In late-October, Chrysler announced the first bi-fuel Ram 2500 CNG pickup trucks were rolling off the line in its Satillo Truck Assembly Plant in Mexico. Before this year, the vehicle was formerly only available to fleet customers.

“Once the Ram 2500 CNG was offered to fleets, a wave of requests on the retail side came in leading us to make it available to additional customers,” said Bob Hegbloom, Ram truck brand director, in an email to MLive Autos.

Hegbloom said the Auburn Hills-based automaker’s path to CNG-powered vehicles was thanks to working with the CNG industry to create a “factory-built CNG solution” and Fiat SpA, its majority-owned parent company that is one of the largest producers of CNG vehicles in the world.
