Edge Products and Go Natural CNG Launch JV Project

A new joint development agreement was signed yesterday by Edge Products and Go Natural CNG, who will be now collaborating on the creation of vehicle programming, electronics, sensors, monitors and controls for dedicated compressed natural gas vehicles and bi-fuel (CNG and gasoline) powered engines.

A dash-mounted programmer with a 4.3-inch color touch screen will be the most important component developed by the two companies.

The color screen provides real-time monitoring of vital engine information through an interactive display, but it can also act as a control unit that allows bi-fuel applications to be switched between gasoline and CNG fuel.

"Some of our competitors CNG bi-fuel kits require the installer to splice 24 or more wires and to drill out the intakes. The kits we are developing with Edge Products will only require one wire to be intercepted and no drilling of the intakes is required,” Tim Hunt, CEO of Go Natural CNG, said in a release.

“The kits we are developing will include the most accurate and easy to read CNG fuel gauges available. This is because the gauges monitor fuel temperature and tank pressure and create an intuitive digital display based on the calculated results," added Hunt.

Users can display up to eight engine data parameters at one time, including RPM, MPH, fuel temperature, CNG fuel level, water temperature, exhaust gas temperature. The addition of an optional camera will also allow the screen to be utilized as a back-up camera display.

Dave Martinez, President of Edge Products, commented that he is very pleased to be working with Go Natural CNG because "the combination of Edge's industry leading expertise in the area of vehicle electronics with Go Naturals expertise in CNG products will result in the most dependable, efficient, environmentally-responsible and user-friendly products available to date."
