Customers who choose to use a CNG system for the two full-size vans will have to pay $15,910. This means that the vans, which start at $25,980, have a price of $41,890 with the CNG option.
The option includes a dedicated CNG system, a natural gas-capable Vortec 6.0-liter V8 engine, as well as heavy duty trailering equipment. GM claims that the move makes Chevrolet and GMC the only full line vehicle brands to offer a “check-the-box” CNG option for vans.
“Customers tell us coordinating the upfit for their CNG vehicles takes away valuable time that would be better used running their business,” said Joyce Mattman, director of Commercial Product and Specialty Vehicles. “Our CNG vans come with a fully integrated CNG fuel system, a comprehensive warranty, emissions compliance and strong dealer support, all for one price.”
The 6.0-liter V8 engine included in the package for the Chevrolet Express and the GMC Savana comes with hardened exhaust valves and intake & exhaust valve seats that offer improved wear resistance and durability with gaseous fuel systems.
“The vans will meet all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission certification requirements, and will be fully compliant with applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Each CNG Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana van also will be covered by GM’s three-year, 36,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty,” stated the press release.
