Nat G CNG Solutions, a Houston-based company specializing in compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle upgrades, has been selected as a Ford Motor Company Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM).

Ford instituted the QVM Program to improve quality assurance for Ford vehicle modifications, including natural gas vehicle upgrades.

CNG upgrades enable fleets to reduce their fuel cost 30 to 40 percent. Most of the Ford vehicles available for modification by Nat G come in a bi-fuel option that will seamlessly switch between natural gas and gasoline for added convenience when the driver is not near a natural gas fueling station. Nat G offers Ford qualified natural gas systems for the F150, F250, F350, F450, F550 and F650, as well as the Transit Connect van and the new full-sized Transit van. Nat G works with customers and dealers to find the best vehicle configuration to achieve their goals of increased function and lower cost of ownership.

Nat G has partnered with other Ford QVMs to offer multiple CNG solutions. Nat G is a manufacturer certified installer for natural gas engine systems from Altech Eco and also for Landi Renzo, the world’s leading manufacturer of natural gas vehicle systems. The company has provided Ford natural gas vehicle upgrades for leading local and national fleets, including Centerpoint Energy, Southwestern Energy, Boyer Construction, Apple Towing and many others.

In order to become a Ford QVM, a company must demonstrate to Ford that its engineering, manufacturing and installation processes meet Ford’s rigorous quality requirements. Because modifications meet Ford’s rigorous engineering and installation guidelines, vehicles upgraded by Nat G retain the full Ford powertrain warranty and can be serviced at any Ford CNG qualified dealership.
