Alternative Fuel Systems Providing Natural Gas Engine Controllers to Mahindra and Mahindra

23 June 2009

Canada-based Alternative Fuel Systems (AFS) is providing that it is providing natural gas engine controllers to Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd. in India for use in the new compressed natural gas Maxx maxi Truck, now in production.

AFS has been supplying controllers for Mahindra Bolero CNG pick-ups over the last year.

In this Mahindra project, AFS and Advantek Fuel Systems Pvt. Ltd, our India based partner, are providing natural gas fuel systems, including engine controllers designed, programmed and built by our Company...Mahindra is very active in the fast growing CNG vehicle market, and we are continuing to work with them and with Advantek on projects scheduled for future production.

—AFS President and CEO Jim Perry

Mahindra says that it is the market leader in the 2 to 3 ton G.V.W. pick-up category with a market share of 85% for fiscal year 2009. Perry said that AFS has also seen that government agencies in India are vigorously supporting the change from diesel vehicles to natural gas fuelled vehicles in order to combat pollution.
