VOLVO PLANS LNG ENGINE FOR NORTH AMERICAN MARKET

Swedish truckmaker Volvo AB (VOLV-B.SK) said Monday it will launch a 13-liter liquefied natural gas (LNG) engine within the Volvo brand for the North American market in 2014.

-The engine's high pressure diesel ignition technology will provide significant fuel efficiency gains compared with current natural gas products.

-Combined with the group's previously announced offering of compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered Volvo VNM and Volvo VNL model daycabs, the new engine will provide customers with a complete range of natural gas -powered transportation solutions.

-Within the Volvo brand another fuel is being tested that can be produced from natural gas, DME (dimethyl ether), which has the potential to become an attractive alternative for the North American market.

-"Despite the near-term infrastructure questions regarding widespread adoption of natural gas as a heavy-duty truck fuel, it's clear this segment will grow over the next several years," says Ron Huibers, president of Volvo Trucks North American Sales & Marketing.

Market Watch 21/05/2012

Westport Innovations (WPRT)holds the key to the world of Heavy Trucks running on Natural Gas.

The Fools are at it again and I tend to agree.

I really don't see how Capstone can compete in this market, but would love to be proved wrong. Converted or new Diesels are also the power train of choice among small off-shore marine vessels, as well as most of the large ships, especially the LNG Vessels which are tri-fueled, being built today.

Of course I sold out of WPRT about 2 years ago to buy CPST.

Whether or not you agree with Fracking, unless we start booking more orders in the drilling industry I can't see this stock moving upward although I could be completely wrong.
