Asheville, N.C. (April 1, 2025) — At the end of 2024, Alliance AutoGas (AAG) achieved the milestone of having over 2,000 EPA-certified vehicle platforms qualified to run on autogas. The certifications were for the 2024 3.0L EcoBoost found in the Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor SUV and Lincoln Aviator, the 2024 3.5L EcoBoost in the Ford Transit and the 2024 6.6L L8T for their Silverado, Sierra, Express and Savanna models.
Adding the EcoBoost options to the Alliance AutoGas Engineered System portfolio further expands the engine offerings provided by AAG and their partners nationwide. Stephen Holland, VP of Engineering with AAG, said, “It’s exciting to have such a large number and wide variety of engine and vehicle platforms to operate on autogas. AAG has the largest library of EPA approvals, and we are proud to contribute to the shifting landscape of the automotive industry.”
EPA certification requires comprehensive and vigorous testing procedures, all predetermined to ensure that they meet the standards set by the EPA. Before receiving official certification, Alliance AutoGas Engineered Systems undergo a series of stringent tests, including rolling road dynamometer emissions testing and engine dynamometer cell testing. These evaluations are designed to measure the performance and emissions of autogas systems, ensuring that they adhere to all environmental and safety regulations.
Looking to the future, Holland says “Our commitment to innovation and quality drives us to continuously improve and expand our offerings. Each year, our dedicated team of engineers works tirelessly to develop and test bi-fuel systems tailored to new vehicle platforms. This ongoing research and development allows us to meet the evolving needs of fleets across the nation, offering them environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions for their vehicle fleets. With each new certification, we aim to provide efficient, reliable and sustainable options that support the future of fleet management and contribute to a cleaner environment.” He anticipates that in 2025, the AAG team will focus increasingly on autogas and electric vehicle hybridization to serve fleets in the transportation industry where EV alone underdelivers.
