Landi Technologies Extends Industry Leadership with New CARB Certification

Landi Technologies announced CARB certification of its Ford 7.3L RNG and CNG platform for the current model year, setting a new benchmark for clean transportation in the commercial vehicle industry.

Torrance, CA – On May 29, 2026, Landi Technologies announced 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. 

CARB certification remains one of the most rigorous emissions compliance standards in the world, requiring extensive regulatory review, emissions testing, OBD validation, and technical engineering compliance. Achieving certification on a commercial platform of this scale is a major accomplishment in sustainable transportation engineering. 

Landi Technologies would also like to recognize and thank the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for its continued leadership, professionalism, and commitment to advancing clean transportation technologies. 

Landi’s systems have proven themselves across demanding U.S. commercial fleet environments with exceptional reliability and operational maturity. 

It doesn’t stop here. Landi Technologies continues to lead development of the next-generation 7.3L clean transportation technologies in close collaboration with Ford and regulatory agencies.

This is more than a certification. It is another defining step forward for the future of clean commercial mobility.
