Core Business and Dual Fuel Technology
American Power Group’s business centers on its Dual Fuel conversion technology, a patented hardware and software solution that allows high-horsepower diesel engines to safely displace a significant portion of diesel fuel with natural gas. Company materials state that engines equipped with APG’s Dual Fuel technology can displace up to approximately 60–65% of diesel fuel with natural gas, with typical average displacement around 50% in many applications.
The technology is designed to introduce natural gas into the induction system of an existing diesel engine while maintaining original equipment manufacturer (OEM) engine temperature and pressure parameters. APG emphasizes that its approach does not require changes to OEM diesel engine components and that its software-based system manages the fuel blend to maintain power and torque without additional maintenance requirements described in the company’s releases.
Fuel Flexibility and Emissions Focus
Company disclosures highlight that APG’s Dual Fuel systems can utilize multiple natural gas sources, including:
- Renewable natural gas (RNG), including dairy manure RNG referenced in vehicular applications
- Compressed natural gas (CNG)
- Liquefied natural gas (LNG)
- Captured flare-stack methane
- Conditioned well-head gas
APG states that using these fuels in conjunction with diesel can result in lower fuel cost, lower carbon output, and reduced criteria pollutant emissions compared to diesel-only operation. The company also notes that its Dual Fuel technology remains compatible with eligible biodiesel blends and renewable diesel fuels, which can further reduce a diesel engine’s carbon footprint. Several press releases emphasize the role of APG’s technology in supporting Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) objectives for operators seeking emission reductions.
Stationary and Off-Road Power Applications
American Power Group reports a substantial installed base in stationary and off-road dual fuel applications through its S4000 Dual Fuel Technology. Company announcements describe conversions of high-horsepower diesel generators and diesel pumps used in primary power and critical care emergency back-up power settings. APG cites use cases across multiple application categories, including:
- Oil and gas operations, including frack engines in the production sector
- Manufacturing facilities
- Hospitals
- Data and blockchain centers
- Frozen goods warehousing
- Peak-shaving support
- Public and government buildings
- Microgrids
APG states that generator power ratings from 100kW to 12MW have been successfully converted to its Dual Fuel solution on a wide array of OEM diesel engine platforms. The company lists platforms such as Caterpillar, Cummins, MTU, Detroit Diesel, MAN B&W, Kohler, Perkins, John Deere, Komatsu, Wartsila, Isuzu, Nigata and Daihtsu among those where its S4000 system has been applied.
In one detailed example, APG reports that it converted several 1.2MW Caterpillar diesel engines in a New York City cooperative housing community’s co-generation plant to run on its dual fuel solution. The plant manager is quoted as noting reliable operation at an average 50% diesel displacement over many years, with both cost savings and emission reduction benefits cited as important outcomes.
Vehicular Solutions for Class 8 Trucks
Beyond stationary power, American Power Group focuses on vehicular dual fuel solutions for Class 8 heavy-duty diesel trucks. The company’s vehicular systems, including its V7000 next generation Dual Fuel System, are described as a practical and affordable way to convert existing trucks to run on a blend of diesel and natural gas, including low-carbon and negative-carbon RNG.
APG states that its vehicular Dual Fuel System can displace up to about 60% of diesel consumption with natural gas while maintaining heavy-duty engine power and torque. The company positions this as an alternative to purchasing new dedicated alternative-fuel trucks, emphasizing that fleets can upgrade existing diesel engines and add appropriate natural gas storage rather than fully replacing vehicles.
According to APG’s disclosures, the V7000 system incorporates an expanded dual fuel calibration engine control module and enhanced telematics capabilities. These features are described as providing fleet owners with real-time tracking of net fuel savings achieved by displacing diesel with CNG or RNG.
Regulatory Approvals and Compliance
American Power Group highlights regulatory aspects as a key part of its business. The company reports having 500+ EPA vehicular engine family approvals on selective engine model years for platforms such as Cummins ISX, Detroit Diesel DD13/DD15, and Volvo/Mack D13/MP8. It also references multiple California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Orders for its vehicular solutions.
APG further notes that it has been working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and CARB on emissions testing and approval protocols to expand coverage to newer selective catalytic reduction (SCR) engine platforms, including Cummins X15 engines in certain horsepower ranges. The company positions its technology as a regulatory compliant option for operators seeking to meet evolving emissions standards and, in some cases, to address CARB Near-Zero Emission Vehicle (NZEV) objectives.
