GreenMan Technologies Inc., Carlisle, Iowa, has announced that its American Power Group Inc. (APG) subsidiary, based in Algona, Iowa, has signed an EPA test vehicle agreement with Casella Waste Systems Inc., under which Casella will convert one of its refuse trucks to APG's dual-fuel system and begin on-the-road test trials and emission compliance approval.
GreenMan says APG recently became the first company in the United States to receive a Vehicular Memorandum of Exemption from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency allowing public highway access for the testing and verification of APG's non-invasive dual-fuel upgrade system on aftermarket diesel truck and tractor engines.
APG's dual-fuel system is designed to convert diesel engines and diesel generators to function more efficiently and at a lower operating cost by displacing between 40 to 70 percent of the normal diesel fuel consumption with CNG (compressed natural gas), LNG (liquefied natural gas) or bio-methane.
