EPA Certifies CleanFUEL USA’ 6.0L Propane Engine System

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has certified CleanFUEL USA’s propane engine system for the GM 6.0L engine.

CleanFUEL’s propane engine utilizes the Icom JTG Technology and System manufactured by Icom North America and offers the same horsepower, torque and performance as gasoline-powered engines, while producing 87% less hydrocarbons and 50% less toxicants than gasoline. CleanFUEL’s system performed 25% better than comparable gasoline and diesel engines tested against current EPA standards, also reporting zero in particulate matter emissions rate.

Collins Bus Corporation will display a propane Type A school bus test vehicle, featuring CleanFUEL’s new 6.0L LPI system at the Southeastern Convention & International Propane Expo in April. The engine is undergoing CARB testing and CleanFUEL expects the engine to be fully certified and commercially available by summer of 2010.

About 13 million cars and trucks worldwide are powered by propane today.
