Omnitek工程总公司，加州的公司，开发和销售专有的柴油 - 天然气转换系统，西雅图普吉特海湾清洁空气机构已经选择了一个试点项目，以展示其柴油天然气发动机转换技术华盛顿州西雅图港拖运卡车服务，支持端口的清洁卡车计划。

该项目有拖运卡车服务港海洋集装箱码头的，估计有2000多辆，到2017年为满足2007年EPA排放标准颗粒物排放的目标。

该公司的柴油天然气发动机转换系统是该机构的“试行发动机的升级技术在货运移动部门”项目下的竞争性赠款过程中最好的技术选择。omn​​itek的技术减少微粒的排放，以及氮氧化物和二氧化碳。该试点项目导致由Om​​nitek工程，包括美国战略集团，货运车队和相关服务提供商。

“转换柴油发动机使用天然气货运运营商提供显着的投资回报率，降低燃料成本和清洁燃烧。我们期待与普吉特海湾清洁空气机构和我们的合作伙伴实现的端口西雅图的清洁卡车计划，并参加一个满量程转换程序的目标工作，“说维尔纳·芬克，总裁及行政总裁Omnitek工程。

芬克强调Omnitek的国内柴油天然气转换业务上升以来，该公司最近的EPA批准，其技术广泛线重型Navistar公司DT466E DT530E引擎。该公司还专注于其他柴油发动机模型转换的机会，扩大在亚洲，拉丁美洲和南美，中国和欧洲的合作伙伴，以配合其国际增长。

“西雅图已经转换了垃圾车和机场出租车CNG，因此延长了天然气的环境效益和经济效益的拖运船队西雅图港，西雅图港的竞争力保持在超巴拿马型远洋时代是一个创新的方法送货。美国战略集团总裁斯蒂芬·兰博说，“我们认为，将现有资产的能力是至关重要的天然气基础设施的发展在美国。

兰博指出，普吉特海湾是一个关键的亚洲和美国之间的货运门户，一个在三个工作绑在华盛顿州国际贸易。

Omnitek Engineering Corporation, a Californian company that develops and sells proprietary diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems, has been selected by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency of Seattle for a pilot project to demonstrate its diesel-to-natural gas engine conversion technology for drayage trucks serving the Port of Seattle, Washington, in support of the Port’s Clean Truck Program.

The project has a goal of meeting 2007 EPA emission standards for particulate emissions by 2017 for all drayage trucks serving the Port’s marine container terminals, estimated at more than 2,000 vehicles.

The company’s diesel-to-natural gas engine conversion system was selected as the best technology under a competitive grant process for the agency’s “Piloting Engine Upgrade Technologies in the Freight Mobility Sector” project. Omnitek’s technology reduces particulate emissions as well as nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide. The pilot project led by Omnitek Engineering includes American Strategic Group, trucking fleets and related service providers.

“Converting diesel engines to operate on natural gas offers trucking operators a significant return on investment, with much lower fuel costs and cleaner combustion. We look forward to working with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency and our partners to achieve the goals of the Port of Seattle’s Clean Truck Program and participating in a full-scale conversion program,” said Werner Funk, president and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering.

Funk emphasized Omnitek’s domestic diesel-to-natural-gas conversion business is ramping up since the company’s recent EPA approval of its technology for the widely operated line of heavy-duty Navistar DT466E and DT530E engines. The company is also focused on other diesel engine model conversion opportunities to complement its international growth expansion with partners in Asia, Latin and South America, China and Europe.

“Seattle has already converted its refuse trucks and airport taxis to CNG, so extending the environmental and economic benefits of natural gas to the Port of Seattle drayage fleet is an innovative approach to keeping the Port of Seattle competitive in the post-Panamax era of ocean shipping. We think the ability to convert existing assets is crucial for CNG infrastructure development in the United States,” said Stephen Lambo, president of American Strategic Group.

Lambo noted that Puget Sound is a key cargo gateway between Asia and the United States, with one in three jobs in Washington State tied to international trade.
