Ford F-250 Super Chief Tri-Flex Fuel Truck
Ford introduced a new supercharged v-10 engine with a tri-flex fueling system that allows drivers to enjoy a choice of three different fuels including gasoline, E85 ethanol or hydrogen. In a tri-flex fueling system drivers can utilize any or all of these fueling options using the same engine only by flipping the switch mode.
The tri-flex fueling system on the Ford F-250 Super Chief can travel as far as 500 miles between total refueling with the supercharger activated only when using the hydrogen fueling system. The hydrogen system also provides a power 400 lb.-ft. of torque.
