American Power Group Corporation announced that its subsidiary, American Power Group, Inc. (APG) has been notified by its regional WheelTime Dealer, Clarke Power Services, of an order for ten APG Turbocharged Natural Gas Systems™ from W.W. Transport, Inc.

The order will be filled from Clarke Power’s existing inventory of dual fuel conversion kits.

Kyle Weuve, W.W. Transport’s Chief Financial Officer stated, “We are making a major commitment to natural gas vehicles with one CNG fill station up and running in Wood River, IL and a second CNG fill station under construction. We plan to operate a fleet of both dedicated and dual fuel natural gas vehicles based on the best match of power and load. We became very interested in APG Turbocharged Natural Gas Systems™ due to its operational economics and ability to handle the heavier loads with no loss of power and torque. We look forward to getting all of our initial ten APG Turbocharged Natural Gas Systems™ on the road and we expect to expand our fleet with more in the future.” 

Lyle Jensen, American Power Group Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “W.W. Transport, Inc. is a prime example of a fleet that has a true appreciation of the economical and environmental benefits of how natural gas vehicles can deliver measurable savings and provide a competitive advantage. Their investment in fueling stations, dedicated natural gas engines, and the APG Turbocharged Natural Gas System™ demonstrates a logical balance of matching natural gas engine solutions to the various route profiles and load demands of moving today’s freight.” 

Jensen added, “The APG system should be a perfect match for their medium to heavy-haul loads and we are happy to see larger initial order quantities coming from owners that have experience in utilizing natural gas vehicles in their fleets.”
