The Ford E450 Chassis from Green Alternative Systems CNG Shuttle Meets the Strict California CARB Standards

For years, California has led the way in clean-air and environmental standards.  As a center of production and technological innovation for decades, California has experienced firsthand the problems associated with global warming and pollution... but it also put the state in a perfect position to take the lead in advancing new ideas in clean living like CNG shuttles and other vehicles.

"California is now pushing towards a target of 80% emissions reductions by 2050" - a bold plan that, if successful in hitting its milestones, could blaze the trail for other states and countries to follow.  As a result, the clean-air standards set forth by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) are the strictest in the nation.  

It's a great standard for the environment, but it can present a real challenge to a wide variety of shipping and transportation companies working in and around California.

CARB standards are becoming increasingly enforced in-state, and those doing business in California need alternative vehicles capable of meeting state standards.

The Ford E450 Chassis system, a Green Alternative Systems exclusive, is one of the few Compressed Natural Gas
(CNG) shuttles and multipurpose vehicles available in California that's up to the challenge.

Meet the Ford E450 Cutaway Chassis CNG System

Green Alternative Systems is one of the few alternative fuel installers fully certified by Ford as a Qualified Vehicle Modifier, capable of placing a variety of CNG systems within an E450 while still receiving full warranty support.

This multipurpose cab can be easily used for personal shuttles, transportation, logistics, and more. In fact, GAS recently concluded a landmark project -in collaboration with Landi Renzo- to outfit 600 E450 vehicles for UPS with CNG power.  These vehicles are indistinguishable from the typical iconic brown UPS truck, but utilize eco-friendly natural gas systems under the hood.

Our modified CNG E450s are fully certified under CARB regulations, as well as by the EPA.  They also come with the most comprehensive list of safety features in the CNG industry.  Depending on your needs, several different CNG engines can be installed - the largest selection available on the market.

There are few superior options for outfitting a fleet of Ford vehicles with CNG systems than Green Alternative Systems.  We're industry-leaders in both performance and safety, while maintaining all the physical and warranty protections you would expect from a dealer-direct purchase.
