“We are proud the City of Chicago will utilize our fuel systems to convert its expanding fleet of popular General Motors trucks and vans from gasoline to CNG,” said Rob Lykins, Director of Sales & Marketing at Impco Automotive, a business unit of Fuel System Solutions, Inc. “Our CNG conversion systems enable fleet operators as well as individual vehicle owners to significantly lower their operating costs and reduce emissions while reducing our country’s reliance on foreign oil.”

The dedicated CNG fuel systems will be installed on the Chevrolet Express Vans at Impco’s alternative fuels conversion plant in Union City, Indiana, in conjunction with its partnership with General Motors. The fuel systems for the Silverado pickup trucks will be installed by Impco Automotive’s Certified Installation Partner, Auto Truck Group, in Bartlett, Illinois.

It is worth mentioning that General Motors Co., Chevrolet's parent company, produced 16,000 compressed natural gas-powered vehicles last year for commercial and municipal fleets.
