With introduction of the the new 2015 Silverado heavy-duty models, Chevrolet expanded availability of bi-fuel, gasoline/compressed-natural-gas versions to include  2500HD and 3500HD trucks in all cab styles. 

With CNG currently priced about 62 percent less per gallon than gasoline, a work truck typically driven 26,000 miles a year can save more than $2,000 annually based on 75 percent CNG usage and comparable efficiency to gasoline.

A separate CNG fuel tank enables the driver to switch between fuels at the flip of a switch. When the CNG tank is depleted, the system automatically switches to gasoline. General Motors’ tier-one supplier installs the CNG fuel tank and complementing fuel system upgrades at a secondary location. Chevrolet dealers deliver the trucks as they would with any optional content.
