Baytech Announces EPA/CARB CNG Engine Certifications

Baytech Corporation has received 2006 and 2007 EPA and CARB certifications for its compressed natural gas (CNG)-fueled GM 6.0L heavy-duty engines, and medium to light-duty vehicles equipped with the GM 6.0L engine. Heavy-duty engines are available in both dedicated CNG and bi-fuel (CNG or gasoline) configurations in all 50 states. Dedicated CNG medium and light-duty vehicles are available in all 50 states and are certified SULEV. Bi-fuel is available only in states that do not require CARB standards.

The Baytech heavy-duty CNG 6.0L engine models are certified for use in the GM Topkick/Kodiak C Series and W4500, Isuzu NPR HD, GM Express/Savana Cutaway, and Workhorse heavy-duty vehicles, with gross vehicle weight ratings ranging from 14,000 to 37,600 pounds.

Medium to light duty-vehicles certified include the GM W3500, Isuzu NPR, Workhorse chassis, GM Silverado/Sierra 2500HD/3500 Classic pickup trucks and Chassis Cab, and the GM Express/Savana Full-Size Van Cutaway. All dedicated CNG medium and light- duty vehicles are certified SULEV.

The Baytech engine families have been designed and built to achieve the lowest California emission standards possible for each weight class.
