Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Trucks for City of Kansas City, MO

The City of Kansas City, MO recently took delivery of some new, CNG powered vehicles, including six (6) like the one featured below.

These new trucks are very powerful, and equipped with the HIPPO 5544P , 4-in-1 multi-power pack, provide the City with a very clean, very efficient, "do everything" work truck.

The 5444P is capable of operating the crane, an 80cfm (rotary-screw) air-compressor, a 6,000Watt generator, and a 10gpm hydraulic tool circuit, all at the same time. Each function is completely independent of the others, and can be enabled with a simple flip of a switch.
