重型汽車雙燃料發動機管理軟件開發商,清潔空氣動力(CAP)已簽署一項協議,以收到的贈款,以支持其發展的源EDGE雙燃料™產品的重要的美國市場。CAP將獲得約260萬美元,2013年5月至2014年10月生產,示范和完善一個商業上可行的雙燃料產品對美國市場。基于這樣的假設,目前計劃的時間表和交付,大部分的資金預計將收到2013年12月31日。
開始這種雙燃料的計劃最初是2012年8月29日宣布,將提供美國創產品US2010排放水平認證,使公司天然氣汽車在美國訪問的日益增長的需求。
為了獲得清潔空氣動力的資金,包括實現部署了12輛試驗車和展示車輛性能和效率,并商定的水平由天然氣取代柴油的比例,以滿足某些交付。
這些資金將通過轉包與燃氣技術研究院(GTI),美國一家研究,開發和培訓機構,加州能源委員會(CEC)的代表將授予管理管理。這些補助可能根據加州的替代和可再生燃料和車輛技術計劃(AB 118)專門設計用來加速使用替代燃料在加州的運輸市場。按照該協議的條款,清潔空氣動力將開拓美國創世紀的產品,并且將部署12個雙燃料車排放,駕駛性能和效率,以優化他們的各種應用。
CAP的首席執行官約翰·佩蒂特說:“隨著大量國內生產的天然氣,美國的清潔空氣動力的雙燃料技術代表一個難得的機會。我們很高興能有支持CEC重要的美國市場,天然氣汽車的需求正在迅速增長,調整和優化我們的歐洲產品。我們也期待著與GTI代表的CEC,管理津貼,因為他們是在美國各地推廣采用天然氣的領導人。“

Clean Air Power (CAP), developer of dual-fuel engine management software for heavy duty vehicles, has executed an agreement to receive a grant to support its development of a Genesis EDGE Dual-Fuel™ product for the important US market. CAP will receive approximately $2.6m between May 2013 and October 2014 to produce, demonstrate and refine a commercially viable Dual-Fuel product for the US market. Based on the assumption that the current Program timeline and deliverables are met, the majority of the funds are expected to be received by December 31 2013.
The commencement of this dual-fuel program was originally announced on 29 August 2012 and will deliver a US Genesis product certified to US2010 emissions levels and enable the Company to access the growing demand in the US for natural gas vehicles.
To receive the funds Clean Air Power has to satisfy certain deliverables including achieving the deployment of 12 trial vehicles and demonstrating agreed levels of vehicle performance and efficiency and the proportion of diesel replaced by natural gas.
The funds will be managed through a subcontract with Gas Technology Institute (GTI), a U.S. research, development and training organization who will manage the grant on behalf of the California Energy Commission (CEC). These grants are made possible under California’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (AB 118) specifically designed to accelerate the use of alternative fuels in California’s transportation market. In accordance with the terms of the agreement Clean Air Power will develop the US Genesis product and will deploy 12 Dual-Fuel trucks into various applications to optimise them for emissions, driveability and efficiency.
John Pettitt, CAP’s CEO says: “With the abundance of domestically produced natural gas, the US represents an extraordinary opportunity for Clean Air Power’s Dual-Fuel technology. We are pleased to have the support from CEC to adapt and optimise our European product for the important US market where demand for natural gas vehicles is growing rapidly. We are also looking forward to working with GTI, managing the grant on behalf of CEC, as they are leaders in promoting adoption of natural gas throughout the US.”
