The Vortec 6.0-liter V8 in Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD trucks can automatically switch from gasoline to natural-gas fueling and back
March 5, 2012 - General Motors added a factory-installed option for natural-gas bi-fuel versions of the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD extended cab pickups. Buyers can order the trucks beginning in April. These vehicles will be powered by a Vortec 6.0-liter V8 engine that can run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and gasoline.
“Our customers are going to be able to get this truck in either a long bed or a short bed,” says Mike Jones, General Motors' CNG product manager. It will be available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. “So there are lots of ways to configure this vehicle for various customer needs.”
CNG can reduce your cost of ownership. “CNG is unique in that it is not attached to the price of oil,” says Joyce Mattman, director, GM commercial product and specialty vehicles. “Over time, it has maintained a lower retail price than both gasoline and diesel fuel.” read more>>>
