(RSS feed) on Feb 18th 2011 at 11:03AM Last fall, General Motors announced that commercial fleet customers could order the full-size GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express vans outfitted with either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fuel systems. Now, GM has expanded its LPG option to include the 2012 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana cutaway 3500 and 4500 vans. The pair of cutaway vans will be produced at GM's Wentzville, MO facility and transported to nearby Knapheide Manufacturing Co. for fitment of the 49- or 75-gallon capacity LPG fuel system. After the LPG kit is lodged in place, the cutaway vehicles are shipped out to upfitters for install of body components to ready the vans for various commercial applications. The cutaway vans come packing a modified version of GM's Vortec 6.0-liter engine and are covered under The General's standard three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain and emissions warranty.
