Chevrolet and GMC will offer new bi-fuel versions of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD trucks and all-new compressed natural gas (CNG) versions of the 2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans, GM revealed today at the Green Fleet Conference & Expo.
Chevrolet and GMC will offer the new bi-fuel engine, which can run on either gasoline or CNG, across their entire 2015 Silverado HD and Sierra HD lineups, in all cab styles and both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.

Moving on to the 2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana twins, the passenger vans will join the company’s dedicated CNG lineup that already includes cargo versions of the two vehicles. Production of both bi-fuel trucks and CNG vans is scheduled to commence early next year.

“With these new vehicles, General Motors offers the most comprehensive lineup of manufacturer-engineered, validated and warranted CNG vehicles, helping fleet managers manage their budget and reduce their carbon footprint,” said Ed Peper, US vice president, GM Fleet and Commercial Sales. “Natural gas is less costly at the pump and significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions, compared to other liquid fuels.”
