Market-driven efficiency

Advanced engineering

Natural gas is an abundant, reliable and cleaner-burning fuel than both
gasoline and diesel for consumer and commercial vehicles. For fleet
owners in particular (including everything from taxis and transit buses
to long-haul semi trailers), CNG presents an opportunity to dramatically
reduce fuel costs and make an immediate, direct, positive impact on the
bottom line.

GE’s CNG In A Box™ system makes it faster, easier and cheaper for fleet
operators to fuel up their natural gas vehicles (NGVs). It also enables
regional gas companies to better serve NGV owners – including individual
consumers and organizations alike.

We designed the compact, turnkey solution with technical specifications and
scope of supply to optimize end-user CAPEX and OPEX.

The CNG In A Box system has passed GE’s strict ecomagination qualification
process, meaning it delivers both business and environmental benefits.

• CNG can reduce fuel cost by 40-50%, or more than $2,200 per vehicle annually.*

• CNG combustion is also immensely better for the environment. The much cleaner-burning fuel

reduces CO
– and its CO, NOx, PM and VOC reduction benefits are even greater.

emissions by 24% (2.2 metric tons per vehicle, per year as compared with gasoline*)

GE Oil & Gas has brought together the breadth and depth of its engineering
experience in multiple areas to create this fully integrated turnkey CNG
fueling system.

The CNG In A Box system is designed and packaged with our own advanced
technologies – from the critical core compressor through to valves, pumps,
monitoring, control, electronics and dispensers. The result is a highly compact
configuration that is incredibly easy to order, install, operate and maintain.

* Assuming average light-duty vehicles travel 27,400 miles/year at 17 mpg, with $3.49/gal gasoline

and $2.10/gal CNG per gasoline gallon equivalent.

Turnkey roadside

solution

The CNG In A Box system is an innovative solution
that includes everything needed for final operation
– preconfigured in a modified 8' x 20' ISO shipping
container and ready for installation.

Designed for safety & efficiency

GE’s CNG In A Box system is built in accordance
with NFPA 52, the National Fire Protection Association’s
Standard for Vehicular Gaseous Fuel Systems Code.
ASME, ANSI, ISO, API and other standards are followed
in the design process.
