Baker Equipment announces a partnership with Baytech Corporation of Los Altos, California to expand their existing alternative fuel vehicle conversion capabilities. Baker's partnership with Baytech will include the ability to convert EPA and CARB certified CNG fuel injection systems for Chevrolet, GMC, Isuzu and Workhorse Custom Chassis. This partnership comes in addition to Baker's partnership with BAF Technologies of Dallas, Texas, in which Baker upfits BAF's CalComp™ CNG engine systems for Ford vehicles.

Baker and Baytech's collaboration will expand alternative fuel vehicle conversion capacity to the east coast via Baker's four locations, including Pottstown, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; Raleigh, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia. Baytech will train Baker technician's onsite to install all multi-point fuel injection systems in accordance with Baytech, CARB and EPA standards. All Baker locations will provide labor for warranty and service repairs, greatly increasing east coast availability for service work.

"We believe the new Baytech alliance will benefit a large number of Baker's current and prospective customer's that own and operate GM gas-powered vehicles," says Ronn Jones, Vice President of Business Development for Baker Equipment. "Baytech's product offering covers a majority of GM's light and medium duty vehicles. These are proven products that have EPA and CARB 2009 certifications. We are excited about representing the Baytech product and giving our customers the availability of one-stop shopping for all their upfitting and CNG conversion needs. Our 90 years of truck equipment industry experience, coupled with our successful AFV project experience, will provide our customers a unique opportunity to promote Green Fleet initiatives, while dealing with two industry leaders."

Baker Equipment is dedicated to facilitating the growth of alternative fuel vehicle use. This partnership will allow Baker to increase its offerings to a steadily growing market and the increased demand for alternative fuel vehicles while promoting independence from foreign oil.
