High Point, N.C. – Oct. 22, 2013 – Today Thomas Built Buses announced it will further expand its alternative-powered product offerings with the pilot production of a Minotour® school bus fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). Pilot production starts now with the official production start set for early 2014.

The new Type A CNG Minotour, which will be converted by IMPCO Automotive, will utilize a GM 6-liter engine on the 4,500 series cutaway chassis. The 30-passenger bus will utilize Type 1 CNG tanks with a 26 gasoline-gallon equivalent fuel capacity. It will be CARB-certified and exceed EPA 2010 emissions requirements.

Thomas Built’s green vehicle lineup also includes the propane-fueled Minotour and HDX CNG models. A propane-fueled offering of the innovative Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2 bus will be available in early 2014.

The CNG Minotour will be converted at the IMPCO Automotive Union City facility, an ISO 9001-2008 certified manufacturing facility which produces on average 3,000 – 5,000 vehicle conversions per year. IMPCO Automotive is a division of Fuel Systems Solutions, which is a publically traded company on the Nasdaq Stock Market Inc.
