清潔空氣動力的雙燃料發動機管理軟件,開發的重型汽車,是提供新創EDGE雙燃料™為沃爾沃D13和MACK MP8發動機由美國聯合包裹服務公司(UPS使用操作)。UPS將提供10 MACK的MP8拖拉機單位將安裝與美國版的雙燃料系統,示范和優化。
自2002年以來,UPS已經營9卡特彼勒C12牽引車與清潔空氣動力的雙燃料系統。他們每完成超過百萬英里。
MACK的MP8卡車將UPS設備在安大略省,加利福尼亞州,有一個LNG / CNG加氣站現場操作,并執行真實用戶操作。10輛卡車將每月總行程超過10萬公里,這將提供寶貴的信息和數據對性能和可靠性。卡車預計將在2013年10月全面投入運作。
這項計劃的資金已經由加州能源委員會提供的下一個替代和可再生燃料和車輛技術專門設計的程序,以加快在加利福尼亞州的交通運輸市場的替代燃料的使用。
天然氣卡車的使用預計將呈現快速增長提供豐富的國內廉價天然氣在美國對進口石油的替代。天然氣加氣站基礎設施的持續投資,由于運營商變得越來越容易,作為
主要國際天然氣供應商進入市場。
清潔空氣動力的行政長官約翰·佩蒂特說:“我們非常高興能夠與UPS源EDGE雙燃料™產品為重要的美國市場上的測試和優化工作。UPS是在發展天然氣汽車在美國最具創新性的領導人之一。在2013年4月,UPS宣布將購買700液化天然氣為燃料的卡車,并構建由2014年年底的4個加氣站。此測試與UPS的協議證實了我們的發展計劃,美國的創EDGE產品已經達到了一個先進的階段,我現在有信心,我們的軌道上提供的產品能夠在美國看到不斷增長的需求,天然氣車輛進行維修。 “
Clean Air Power, developer of dual-fuel engine management software for heavy duty vehicles, is to provide its new Genesis EDGE Dual-Fuel™ for the Volvo D13 and MACK MP8 engines for in-use operation by United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS). UPS will provide 10 MACK MP8 tractor units which will be installed with the US version of the dual-fuel system, for demonstration and optimisation.
UPS has been operating 9 Caterpillar C12 tractor units with Clean Air Power’s Dual-Fuel system since 2002. They have each completed over 1 million miles.
The MACK MP8 trucks will operate out of the UPS facility in Ontario, California, which has an LNG/CNG fuelling station on site, and perform real-user operations. The 10 trucks will in aggregate travel over 100,000 miles per month, which will provide invaluable information and data on performance and reliability. The trucks are expected to be fully operational in October 2013.
Funding for this program has been provided by the Californian Energy Commission under an Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program specifically designed to accelerate the use of alternative fuels in California’s transportation market.
The use of natural gas trucks is projected to show rapid growth in the US where an abundance of cheap domestic gas is providing an alternative to imported oil. The natural gas is becoming increasingly accessible to operators due to on-going investment in gas refuelling infrastructure as
major international gas providers enter the market.
John Pettitt, Chief Executive of Clean Air Power said: “We are extremely pleased to be working with UPS on the testing and optimisation of a Genesis EDGE Dual-Fuel™ product for the important US market. UPS is one of the most innovative leaders in the development of natural gas vehicles in the United States. In April 2013, UPS announced that it will buy 700 liquefied natural gas-fuelled trucks and construct four refuelling stations by the end of 2014. This testing agreement with UPS confirms that our development programme for a US Genesis EDGE product has reached an advanced stage and I am now confident that we are on track to deliver a product capable of servicing the growing demand seen in the US for natural gas vehicles.”
