a Ford QVM, all Westport NGV conversions undergo the same safety testing required for Ford OEM products, and the original vehicle warranty remains intact following the conversion.
