Last Friday President Obama reiterated his commitment to a sustained, all-of-the-above energy strategy and urged Congress to take up common-sense proposals that will further reduce dependence on oil, better protect consumers from spikes in gas prices, and reduce pollution. He called for an Energy Security Trust, a proposal that sets aside $2 billion over 10 years and that will support research into a range of cost-effective technologies – like advanced vehicles that run on electricity, homegrown biofuels, fuel cells, and domestically produced natural gas.

The NGV product distribution partnership is with National Energy Equipment (NEE), Canada’s largest energy equipment distributor, which will be able to offer the complete line of Landi Renzo USA CARB and EPA certified CNG systems on various vehicle platforms. The relationship between NEE and Landi Renzo extends back to 2009, when NEE became the official distributor in Canada for Landi Renzo S.p.A.

As a Ford Motor Company Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM), the subsidiary of Landi Renzo SpA recently announced that its CNG bi-fuel system for the Ford Super Duty trucks with the 6.8L engine will be soon available as part of the company’s lineup of natural gas vehicles.

Yesterday, at the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, D.C., the President stated: “I propose we use some of our oil and gas revenues to fund an Energy Security Trust that will drive new research and technology to shift our cars and trucks off oil for good.” He also expressed that he wanted to work with the Congress to boost the research and technology “that helps natural gas burn even cleaner and protects our air and our water.”
