About this update from American Power Group Corp.
[{"type":"text","content":"ALGONA, IA / ACCESSWIRE / September 10, 2024 / American Power Group Corporation ("APG") (OTC Pink:APGI),the leading dual fuel diesel engine conversion technology company is pleased to announce their V7000 next generation dual fuel system for Class 8 heavy-duty SCR diesel engines. APG's V7000 Dual Fuel System is a practical, affordable, and proven alternative fuel solution to convert existing Class 8 diesel trucks to run on up to 60% natural gas including low-carbon and negative-carbon renewable natural gas. The V7000 has an expanded dual fuel calibration Engine Control Module providing increased functionality, performance and new expanded telematics capabilities providing fleet owners with the ability to track in real-time the net fuel savings of displacing their diesel consumption with widely available compressed natural gas (CNG) or renewable natural gas (RNG).Chuck Coppa, APG's CEO/CFO stated, "We've initiated our next round of EPA/California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions testing and are currently working with EPA and CARB to finalize new testing/approval protocols to expand our 500+ industry-leading EPA engine family approvals on selective engine model years for Cummins ISX, Detroit Diesel DD13/DD15, and Volvo/Mack D13/MP8. Our initial emission testing of the V7000 has shown very promising results regarding further emission reduction percentages, especially as it relates to NOx which would be significant in our efforts to address new CARB Near-Zero Emission Vehicle (NZEV) objectives. We are focusing on newer SCR engine platforms in the 2020 to 2022 range starting with Cummins X15 (450HP) engine platform given it allows for broader market/application coverage".Mr. Coppa added, "Using low-carbon or negative-carbon RNG can significantly lower diesel-related criteria pollutants and improve a fleet's carbon intensity footprint with no loss of heavy-duty engine power and torque. The fleet owner can avoid spending over $400,000+ on a new alternative fuel heavy-duty truck by investing only a small fraction of that cost on upgrading their existing diesel truck engines with APG's dual fuel system and an appropriate natural gas storage tank. The maintenance and engine life cycle remains the same as the OEM diesel engine with no high-temperature parts or special engine oil required.Mr. Coppa concluded, &q...
