Guess you’ve all heard about GM rolling out bi-fuel (CNG/Gasoline) pickups.

The engine will accomplish these savings without sacrificing power, torque or fuel efficiency

Okay, how about range and practicality (e.g. how many truck stops have CNG)?

If I could be president for 1 minute, I would sign an executive order stating that “For national security reasons, every commercial vehicle using federally funded roads has to use fuel derived from natural gas by Dec. 31, 2112.”

Through advanced high pressure diesel ignition technology – using trace amounts of diesel to ignite the natural gas

Interesting. I wonder what makes this more efficient than a spark ignition?

I saw a 100% electric Frito-Lay truck last week in Northern Va. It was bigger than the usual large size van. It seemed to accelerate the same as a regular truck. What was really strange was coming up along side, there was no noise other than the tires on the pavement.

Natural Gas ... humm.
Where the heck is the trucker going to fill that thing up when doing cross country runs?

Or would these engins be in trucks for local deliveries only where they will be filled up at a home base?
