 Company's conversion technology has been used to convert heavy-duty diesel engines to operate on natural gas worldwide since 2001 and has been successfully adapted to work with many different engine designs and configurations. More than 5,000 engines have been converted worldwide utilizing the Omnitek technology.

The governments of many countries with an indigenous supply of natural gas encourage the use of their domestic fuel supply and may offer incentives to convert vehicles currently running on diesel, which is expected to increase demand for our product in those regions.

When contacted, we approach the issue of “converting or replacing” high-polluting diesel engines by offering two main options, which in large part is influenced by the level of technological capabilities within the country, emission requirements, and financial feasibility.

The first option is focused on collaborating with local companies in an effort to convert diesel engines to an alternative fuel. 

To achieve the conversions, we can supply engineering support to convert the engines locally. This offers an economic benefit to the local economy by keeping the rebuild work in the community. 

In the second scenario, we would supply new low-polluting, alternative fuel engines. This may be a better option when the existing engines are based on old and outdated technology and/or strict emissions standards are in place.

Regulations

Engine conversions in the United States are subject to regulations imposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and in California, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”). At this time, the Company has received U.S. EPA approval for the Navistar DT466E and DT530E engine models, and a Certificate of Conformity for the Mack E7, Detroit Diesel Series 60 and Caterpillar 3406E/C15 engine models.

Engine conversions in Europe, and certain other regions, are subject to regulations imposed by the European Union (“EU”), or other local authorities. The Company has received EURO VI certification from the EU for the OT13 heavy-duty 13-liter natural gas engine.
