"Our innovative JTG-Dynamic System will provide vehicle owners with more power, more torque and improved efficiency along with huge fuel-cost savings and lower emissions," says Icom's CEO Ralph Perpetuini.
With Icom's JTG-Dynamic System, a driver has the choice of running either the propane/diesel dual-fuel mode or just the original diesel mode. No modifications are made to the vehicle's engine so it runs unchanged in the diesel mode. In the dual-fuel mode the Icom ICU controls and monitors the engine.
The system is installed on diesel injection engines with specific programming for each engine platform. Icom currently offers systems configured for International DT466 and Cummins 11.9 engine families, with more engine platforms under development.
"Our new system is an all-around winner for diesel fleets," notes Albert Venezio, chairman of Icom North America. "For owners, it dramatically reduces operating costs because propane is cheaper than diesel and has a 50-cents-per-gallon alternative fuel-tax credit. For the environment, it reduces emissions. For the national economy it helps to reduce petroleum imports because propane is mostly U.S. sourced.
"The JTG-Dynamic system is a breakthrough technology and the only system for diesels that injects liquid propane, not vapor. It expands the applications of Icom's JTG bi-fuel system, which is now powering more than 120,000 vehicles worldwide with the ability to run on either liquid-injected propane or gasoline."
Jasper Alternate Fuels, a division of Jasper Engines & Transmissions of Jasper, Ind., will be the first to install the JTG-Dynamic System on diesel vehicles. Jasper has over 55 installation centers across the U.S. to perform both LPG and CNG conversions on vehicles.
"The industry has been looking for a unit like this that can provide an increase in power and torque plus a 50 percent reduction in diesel-fuel expenses," says Ed Zoglman, manager of the Jasper Alternate Fuels Division. "Our customers are looking for fuel savings and cleaner emissions. This system has both."
