Omnitek Diesel-to-Natural Gas Converted Engine Selected by City of Little Rock for Pilot Program
08 5월 2014 - 9:00PM
Omnitek Engineering Corp. (OTCQB:OMTK) today
announced it has been selected for a city of Little Rock, Arkansas
pilot program intended to demonstrate the economic benefits and
environmental effectiveness of the company's EPA-approved diesel-to
natural gas engine conversion technology for the Navistar DT466E
heavy-duty truck engines utilized by the city's municipal
truck fleet. Omnitek Engineering anticipates delivering favorable
results during the evaluation period, with expectations for an
enlarged project during the next one-and-a-half to two-year
period. Additional terms were not disclosed.
"Arkansas is committed to supporting technologies that reduce
environmental pollution and utilize inexpensive natural gas, and we
are gratified to have been selected. This project is an
opportunity to further showcase and demonstrate the economical and
effective utilization of the company's diesel-to-natural gas engine
conversion technology. We look forward to working with the
city of Little Rock and associated state officials," said Werner
Funk, president and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering
Corp.
Funk noted that the converted natural gas trucks will utilize
Little Rock's new CNG fueling station resulting in an estimated
savings to the city of $2.50-$3.00 per gallon equivalent compared
with the retail price of diesel fuel.
"Our partnership with Glover's Truck, a highly respected
full-service truck center and newest Omnitek Authorized
Installation Center (AIC), played a critical role in our selection.
Glover's will provide numerous additional opportunities to leverage
the organization's broad truck engine experience as more fleets
transition to natural gas. We appreciate the responsiveness and
commitment of the Glover's Truck team and look forward to a
successful program," Funk said.
"We're very proud of the Go Red! Program's efforts to reduce
diesel emissions around the state," said Mike Bates, chief of the
Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Air Division.
"Since 2008, ADEQ has distributed over $1.2 million in Go Red!
funding to a wide variety of programs -- including school
districts, sanitation departments, various counties and cities.
"Replacing aging diesel engines with cleaner burning engines
helps cut harmful emissions and, ultimately, improves air quality,"
Bates said.
He noted that diesel emissions result in increased nitrogen
oxides, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the
air. "These compounds can cause serious health concerns especially
for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems.
Nationally, these emissions are linked to thousands of premature
deaths, hundreds of thousands of asthma attacks, millions of lost
work days and countless other health impacts every year," Bates
added.
