Johnr J , Perkins engines are produce in North America, Europe and Asia, we can use locally made steel for areas like the Chassis, The ballast weight is not pig iron casting, we used a different method like other industries. wheels and tieres can be produce locally to. So yes it all can be produced local and this would cut down Shipping.


Ship's are some of the worst polluters on the planet, hopefully this will change as they are looking to use the same fuel we will use.


Also there is a company in North America that has tested LPG and have got this down to around 95% zero emission i believe , there was a something on this on forkliftaction a couple of weeks ago. I think there are working with CAT on this. So yes we can get 100% zero emission with an IC engine its quite simple and been shown already


I will also admit we have done most of our work on quite a small budget now we are getting the proper funding we need that's why i can say it will be launched in 2019.

We have a major customer who has agreed to work with us as well.


I do believe that for trucks under 5,000kg some type of battery system would be best, but for larger trucks over 6,000kg what we are proposing is the best idea.



If you look at Could This Pickup Truck Design Change the world on Youtube you will get a bit of an idea of what we are doing we will use the series hybrid version
