GM Launches Natural Gas and Liquefied Petroleum Variants of Chevy Express and GMC Savana

GM is launching two new alternative fuel engine choices for the 2011 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana twins. Fleet and commercial customers will be able to buy the vans equipped with CNG (compressed natural gas) or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) fuel systems.

Cargo vans with CNG capability will be available this fall, while cutaway bodystyles (which can be turned into buses, delivery vehicles, and more) powered by LPG will arrive early next year. The Express and Savana will continue to use a 6.0-liter V-8 engine, but with a hardened valvetrain and a new fuel injection system fed by the proper storage tanks. The vehicles are fully EPA and CARB compliant, and come with a 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty.
