American Power Group Launches British Columbia Dual Fuel Initiative

Signs Cullen Diesel Power Ltd. as Dealer/Installer; Initial 10 Unit Order for Clark Freightways Funded Through Natural Gas Incentive Program


LYNNFIELD, MA--(Marketwired - Sep 20, 2016) - American Power Group Corporation (OTCQB: APGI) announced today that its subsidiary, American Power Group, Inc. ("APG"), has entered an Authorized Dealer Agreement and a Certified Installer Agreement with Cullen Diesel Power Ltd. to introduce APG's Turbocharged Natural Gas® V5000 Dual Fuel Systems to British Columbia. The first APG dual fuel order for ten systems will be installed on conversions for Clark Freightways from Coquitlam, British Columbia and funded through a local natural gas conversion incentive program. Shipment of the initial ten APG systems is scheduled for September 2016.

Cullen Diesel Power Ltd. and its subsidiaries will manage all aspects of the APG V5000 Dual Fuel dual fuel conversions in British Columbia. Cullen Diesel Power can trace its heritage back to the 1920s as one of the first General Motors diesel distributors in North America. In 1974, it changed its name to Cullen Detroit Diesel-Allison Limited and has evolved through several organizational changes to become Cullen Diesel Power Ltd. today under the guidance of Allan Cullen. 

Clark Freightways: Established in 1957, Clark Freightways ("Clark") has a long and proud history which includes refrigerated and frozen LTL, general freight, truck load, and dedicated transportation logistics services. The Clark management team are leaders in green initiatives and are committed to reducing their carbon footprint through continual research, investment, and implementation of fuel conservation and emission reduction solutions.

Lyle Jensen, American Power Group Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We look forward to working with Cullen Diesel Power and Clark Freightways and fully support the various incentive programs to open up the British Columbia market to the economic and environmental benefits of APG's Turbocharged Natural Gas® Dual Fuel Technology. There are reported to be over 50,000 registered Class 8 trucks in BC and many are heavy-haul high horsepower route profiles which only have dual fuel natural gas technology as a solution in order to retain the required power and torque performance. This pilot program is a 'win-win' scenario for the fleet owners and citizens of British Columbia." 

About American Power Group Corporation
American Power Group's subsidiary, American Power Group, Inc., provides cost effective products and services that promote the economic and environmental benefits of our alternative fuel and emission reduction technologies. Our patented Turbocharged Natural Gas® Dual Fuel Conversion Technology is a unique non-invasive software driven solution that converts existing vehicular and stationary diesel engines to run concurrently on diesel and various forms of natural gas including compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, conditioned well-head/ditch gas or bio-methane gas with the flexibility to return to 100% diesel fuel operation to avoid any natural gas range anxiety. Depending on the fuel source and operating profile, our EPA and CARB approved dual fuel conversions seamlessly displace 45% - 65% of diesel fuel with cleaner burning natural gas resulting in measurable reductions in nitrous oxides (NOx) and other diesel-related emissions. Through our Trident Associated Gas Capture and Recovery Technology, we provide oil and gas producers a flare capture service solution for associated gases produced at their remote and stranded well sites. These producers are under tightening regulatory pressure to capture and liquefy the flared gases at their remote and stranded well sites or face significant oil output reductions. With our proprietary Flare to Fuel™ process technology we can convert these captured gases into natural gas liquids ("NGL") which can be sold as heating fluids, emulsifiers, or be further processed by refiners. Given pending federal methane capture regulations, we anticipate our next generation NGL processing systems will have the capability to convert the residual flared methane into pipeline quality natural gas that can be sold for a variety of dedicated and dual fuel vehicular, stationary, industrial and household uses.
