Clean Air Power growth fuels opening of new Australian company

Clean Air Power has set up a registered company ( Clean Air Power Pty Ltd) in Australia to cater for the increased demand for its Dual-Fuel technology, which allows heavy duty truck engines to run on natural gas and diesel.

It has appointed a Director and Business Development Manager to further increase sales in Australia. To coincide with the announcement, Clean Air Power has received a new order from Kleenheat Gas Pty Ltd in Australia worth around £0.25m to install Dual-Fuel technology to their heavy trucks.

This adds to the £1.5m order from Mitchell Corporation for 50 Dual-Fuel installations received in January 2007.

Australia is now Clean Air Power’s largest overseas market and its Dual-Fuel success has been based on two key areas:

Operators have been impressed with the performance of Dual-Fuel trucks, in terms of reducing carbon emissions and fuel costs

Dual-Fuel addresses the growing issue of transport-related greenhouse gas emissions

To oversee this Australian growth, Clean Air Power has appointed Gary Ireson to a new position as Director, Australia and Tim Car as Business Development Manager of Clean Air Power Ltd Pty.

Ireson has been affiliated with the Australian Liquid Petroleum Gas Association (ALPGA) for over 10 years and was formerly General Manager of Kleenheat Pty Ltd.

Car has been Managing Director of Alternative Fuel Technology Australia for the past five years, engaged in a joint emulsified diesel fuel project with Shell. Car will strengthen CAP’s relationships with local truck dealers.

“Australia has seen some impressive growth in the past year as the Government is genuinely committed to reducing emissions, rather than just talking about the issue,” explained John Pettitt, Chief Executive of Clean Air Power.

“Gary and Tim have great experience in the Australian fuels market and will be responsible for building relationships with new and existing customers,” he added.
