ROUSH CleanTech Introduces Newest, Toughest Alternative Fuel Truck
March 8, 2011 — ROUSH CleanTech’s newest fleet workhorses are 6.8-liter V10 propane autogas-powered Ford F-450 and F-550 super duty chassis cabs designed to suit a wide range of uses including dump, landscape, flatbed, construction, waste, utility, freight, and more. This truck has massive capacity, exceptional maneuverability, and rugged construction. Based on today’s fuel prices a propane autogas Ford F-450 or F-550 will save at least $30,000 over a 200,000 mile-life of the vehicle, and will save over 120,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.
The propane autogas fuel system will be available for 2011 and later models; is equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission; and will work on all cab and wheelbase configurations, as well as 4×2 or 4×4 vehicles. ROUSH CleanTech plans to offer up to three tank configurations for the Ford F-450 and F-550 propane autogas fuel system — an in-bed tank and two under-bed tanks. The fuel tank choices will be able to be combined to conform to various body configurations and to meet the range requirements of their customers, including necessary Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resource Board (CARB) certification.
