Dual fuel drives municipal vehicles toward a cleaner city

The road to a cleaner city must include the many vehicles in service every day. At American Power Group, we're driving down emissions, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing our dependence on fossil and foreign fuels.

The innovative dual fuel system offers an exciting new solution for government vehicle fleets. By combining conventional or bio-diesel with efficient natural gas, we're bringing a smart, cleaner and greener approach to power. Through our unique retrofit solution – a control and fuel delivery system that blends diesel and natural gas – we can transform your existing municipal vehicles into cleaner means of transport.

APG dual fuel systems offer distinct advantages for Clean City communities. Among the advantages are:

  • Municipal applications that include commercial vehicles, primary power generation and vital backup power systems
  • Reduced operating costs for vehicles and primary off-grid power generation
  • Reduced emission levels for cleaner air and less smog
  • Use of green, renewable fuel sources such as gas from methane ingestors or landfill gas
  • Municiple or Emergency Vehicles
  • Earth Moving Equipment

Performance and efficiency

Diesel power is a mainstay of commercial vehicles. By combining diesel with natural or bio-gas, these vehicles can still achieve their full performance, but do so more cost-effectively and with lower emissions. This reduced carbon footprint occurs through a special fuel and control system that seamlessly switches between blended diesel/natural gas, or 100% diesel when natural gas is unavailable. The retrofit solution can be added to existing vehicles without voiding vehicle warranties.

Putting clean fuels to work for a cleaner tomorrow

Commercial vehicles can help pave the road to greener, cleaner cities. Here are a few areas where dual fuel solutions can help:

  • Municipal Vehicles
  • School Buses
  • Earth Moving Equipment
  • Waste Hauling Vehicles
  • Transit Buses
