The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Bi-fuel is a regular working-man’s truck that’s able to run on regular gasoline and compressed natural gas (CNG). What makes the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Bi-fuel compelling is in the way they integrate the CNG into the truck. The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Bi-fuel will start and stop on regular gas and it can run on either at the flick of a dash-mounted toggle switch.
The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Bi-fuel’s intake is the same for either fuel. The CNG tank for the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Bi-fuel is mounted in the bed, cleverly hidden in a container that looks like a bed-mounted tool box. The box is covered in a spray-in-bed-liner-like coating and there is a small, (somewhat) hidden access panel on the driver’s side of the vehicle for CNG filling.
What the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Bi-fuel does is create a viable financial and environmental option for serious heavy duty trucks.
