A-Cab
Behind the Cab CNG Systems
Features
1
Full-Length Access Doors
Full-length access doors on both sides of the cabinet provide convenient access to system components, simplifying inspection, diagnostics, and routine maintenance.
2
Fuel Management Panel
Centralizes key fueling components in an accessible, protected location for easier operation and service. A proprietary manifold reduces potential leak points, while integrated starter-interrupt functionality helps prevent drive-offs while connected to a fueling station.
3
A-1 InSight
A-1’s proprietary digital fuel display integrates with the OEM vehicle through J1939, providing operators with real-time fuel and system information, including compensated fuel level, distance-to-empty, cylinder pressure, engine fuel pressure, and average fuel economy.
4
Fuel Gauge Module
A-1’s proprietary fuel gauge module integrates fuel level information directly with the OEM in-dash gauge, eliminating the need for an additional aftermarket display inside the cab.
5
Isolated Frame Mounting
A no-contact mounting design isolates the cabinet from the vehicle frame, helping protect the system from frame movement and stress while maintaining secure vehicle integration.
6
Plug-and-Play Integration
Designed for efficient integration with OEM chassis, simplifying installation and reducing complexity for vehicle upfitters and body manufacturers.
