- Thousands of Highly Polluting Two-Stroke Vehicles in
Energtek Inc. (OTCBB: EGTK), a world leader in the development of
Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) technology, announced today that a three-wheeler
with a two-stroke engine has been successfully converted to operate on
Natural Gas in
The converted vehicle, a Yamaha RS100T motorcycle with a locally produced sidecar, is now operating on Natural Gas utilizing Energtek's proprietary Adsorbed Natural Gas technology. The conversion of a two-stroke vehicle engine to Natural Gas fuel is the first recorded success of its kind for a large-scale commercial project.
"Energtek's technology provides a solution for the country's more than
two million tricycle drivers to continue to operate their vehicles,
preventing them from suffering a significant loss of livelihood that would
have been brought on had they been forced to stop using them," said
Drivers have long been attracted to two-stroke vehicles due to their
relatively low purchase price, but many governments, including
"Millions of two-stroke vehicles powered by gasoline are causing severe
pollution, particularly in nations where they represent a large percentage of
motor vehicles," said Energtek CEO
Two-stroke engines release significantly more hazardous particulate matter than cleaner four-stroke engines. Additionally, two-stroke engines are quite durable and can last for up to 30 years, further highlighting the importance of conversion solutions in locations where citizens may not be able to afford purchasing a new vehicle.
