Venchurs,
which attended the 2012 SEMA Show, towed a customized VWerks’ vehicle
from Detroit to Las Vegas and back using a converted bi-fuel Ford F-350.
Adrian, MI (Nov., 2012) –Venchurs Vehicle Systems, a CNG Converter for Ford, attended the 2012 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas Oct. 29-Nov. 2 with its sister company, VWerks.
A 2012 bi-fuel powered Ford F-350 made the trek from Michigan to Las
Vegas and back towing one of the custom vehicles VWerks’ debuted at the
show.
The
road trip, which covered nearly 4,000 miles total, was designed to
address two of the biggest concerns surrounding compressed natural gas
powered vehicles—infrastructure and loss of power. The bi-fuel model
eliminates any concern over range anxiety with its combined range of
over 650 miles, and with CNG prices nearing half the cost of regular
gasoline in some places, the savings of using CNG on a road trip are
immense.
Venchurs
is pleased to report that as expected, there was no noticeable
reduction in towing capabilities while running on CNG. The bi-fuel Ford,
which towed a 10,000 plus pound trailer over 4,000 miles performed
exceptionally well.
“We
understand that infrastructure and loss of power are two of the biggest
concerns to those contemplating the adoption of CNG powered vehicles,”
said Jeff Wyatt, CEO of Venchurs. “Through careful planning, you can
drive across the country on CNG, and what is great about our bi-fuel
option is that you don’t have to worry about running out of the
fuel—when necessary you can use regular gasoline and still reap immense
savings.”
Venchurs
offers both CNG dedicated and bi-fuel conversions of Ford Super Duty
trucks as a QVM (Qualified Vehicle Modifier) for Ford Motor Company.
