Alternate Fuel Vehicles

The imperatives of reduced dependence on foreign oil and reduction of CO2 and other emissions have made alternate fuels a key area of automotive development. Livernois has been a part of key pilot programs of several new technologies over the years. Highlights of our projects are:

• Prototype CNG installations for a variety of field demonstrations, including police cars, taxis, pickup trucks, and buses
• Prototype Hydrogen ICE installations for small cars, pickup trucks, and shuttle buses
• Test rigs for cold weather development of Hydrogen ICE and CNG engines
• Portable hydrogen fuel carts for engine test cells
• Fuel system fabrication for CNG, propane, hydrogen, ethanol, and methanol
• Bi-Fuel cars and mail trucks

• Mileage accumulation testing for ULEV and SULEV CNG vehicles
• Supercharger packaging and performance development for H2 ICE applications
• Cylinder head development for CNG, LPG, and FFV applications
• Hydrogen fuel tank module
• Hybrid electric vehicle crash safety development
