Costa Mesa, CA, April 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agility Fuel Solutions, a leading global provider of clean fuel solutions for heavy-duty commercial vehicles, revealed a new compressed natural gas (CNG) Morgan Olson walk-in step van during the Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) EXPO in Long Beach, California.
Agility developed an OEM-quality purpose-built CNG powertrain system, certified to meet regulatory requirements of the EPA. Morgan Olson and Freightliner Custom Chassis provided the body/chassis integrated design with Agility’s fuel management module and fuel storage system for clean end-to-end vehicle integration.
The vehicle uses an Agility 366NGTM natural gas engine, which is EPA certified and has CARB HD-OBD certification pending. The fully-integrated fuel system uses the Freightliner OEM fuel gauge, is engineered to OEM standards, and is purpose-built for the demands of the medium-duty industry. All fuel fill, filtration, pressure control, and defuel functions are integrated into a single module for ease of use and serviceability. Fuel storage options are available with a capacity of 30 or 33.4 gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE).
“We’re very excited to work with Morgan Olson to bring these walk-in vans to market. OEM-grade installation and integrated logistics will ensure seamless delivery of quality CNG vehicles to the customer", said Brad Garner, President of Agility’s Powertrain Systems business unit. “Also, as a leading CNG systems supplier for over 20 years, Agility can provide walk-in van customers with simple, one-stop alt fuels parts, service, and training throughout North America.”

This Agility CNG fuel solution adds value to the Morgan Olson and FCCC chassis combination that we look forward to offering our customers going forward."
