2
3. Partnering with IMPCO
• Collaborating on Engineering, Design and Testing
• IMPCO is a great company with extensive knowledge
about CNG
– 50 years in business
– Worldwide
• IMPCO does CNG conversions, but GM trucks are
different
3
4. GM’s Bi-fuel Trucks
• GM established the parameters
• GM did all of the validation work to ensure system meets
all
GM standards:
– Cold Start Validation — Down to -40° F
– Hot Start Validation — Up to 122° F
– Altitude Validation — No performance degradation
thru 10,000 ft.
– Corrosion Validation — Minimum of 10 yrs.
– Safety Testing — FMVSS and GM standards
– Full Vehicle Durability — Simulating 2 lives up to
200,000 miles
• IMPCO installs the system and is held to GM 4
5. GM Bi-fuel Truck Safety Testing
• Fully compliant with applicable motor vehicle safety
standards
• GM is mandating 6 tests for crashworthiness
– 2 frontal tests
– 1 side impact test
– 1 rear test
– 2 side impact pole tests

10. How the System Works:
• Truck always starts with gasoline
• System switches to CNG when engine reaches pre-
determined operating temperatures
• Driver can switch fuels at any time
• When CNG tank becomes empty, the system
automatically switches over to the gasoline tank
• Fuel gauge is installed directly
on the dash
– Simple and reliable
10
11. Superior Performance
• Combined range of 17 GGE CNG tank and 36 gallon
gasoline tank
is more than 650 miles
• Horsepower and torque are same when driving on
gasoline
– Minimal reduction with CNG due to the energy density
in natural gas
• Comparable towing capability
• Payload is only reduced by weight of CNG system (450
lbs)
• Drivability tests conducted throughout development
• Meets all Government FMVSS
and emission requirements
