Abstract:

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) contracted with conversion

companies in six states to convert approximately 900 light-duty Federal fleet

vehicles to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas

(LPG). Aftermarket conversions can play an important role in the transition to

the more widespread use of alternative fuel vehicles. In this program, they have

been successful in helping the Federal government meet the vehicle acquisition

requirements of EPACT, establishing infrastructure, and increasing the

displacement of imported oil. The disappointing emissions performance to date

of these closed-loop feedback kits, however, raises the question of their

overall emissions contribution to the environment. This is especially important

when considering converting the latest model year vehicles, which have been

certified to the lower (Tier 1) emissions standards. 19p.
