EPA certifies 488LPI propane engine for 2020

Agility Fuel Solutions received 2020 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification for its 488LPI propane engine for sale in truck and bus applications. The 488LPI is built using the company’s liquid propane injection (LPI) technology to ensure consistent injection of propane in the liquid state across all cylinders and under all operating conditions. The engine is designed for reliability, says Agility, with improvements such as a valve train with roller rockers and newly designed dress parts. A custom configuration of the 488LPI engine is supplied to Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. (FCCC) as part of the DriveForce brand of engines. The DriveForce 8.0L is available in the Thomas Built Buses’ Saf-T-Liner C2 propane school bus and in the FCCC S2G medium-duty truck.
