Applicable to the Company's dual-fuel diesel system installed on Mack engine families, the Certificate of Conformity allows Hybrid to now pursue domestic conversion opportunities primarily in the refuse hauling segment of the US market place. "We are pleased with this official Certificate for several reasons," stated Hybrid CEO Mark Clancy. "While we have had some success with certifying our portfolio of gasoline systems, adding our first dual-fuel diesel Certificate opens several new marketing channels.
