Sunny DeWakar, CEO of NGV Motori USA and Dean Sloane, Managing  Director of Clean Vehicle Solutions LLC, issued a joint statement confirming  the EPA’s approval of a Diesel-to-CNG dedicated package for the diesel  International DT 466 series engine. 

  The availability of the DT 466 series engine is an important  landmark due to its popularity in the school/transit bus and delivery truck  market and forms an integral part of the two companies’ ongoing collaboration  in meeting the needs of the rapidly expanding demand for vehicles powered by  CNG.

  The companies have already partnered together to successfully  engineer, fabricate and install the first EPA-certified, dedicated diesel to  CNG conversion package for the Mercedes 906 Engine.  This new DT 466  package significantly expands the number of vehicles that can now utilize  clean, less polluting fuel in the nation’s large metropolitan areas.

  Conversions may be done on any of the Diesel DT 466 series  engines model years 2005-2010. NGV Motori, USA/CVS’s partnership is also making  available EPA-certified, CNG Dedicated Conversion for the Ford E 450 Super duty  6.8L V10 engine and the E350 Super Duty 5.4L gas engine. Models created up  through 2007 are eligible for conversion. 

  This strategic collaboration between NGV Motori and CVS  positions the two companies to continue to lead in the rapidly expanding light  and heavy-duty CNG vehicle markets in the United States.

  According to Sloane, “CVS  has just moved into a new, larger headquarters in West Nyack, NY, a move made  possible by the continued rise in the popularity of CNG as an alternative fuel  for more and more Class 2 through Class 8 vehicles.“  And  according to Sunny DeWakar, CEO Of NGV Motori, USA,  “CVS brings tremendous qualifications,  experience and innovation to the market, and we are extremely pleased to  continue our close working partnership with them, to provide our CNG packages  to the marketplace.”
