清洁空气动力的双燃料发动机管理软件,开发的重型汽车,是提供新创EDGE双燃料™为沃尔沃D13和MACK MP8发动机由美国联合包裹服务公司(UPS使用操作)。UPS将提供10 MACK的MP8拖拉机单位将安装与美国版的双燃料系统,示范和优化。
自2002年以来,UPS已经营9卡特彼勒C12牵引车与清洁空气动力的双燃料系统。他们每完成超过百万英里。
MACK的MP8卡车将UPS设备在安大略省,加利福尼亚州,有一个LNG / CNG加气站现场操作,并执行真实用户操作。10辆卡车将每月总行程超过10万公里,这将提供宝贵的信息和数据对性能和可靠性。卡车预计将在2013年10月全面投入运作。
这项计划的资金已经由加州能源委员会提供的下一个替代和可再生燃料和车辆技术专门设计的程序,以加快在加利福尼亚州的交通运输市场的替代燃料的使用。
天然气卡车的使用预计将呈现快速增长提供丰富的国内廉价天然气在美国对进口石油的替代。天然气加气站基础设施的持续投资,由于运营商变得越来越容易,作为
主要国际天然气供应商进入市场。
清洁空气动力的行政长官约翰·佩蒂特说:“我们非常高兴能够与UPS源EDGE双燃料™产品为重要的美国市场上的测试和优化工作。UPS是在发展天然气汽车在美国最具创新性的领导人之一。在2013年4月,UPS宣布将购买700液化天然气为燃料的卡车,并构建由2014年年底的4个加气站。此测试与UPS的协议证实了我们的发展计划,美国的创EDGE产品已经达到了一个先进的阶段,我现在有信心,我们的轨道上提供的产品能够在美国看到不断增长的需求,天然气车辆进行维修。 “
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.”
