Comparing Bi-Fuel
and Hybrid Vehicles
So
what is the difference between hybrid and bi-fuel vehicles? Many
people hear these words, but don’t really know what they mean. So what
makes a bi-fuel vehicle unique? The main feature making unique is the
fact that it only uses one motor, even though it is compatible to
operate from two different fuel sources. These fuels are not mixed in
these green cars; instead each one of them must be contained in its own
fuel tank. The difference in a bi-fuel and a hybrid vehicle is that the
hybrid has two separate motors, that each run off of a different kind of
fuel. Consequently, a bi-fuel vehicle needs one less motor than a hybrid
vehicle needs.
Bi-Fuel Ford Vans and
Pickup Trucks
When it comes to bi-fuel pickup trucks and bi-fueled vans, Ford Motor
Company has taken the lead. They forged a partnership with BAF
Technologies in May of 2011, offering to consumers the bi-fuel F-250/350
pick-up trucks, along with their E-250/350 vans. BAF Technologies, Inc.
is a subsidiary of Clean Energy Fuels Corp (CLNE) a leader in natural
gas fueling stations. They were the very first company to achieve the
designation as a Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM). BAF created this
proprietary bi-fuel conversion for these Ford vehicles. This process
takes vans and pickup trucks that are “already manufactured,” and
changes the entire fuel system to include Compressed Natural Gas use.
OEM standards for quality are achieved through the process BAF uses.
Best 7 Passenger SUV
Vehicles – Great for Carpooling
When the first Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line on December 1,
1913, no one could have foreseen how that little car would someday morph
into a 7 passenger SUV.
The conventional four-door sedan is still America's most popular car. Vehicles like the Ford Fusion, the Toyota Camry, the Chevrolet Malibu and the Honda Accord account for more than 34% of US auto sales. However, larger, family-oriented vehicles like the -SUV have become more and more popular over recent years. They are safe, stable and roomy and just about perfect for large families. There are many non hybrids and some hybrid SUV’s with 3rd row seating.
