Clean Air Power has recently announced that Sainsbury’s, the third largest chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom, has acquired additional 10 units of its Genesis Edge Dual-Fuel™ system, as it aims to continue to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel costs in comparison with conventional diesel vehicles.

Thanks to the unique combination of an inner liner made with Akulon® Fuel Lock from DSM and the superior mechanical characteristics of HiPer-tex™ high performance glass fibre from 3B, Gastank Sweden AB, is now able to produce zero permeation cylinders that meet the very stringent ECE R110 regulation governing the use of Type IV high pressure CNG cylinders for NGVs.

The manufacturer of lightweight, fuel-efficient carbon composite cylinders and systems for containment of CNG is currently providing efficient gas-transportation solutions to a growing number of bus and truck original equipment manufacturers, vehicle converters and gas companies in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Moreover, it will exhibit its technology at the Busworld International Trade Fair in Istanbul, Turkey, in April.

Following a successful trial of the Genesis Edge Dual-Fuel™ system, a major logistics company has ordered 27 units, worth around £0.7m, to Clean Air Power’s United Kingdom subsidiary. The request will be delivered during the first six months of 2012.
