COMPREHENSIVE EXPERTISE IN RETROFITTING
With its expertise in engineering and development of vehicles and engines using alternative fuels, CRMT has been offering diesel engine conversions to CNG, H2, or ethanol for various types of vehicles for many years.
WHY CHOOSE CNG, H2, OR E100 RETROFITTING?
Retrofitting, or converting diesel vehicles, addresses the current challenges of the energy transition. In response to new regulations, engine manufacturers, vehicle builders, and operators are encouraged to adopt more environmentally friendly mobility solutions. Retrofitting emerges as a strategic alternative, enabling the extension of vehicle lifespans while significantly reducing their carbon footprint.
The benefits of retrofitting are numerous :
- Extending vehicle lifespan: Convert your existing vehicles into sustainable solutions to meet environmental standards without the need to invest in new ones.
- Reducing pollutant emissions: Switching to alternative fuels such as hydrogen, natural gas, or ethanol helps minimize your carbon footprint.
- Access to LEZs: Enable your vehicles to operate in Low Emission Zones (LEZs) where the most polluting vehicles, including diesel-powered ones, face traffic restrictions.
VARIOUS POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS
CRMT's retrofitting solutions are applicable to a wide range of vehicles and machinery:
- Heavy vehicles: Buses, trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles.
- Maritime applications: Boats and other marine equipment.
- Specialized machinery: Construction equipment, agricultural machines.
- Stationary applications: Generators and other stationary equipment.
Each project is tailored to the specific needs of your vehicles, whether it involves a 0-km retrofit for converting vehicles at the manufacturing stage or retrofitting vehicles already in operation.
OUR RETROFIT EXPERTISE
With over 20 years of experience in vehicle and specialized application conversions, CRMT stands out for its technical expertise and its ability to provide comprehensive support from start to finish:
- Before the project: We define and study your conversion project, including fuel selection, storage systems, component selection and validation in engine test cells, as well as engine transformation or replacement.
- During the project: We adapt components (storage, emission control) and conversion systems, offering customized engineering services for the development and production of the first prototype.
- After the transformation: CRMT provides full support during the commissioning of your vehicle and the homologation process, as well as post-project evaluation to monitor performance evolution.
With our vehicle engineering expertise, you benefit from complete diesel vehicle conversion solutions tailored to your specific needs.
A COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE
CRMT is committed to adhering to the highest standards (EURO VI, Stage V) in all its services. We place particular emphasis on meeting pollution thresholds, with precise pollutant measurements under real-world operating conditions, leveraging our expertise in emissions measurement and the use of PEMS technology.
