Altech-Eco Corp. of Asheville, NC, has obtained a certificate of conformity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its 2010 Ford Transit Connect compressed natural gas (CNG) conversion system. The conversion allows the vehicle to run entirely on natural gas, making it the only EPA-certified 2010 CNG system for the 2010 Transit Connect worldwide, the company said. Households or companies can receive a $4,000 federal income tax credit by purchasing the vehicle. A bi-fuel option using both CNG and gasoline is also available. The CNG conversion system for the Transit Connect is now available at participating Ford dealers and approved aftermarket conversion facilities, or by contacting Altech-Eco.
