Besides the partnership with Michelin, VVS is also working with several national parks to build a CNG Search & Rescue Ford F250 four-wheel drive extreme-duty truck to demonstrate the viability of natural gas for park fleet use. This unit is designed, engineered and equipped as a “hardened” vehicle to operate in the harshest California desert environments to the frozen extremes of the Rockies in the role of Search & Rescue, law enforcement, avalanche control and environmental education and research.
Each CNG conversion will be performed at the Venchurs’ state-of-the-art 135,000 square foot conversion facility in Adrian, Michigan. The modified vehicles maintain their original Ford warranty, and all conversions are monitored and inspected by Quality Control technicians.
