GFS selects LNG conversion system distributor in Chile

GFS Corp said it has appointed Power Train Technologies as the master distributor of its LNG conversion systems in Chile.

GFS Corp’s technology is an aftermarket conversion system that allows large haul trucks to operate using a combination of liquid natural gas and diesel fuel.

The EVO-MT system brings a significant fuel cost saving to mines that that have the availability of liquid natural gas, the company said in a statement.

“As a major mining power and with two large LNG import terminals in the country, Chile is well positioned to benefit from the increasing global trade in LNG by displacing more expensive diesel fuel,” said George Aguilera, Executive VP of GFS Corp.

Currently GFS Corp offers conversions systems for four truck models, Caterpillar 777 and 793 as well as the Komatsu 830 and 930.
