ATF.V moving up on ISUZU and warranty news

CALGARY, Sept. 27 /CNW/ - Alternative Fuel Systems Inc. (AFS) completes
the dual fuel conversion on six of thirteen ISUZU-General Motors (IGM)
vehicles, as part of their first major order received from Australia. Warranty
coverage provided by IGM on these vehicles is the first of its kind given by
one of the big three automotive corporations for diesel to dual fuel
conversions. ''The backing by warranty of a major automaker on the AFS
equipped engines is a key step towards our strategic goal of becoming the
preferred global alternative fuel management system provider to engine
manufacturers'' commented Gerry Klopp, Chief Scientific and Operating Officer.
As announced in the AFS June 30 press release, the City of Unley selected
the AFS proven diesel dual fuel (DDF) system for application with the ISUZU
6SD1-TC engine over all competing technologies. On September 5, 1999 the Mayor
of Unley and members of council witnessed the Honorable Robert Hill, Minister
of the Environment and Heritage, unveil the 5 state-of the-art side-loading
compressed natural gas (CNG) powered waste collection vehicles. Unley Mayor,
Michael Keenan says the council is happy with the system. ''It's a
revolutionary new way of moving heavy vehicles around and we are the trial and
we expect to be a success, and from here, right across Australia.''
The Unley project was procured by IGM's distributor throughout the
greater Adelaide area, North East ISUZU (NEI), a leader in truck sales with
forty-five percent of the market share. Through an exclusive agreement with
AFS, NEI is the only authorized installer of AFS DDF management systems in
Australia. All other IGM distributors operating outside the NEI territory will
be supplied with IGM warranty covered NEI trucks equipped with the AFS DDF
system.
The sixth system has been ordered by Collex, Australia's second largest
waste collection company for use in the Adelaide area. The seventh system has
been ordered by GL, Australia's largest NG distributor, for testing in the
Sydney area. An eighth unit is to be used for marketing in the Sydney area by
another authorized ISUZU distributorship. The five remaining systems are to be
assembled and shipped in October for use on the 500 new series ISUZU (175 HP)
truck.
The potential original equipment manufacturer (OEM) domestic market in
Australia for IGM new trucks of this class is in excess of 2500 units
annually.
Here in Canada, the ISUZU 6HHI truck equipped with the AFS Eagle II
system which recently met low emission vehicle standards (LEV) in Japan will
be on display as part of the B.C. Gas Exhibit at the Union of British Columbia
Municipalities (UBCM) Convention held at the Vancouver Convention and
Exhibition Center September 28th through September 30th. As announced in the
AFS April 27 press release, the remarkable pollution reduction levels achieved
on the AFS Eagle II equipped ISUZU 6HHI engine were 15 percent to 91 percent
below the stringent 13 mode LEV standards set in Japan.
AFS designs, develops and markets advanced technology fuel management and
exhaust treatment systems that permit diesel and gasoline engines to operate
on clean burning, environmentally friendly compressed natural gas. The
innovative Sparrow and Eagle Technologies along with the revolutionary Condor
(reverse flow catalytic converter) have positioned AFS on the cutting edge of
global efforts to reduce engine emissions.
