May 28, 2026. Landi Technologies announced California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification of its Ford 7.3L renewable natural gas (RNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) platform for the current model year, covering the Ford E-450, F-450/550/600, F-650/750 and F-53/59 platforms and setting a new benchmark for clean transportation in the commercial vehicle industry.
Landi is the only company in the world with a CARB-certified Ford 7.3L RNG/CNG platform combined with Ford Q-185 durability validation approval. These systems have achieved over 1 billion real-world fleet miles.
This achievement represents years of advanced engineering, proprietary calibration development, emissions validation, OBD compliance approval, and extensive testing — delivering fleets a fully validated pathway to cleaner transportation without compromising performance.
In partnership with Ford, Landi successfully completed Ford Q-185 durability validation testing with Ford Commercial Engineering approval. This testing included OEM tear-down inspection and validation of critical engine components, including pistons and valves, to verify the long-term performance and reliability of Landi’s advanced fuel system. This level of validation supports OEM durability and long-term operational confidence under gaseous fuel operation. Landi is the only system manufacturer to have successfully completed this level of Ford durability validation on a 7.3L RNG/CNG engine.
