Biogas High Speed Record Achievement
Dec 19 2008
Swagelok Company (USA) has a track record in the supply of products and services to the alternative fuels industry, supporting the design and production of natural gas vehicles, filling stations, and hydrogen fuel cell technology. Swagelok Company components were used in the recent EcoFuel World Tour, which set a Guinness World Record for the greatest distance travelled by a natural gas vehicle, powered by natural gas fuel bought en route. The VW Caddy used standard Swagelok Company products, readily available through Swagelok`s global sales and service centers.
âWith current climate and economic concerns, alternative fuels are becoming more popular as a viable solution for business and consumer needs alike. Today`s record achievement demonstrates that ecology and driving pleasure are indeed complementary,â confirmed Bernd Beltermann, field engineer at Swagelok Company. âAs OEMs roll out their flagship alternative fuel offerings, they can look to Swagelok to provide components they know are reliable and safe,â he continued.
The conversion and optimisation of the Audi A4-B7 Quattro car which set the record was a joint project involving partners such as TüV Rheinland`s Competence Centre for Alternative Fuels in Saarbrücken, the tuner Hohenester of Ingolstadt and the Versorgungs- und Verkehrsgesellschaft Saarbrücken.
