LYNNFIELD, MA, Nov 22, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (otcqb:GMTI) (pinksheets:GMTI) announced that its APG International, Inc. ("APGI") subsidiary has received an initial order from ODIZIM/CNG Technologies Ltd., its local distributor in Africa for the conversion of a portion of international logistics company's local diesel truck fleet to APG's patented Dual Fuel System. The conversions are scheduled to be completed before the end of January 2012.
APG's dual fuel system converts diesel engines and diesel generators to function more efficiently and at a lower operating cost (average net fuel cost savings of 30% - 40%) by seamlessly displacing 40%-70% of the normal diesel fuel consumption with CNG, LNG, well-head gas, or bio-methane. APG's system is non-invasive to the OEM engine and operates within all OEM performance controls with the flexibility to return to 100% diesel operation at any time. APG's dual fuel conversion and emissions reduction systems can help users achieve their sustainability goals through lower carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter emissions. In addition, the introduction of natural gas through APG's dual fuel system does not impact diesel engine power or pulling torque and will assist in extending the engine's oil life as natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel compared to diesel.

If you mostly drive long distances, an efficient diesel engine may be your smartest option. The downside is that diesel engines can emit particulates that harm local air quality – moreso than petrol engines. The emissions are reduced if the vehicle has |

The significant fuel efficiency improvements delivered by the Fiesta are largely the result of a 1.6 litre, 95PS Duratorq TDCi engine with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), lower than usual suspension, low rolling resistance tyres, and a dash board

And then there's that little issue of higher fuel-economy and lower emissions. Don Butler, Cadillac's marketing vice president, said during an interview at the show that a diesel engine was under consideration for vehicles sold outside the United |
While there are two petrol engines on offer – a 1.4 litre and a 1.8 litre – the Civic's 2.2 litre diesel will undoubtedly be the biggest seller in Ireland, particularly given its improved fuel consumption, boasting more than 67mpg, and emissions that
