Research and development of alternative fuel vehicle and alternative fuel power solutions is the business of AFVTech Inc., based in Phoenix, Arizona. Now it is applying its expertise to the development of a compressed natural gas hot rod based on a 1933 Ford Roadster.
According to a report carried by Green Car Advisor, AFVTech President Kevin Fern declared the company’s intention with the vehicle conversion is simply to make a statement that “natural gas can be fun to drive, fast and wrapped up in a package that will turn heads.
He added, “We are investing a lot of engineering time in this project, highlighting the technological advancements that we use in the Natural Drive Dedicated EPA Certified CNG retrofit systems.” The 600hp vehicle will apparently debut at the AFVI trade show in Las Vegas in May 2010.
