Clean Air Power presented its first prototype vehicle with dual-fuel product

Approximately 1,000 miles were covered in dual-fuel operation with the balance in diesel; demonstrating the system’s flexibility and the benefit Dual-Fuel provides for fleet operators when gaps in LNG supply are encountered. The natural gas refueling network currently spanning the US is incomplete but is expanding rapidly as investment in new infrastructure by major gas supply companies increases.

The launch of a US Genesis-EDGE product will enable the Group to meet the rapidly growing demand for natural gas vehicles in the US. The Group has already received interest from a number of major fleet customers and anticipates that the first trial vehicles will be on the road and undergoing validation by the end of 2013, with production commencing in early 2014.

In addition to this product, considerable interest was also shown in Clean Air Power’s legacy Caterpillar C15 system.  This system can be fitted to either existing trucks or new trucks using a Glider kit (a complete truck less the engine, transmission and rear axle) and fitted with a re-manufactured C15 Dual-Fuel™ engine and transmission from the same period.  The Caterpillar C15 heavy duty diesel engine has a substantial installed base and continues to be a popular choice for an important niche of US fleet operators.
