KAG Canada investing in natural gas-diesel multi-fuel retrofits
KAG Canada has placed a $1-million purchase order to retrofit part of its fleet with a multi-fuel technology platform (MFTP) system from Edmonton-based Innovative Fuel Systems.
The retrofits will allow the trucks to slash emissions by displacing a portion of diesel with natural gas. KAG Canada says the retrofits will be done on trucks in Alberta and Ontario.
“We’re expanding the use of IFS’ MFTP technology within our Canadian fleet because it provides GHG emissions reductions and fuel savings and has proven to be very reliable in our two years of commercial operations,” said Chris Chapman, vice-president, fleet services, KAG Canada. “We’ll continue to further roll out the IFS technology as driven by our customers’ needs to reduce GHG emissions from our trucking operations.”

This is a very good idea all fleets that do shorter distance under 500 miles or 800 km trips should look into this. The fed gov should pay up to $500,000 per filling station with a limit of 30 percent of the cost of new filling equipment and a max of $5000 per truck or 20,000 / fleet per year for conversion along the same amount for safe driver access and short-term sick and injured housing
