1. Sun Strategies Australia Announcement Regarding Gray Line Coaches and NG1 TechFlo
Ed Manners, Chairman and CEO of the Sun Strategies Group, an investor in NG1 Technologies Inc and their Deputy Chairman advises that Gray Line Worldwide, the world’s largest provider of sightseeing tours, had selected cleantech innovator NG1 Technologies as an Allied Partner to bring TechFlo Exhaust, NG1’s aftermarket exhaust system, to Gray Line licensees. 30,000 Trucks are involved. As an Allied Partner, NG1 joins a select group of brands whose products and services are available to Gray Line licensees, providing these companies with access to the advanced fuel savings of NG1 TechFlo Exhaust. Gray Line Worldwide’s Allied Partners include several established and respected transportation industry companies, such as Bridgestone, Detroit Diesel, Motor Coach Industries and Prevost. Gray Line licensees are currently installing NG1 TechFlo Exhaust systems at select locations across the U.S., with plans to roll out the product to all U.S. locations in the coming months and eventually to international sites. A recent composite credential report concluded the average fuel saving from using the TechFlo system was 12.33%, double the competitors.
2. US Department of Energy Grant Application Report NG1 TechFlo and UPS
An important second matter is the US Department of Energy Grant Application Report. In February 2016 as part of the continued research NG1 solicited a Department of Energy (DOE) funding opportunity announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0001384 Innovative Dual Fuel Aftermarket Emissions Solution with United Parcel Service (UPS). The exploratory research program is to develop an advance emission control system for Class 7 and Class 8 heavy duty vehicles equipped with an alternative fuels product variant. The research will lead to the elimination or mitigation of the negative effects of current Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after-treatment systems by replacing them with a combination of symbiotic technologies specifically designed to enhance fuel savings and promote complete combustion reducing emissions. This DOE Report is expected in the next two months.
