Worthington Industries Introduces Two New CNG Fuel System Products for Medium and Heavy Duty Truck Markets
April 23 2018 - 4:32PM
Worthington Industries’ Alternative Fuels business announced today
two new compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system products: an Above
Frame Back of Cab and next-generation Top of Body system. These
additions further expand one of the widest CNG fuel system
portfolios in the medium and heavy-duty markets.
“Our new Above Frame Back of Cab and next-generation Top of Body
units build on our history of designing innovative fuel systems for
demanding environments,” said Wayne Powers, general manager of
Alternative Fuels for Worthington Industries. “We’ve worked closely
with customers to design systems based on route requirements and
preferred truck chassis,” said Powers. “By matching the right fuel
system and truck application, long-term benefits of CNG conversions
are achieved.”
The Above Frame Back of Cab fuel system relies on Worthington’s
patented vertical tank design, positioned to minimize system
footprint. It takes up less frame space, sits closer to the cab and
requires fewer cylinders to maximize fuel capacity. Designed for
technician safety and straightforward maintenance, all valves are
installed at the base of the system, which does not require service
techs to leave the ground. Multiple system sizes offer capacity
options from 62 to 103 Diesel Gallon Equivalent (DGE). For
long-haul applications requiring ranges higher than 103 DGE, the
system is compatible with other rail mount systems from Worthington
to achieve over 200 DGE combined.
Replacing an existing design, the next-generation Top of Body
CNG fuel system from Worthington is designed for refuse vehicles.
With multiple mounting bracket options, the fuel system is
compatible with a variety of different body and chassis designs.
The system advancements deliver a simplified design that weighs
approximately 15 percent less than the former product, while
offering greater cylinder protection. Worthington offers the next
generation Top of Body system in configurations of 60, 75, and 95
DGE.
