Green Bridge Technologies, LLC (GBT), the new CNG division of leading LPG system supplier ICOM North America, is launching their new brand with a 30-day road trip that includes a stop here in Pittsburgh in conjunction with our Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities Coalition meeting on Wednesday February 24th. GBT representatives will be driving a dedicated CNG Chevy Trax® featuring Crazy Diamond Performance™ technology. The Trax® is a compact SUV with the fuel economy of a car and the versatility of a full size SUV. Its highly efficient and super clean 1.4L turbo-charged engine delivers 130Hp/150ft-lb torque and, with 35/25mpg (hwy/city) fuel economy, its 8.5GGE fuel capacity easily translates into a range of 240-250+ miles.
EPA certification to Tier 2 Bin 2 emissions levels is pending. GBT’s other initial dedicated CNG vehicle line-up includes Chevy’s Cruze® and Sonic®, both featuring GM’s 1.8L engine and 8.5GGE fuel capacity. Additional GM platforms are in development and certification testing. GBT’s launch starts with participation at the Transportation Energy Partner’s Energy Independence Summit slated for February 8th-10th in Washington, DC, followed by road trip stops up the Mid-Atlantic coast, then heading west through upstate New York and down through Pittsburgh before heading on to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
