A Revolutionary New Way to Slash your Petrol Bill.
The Fuel of the Future!!
Thinking about the rising fuel costs and increasing pollution problems? If you are looking for a solution, its time you switched to CNG.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) can help you save upto 60% of your fuel costs.
Bi-Fuel: operates on gasoline or cng
Dedicated: operates on cng only
Dual-Fuel: operates on cng and diesel at same time (ex.70% cng & 30% diesel)

Federal NGV Grants - In an effort to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil, reduce urban emissions and reduce greenhouse gases, the federal government provides a number of grant programs to encourage the purchase and use of NGVs. Click to see a list of the grants or incentices available.
For Private Fleets and Government Fleets - If you are interested in converting your fleet to CNG, give us a call and we will work with you and come to a practical solution to fit your particular needs. We understand that every business with a fleet involved is not the same. For customers with fleets that qualify, we may cover 100% of the cost to convert to cng or lng in exchange for an affordable, long term fueling contract. Long term contracts give you a set price for cng, no matter what the market does.
Before you buy any new vehicles give us a call, we will provide you with information on which vehicles we can converted to cng, lng or lpg. We work with dealers to convert vehicle prior to your purchase from them, that way you are dealing straight with your dealer for purchase. We also know where to get pre-converted vehicles at a reasonable price, give us a call for info on vehicles.
School Buses - Clean School Bus Program.
This EPA program provides grants to school districts and related organizations for the replacement, repower or retrofit of school buses, the purchase of alternative fuels for school buses and alternative fuel infrastructure.
• Natural Gas Buses emit 50% less nitrogen oxides (NOx), 90% less sulphur oxides (SOx), and 97% less small particulates than conventional diesel buses.
• Over 30% of buses built in North America this year are natural gas powered.
• Thomas Built Buses, Inc., Ontario, Kitchener, London, Hamilton, Cornwall and Toronto all have natural gas powered buses.
• Los Angeles, Atlanta, Syracuse, Birmingham, Providence, Fort Worth, San Diego, among others, have adopted a policy of ONLY buying natural
gas powered buses.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has received 12 higher-capacity airfield buses that operate on compressed natural gas (CNG) from North American Bus Industries (NABI).
How is a vehicle converted to natural gas? Existing gasoline-powered vehicles have CNG components added at our conversion center and Natural Gas then becomes the primary fuel used. Storage cylinders are placed underneath vehicles like vans or pickup trucks, or in the trunk of vehicles like cabs and other cars. Stainless steel lines carry the fuel to a regulator (which reduces the pressure) in the engine compartment, then through a fuel-air mixer, and into the intake manifold to be introduced for combustion. There is a fuel selection switch (usually dash mounted) that allows the driver to manually select CNG or gasoline. A recent development has some conversion systems using fuel injection to supply the fuel directly into the combustion chamber.
This is how it works:
1. CNG enters the vehicle through the natural gas valve or receptacle (1) into high pressure cylinders (2).
2. When natural gas is required by the engine, it leaves the cylinders and passes through the master manual shut-off valve (3).
3. The gas enters the engine through the high pressure fuel line (4).
4. Gas enters the regulator (5), which reduces pressure from up to 3,000 psi (pounds per square inch) to approximate atmospheric pressure.
5. The natural gas solenoid valve (6) allows natural gas to pass from the regulator into the gas mixer or fuel injectors (7).
6. Natural gas mixed with air flows down through the carburetor or fuel injection system and enters the engine's combustion chambers.
Should I convert my vehicle? A quick, simple, payback analysis can be done, just give us a call at 828-210-8146 or use our online payback calculator.
Items needed for conversion quote:
1. How many miles do you put on your vehicle a year?
2.What are your driving habits; do you travel long distances?
3.Vehicle Specifications? - Make, Model, Year, Engine size in liters.
How much will it cost? The cost of a CNG conversion kit or retrofit can vary from vehicle to vehicle. Some vehicles recover cost converted or retrofitted in less than 3-6 months. Conversion Cost can start at around $8,000 and up to $50,000, depends on vehicle.
How is cng fuel stored? CNG is stored on board vehicles in high-pressure (3,000-3,600 pounds per square inch) in tube-shaped cylinders that are attached to the rear, top or undercarriage of the vehicle. The cylinders meet very rigorous safety standards. They are made of high-strength materials designed to withstand impact, puncture and, in the case of fire, their pressure relief devices (PRDs) provide a controlled venting of the gas rather than letting the pressure build up in the tank.
How is original manufacturers warranty affected? The Clean Air Act approves epa certified conversions for vehicles converted to operate on a clean fuel, which means your warranty can not be voided.
Before you buy a vehicle please give us a call to explain how it works for cng conversions. If you purchase the wrong engine platform we will not be able to convert your vehicle.
