Dual-fuel beauties: now Running on cng Six new dual-fueled CNG demo cars debuted at the Alternative Clean Transportation Expo held in Washington in late June. Part of the new Add Natural Gas campaign launched by America’s Natural Gas Alliance and AGA, the cars were developed to show business leaders, policymakers, and the public how natural gas can be used to power an array of everyday transportation without compromising vehicle performance. The vehicles—a BMW X3, Chrysler 300, Ford Mustang GT, GMC Acadia, Honda CRV, and Hyundai Sonata—employ dual-fuel powertrains that transition seamlessly between gasoline and CNG, as demanded by driving conditions and fuel levels. “The main goal of the Add Natural Gas campaign is to show that consumers have a choice in fueling their vehicles using technology that exists today,” ANGA’s Robert Sumner told American Gas. “When consumers choose to add natural gas, they do not have to sacrifice the style or performance of their vehicle while enjoying the cost savings of natural gas.” —Gary James august/september 2013 AmericAn GAs 7
