重型汽车双燃料发动机管理软件开发商，清洁空气动力（CAP）已签署一项协议，以收到的赠款，以支持其发展的源EDGE双燃料™产品的重要的美国市场。CAP将获得约260万美元，2013年5月至2014年10月生产，示范和完善一个商业上可行的双燃料产品对美国市场。基于这样的假设，目前计划的时间表和交付，大部分的资金预计将收到2013年12月31日。

开始这种双燃料的计划最初是2012年8月29日宣布，将提供美国创产品US2010排放水平认证，使公司天然气汽车在美国访问的日益增长的需求。

为了获得清洁空气动力的资金，包括实现部署了12辆试验车和展示车辆性能和效率，并商定的水平由天然气取代柴油的比例，以满足某些交付。

这些资金将通过转包与燃气技术研究院（GTI），美国一家研究，开发和培训机构，加州能源委员会（CEC）的代表将授予管理管理。这些补助可能根据加州的替代和可再生燃料和车辆技术计划（AB 118）专门设计用来加速使用替代燃料在加州的运输市场。按照该协议的条款，清洁空气动力将开拓美国创世纪的产品，并且将部署12个双燃料车排放，驾驶性能和效率，以优化他们的各种应用。

CAP的首席执行官约翰·佩蒂特说：“随着大量国内生产的天然气，美国的清洁空气动力的双燃料技术代表一个难得的机会。我们很高兴能有支持CEC重要的美国市场，天然气汽车的需求正在迅速增长，调整和优化我们的欧洲产品。我们也期待着与GTI代表的CEC，管理津贴，因为他们是在美国各地推广采用天然气的领导人。“

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.”
