Momentum introduces side side-mount CNG fuel systems for mixers

June 10, 2021
The smaller diameter system can be installed on any brand of chassis with any of the major brands of mixer bodies

Momentum Fuel Technologies now offers its compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system in a smaller diameter side-mount 32 and 55 diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) system. The smaller diameter system is integrated on the frame rail of the truck, so it provides customers with best-in-class ground clearance, beneficial for construction and vocational customers, while still offering fuel capacity comparable to other systems, according to MFT.

The smaller diameter side-mount system can be installed on any brand of chassis with any of the major brands of mixer bodies. This new system was designed and built based on Momentum’s existing platform, with the same components, plumbing, mounting arms, torsion beams for protection and color-coded fuel lines for safety. 

Momentum systems also come equipped with neck-mounted cylinders manufactured by Luxfer, the world’s largest manufacturer of high-pressure composite and aluminum cylinders, the company notes. 

“With this new system, customers can expect the quality, durability and safety Momentum is known for, now with substantially more ground clearance, which is especially important to vocational customers spending a great deal of time off road,” said Mike Zimmerman, General Manager, Momentum Fuel Technologies. 

With a focus on safety, this fuel system includes an alloy steel end plate and multiple aluminum extrusions to protect the cylinder.  The smaller diameter side-mount systems can be integrated with Momentum’s fuel management module, for faster installation requiring less frame space. 

“Many of Momentum’s technological features focus on driver confidence, and now with the higher clearance of our new side-mount system, mixer customers can consider CNG trucks more than ever before,” Zimmerman said.  “Further, we offer a streamlined installation process with our partner Custom Vehicle Solutions, for added customer convenience.”

Momentum Fuel Technologies offers support from design and manufacturing, to sales and ongoing service throughout the product life cycle with our nationwide dealer support network.  Momentum’s GreenLync 2.0 enhanced electronics communication system uses the most advanced proprietary technologies to provide valuable real-time information to drivers, fleet managers and technicians to effectively manage, diagnose and service CNG vehicles.
