Chairman Comment

Matt Van Steenwyk, APG’s Chairman, noted, “As a technology investor, I am always looking for a situation where a company has an extraordinarily disruptive technology that can address multiple market drivers. In APG’s case, that is significant emission reductions as well as meaningful economic savings and a low cost of entry. APG’s technology is the only cost-effective solution for existing diesel engines that can optimize use of multiple low-carbon fuels, such as RNG, renewable diesel, and biodiesel blends that provide a pathway for dramatic carbon reduction, even turning the results negative. We are very encouraged by our initial emission testing of the V7000, which has shown very promising results regarding further emission reduction percentages, especially as it relates to NOx, which would be significant in our efforts to address new CARB Near-Zero Emission Vehicle (NZEV) objectives, and look forward to furthering these efforts.”
