Ford Pickup Has Dual Personality

摘要

Driving on alternative fuel can be complicated. The price of entry tends to be high, capability may be compromised, finding a filling station usually proves to be an adventure, and the cost of long-term maintenance is often sketchy. The benefits may include lower fueling costs, more energy security and reduced emissions. All of these factors apply to a bifuel 2014 Ford F-150 pickup that runs on gasoline and natural gas. Ford's F-Series pickup, the most popular vehicle in America, presents large-scale opportunities when operated on compressed natural gas (CNG). Last year, natural-gas vehicles saved 400 million gallons of gasoline on U.S. roads, according to one trade group, and emitted about 14% less greenhouse gas on light trucks.
