Ronn Motors Receives Impressive Report on H2GO(TM) Field Trial From RJ
Pipkin Company, LTD, Fleet Owner/Operator
Reports Impressive 32% CO2 Reduction and a 41% Drop in NOx
AUSTIN, TX -- July 30, 2009 -- Ronn Motor Company (PINKSHEETS: RNNM)
announced today that results are now available for the H2GO(TM) system
over-road field trial conducted by RJ Pipkin Company, LTD, a large truck
fleet owner/operator based in West Texas.
The H2GO(TM) real-time hydrogen injection system was installed on Pipkin's
fleet of large trucks, specifically a 2008 Cummins turbo diesel powered
Peterbuilt. Various data points, including information obtained from
real-time emissions monitoring, were recorded with the H2GO(TM) system and
then compared to baseline data points recorded last month prior to the
H2GO(TM) installation.
Results for this over-road field trial indicated a significant 32% CO2
reduction as well as an equally remarkable 41% reduction in NOx. A
reduction in CO2 emissions is directly correlated to a reduction in fuel
consumption / mileage improvement. The actual data and graphs will be
posted on the website within the next few days.
Damon Kuhn, Ronn Motor Company COO, stated, "The results achieved from this
H2GO(TM) field trial are right in line with our expectations based on
months and months of extensive research, development and dyno testing.
These impressive numbers should remain consistent through the remaining
over-road field trials. We expect RJ Pipkin Company, LTD to begin
retrofiting its fleet as soon as Frigette Energy Systems finalizes the
production tooling."
Large trucks, as those operated by RJ Pipkin, are the backbone of the
shipping and commercial industries in the United States. These large fleet
trucks average a mere 6 miles per gallon nationally. Every tenth of a mile
increase in their fuel efficiency will increase the truck owner's bottom
line, as well as provide a positive impact on the environment through
significant reductions in noxious emissions.
