2000 Ford Excursion: Dedicated propane demonstration program - The Excursion program will include a test fleet of dedicated propane models delivering a worldwide first for propane by exceeding California's SULEV (super ultra low-emission vehicle) standards.
- With emissions levels below SULEV, the propane Excursion sport utility vehicle will produce at least 62 percent less smog-forming tailpipe exhaust emissions than allowed.
- Ford-patented emission control technology helps decrease pollutants to levels never before attained with a propane vehicle.
Ford Motor Company, already a leader in both sport utility and alternative fuel vehicle development and sales, will offer a dedicated propane version of its new Excursion sport utility vehicle.
By applying patented Ford technology to Excursion, company engineers were able to do what no one has done before - deliver a cleaner truck that runs solely on propane. The propane Excursion will put out at least 62 percent less smog-forming tailpipe emissions than the government allows. In other words, it would take four propane Excursion vehicles to put out the same amount of smog-forming emissions as a typical new vehicle (Tier I certified). Tailpipe emissions include both hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
This Excursion pairs the clean-burning characteristics of propane with a Ford-patented advanced catalyst system and innovative engine control strategy. ....
