Alternative Fuel Market
Gasoline and diesel have been the dominant fuel sources for the transportation and off-road equipment industries for a century. Today approximately 80% of worldwide oil extraction is used for such applications.
As concerns over global warming and energy security have gained importance at all levels of government, environmentally friendly alternative fuels such as CNG and LPG have gained prominence in the market place.
To the end customer, considerable increases in traditional fuel prices have made CNG and LPG an attractive economical solution. The cost of alternative fuels varies by country depending upon their national policy, their access to fuel resources, and availability of nation-wide fuel distribution networks. However, consumers with access to all fuel types typically
pay considerably less for LPG or CNG compared to gasoline or diesel.

Engineering Services
TeleflexGFI has extensive in-house expertise developing, installing and calibrating complete fuel management systems. Our ability to move from design concept to full-scale production for OEM and aftermarket systems makes TeleflexGFI an ideal development partner for alternative fuel programs. We have worked extensively with automotive OEMs such as Ford, GM, Volvo and Volkswagen to develop fuel management systems which are totally integrated with the base engine. Now we have taken that engineering experience to develop systems in the Off Road Industrial market.
Each year in the automotive industry, new vehicle models are released with changes to the engine, chassis, and/or interior of the vehicle. To ensure total customer satisfaction, TeleflexGFI works with our customers to update the bi-fuel system or component configuration to accommodate these changes. As a result, we offer systems that work with the newest automotive technology.
In addition, our complete range of vehicle/engine test cells and dynamometers
allow us to run and test what we design and build. We are one of the few
companies whose emission testing results are acceptable to agencies such
as EPA and
CARB.
If your company has an alternative fuel issue which needs examining please contact us.
