 |
ALGONA, Iowa--Hydrogen Engine Center, Inc. (OTC BB: HYEG), a developer of systems and processes used in the design, manufacture and distribution of alternative fuel internal combustion engines, engine controls and generator systems, and Lynco Tugger, a manufacturer of high quality towing equipment for aviation and industrial applications based in Plymouth OH, today announced that Lynco Tugger will be displaying an Oxx Power ™ hydrogen engine at booth 3645 at the Aviation Industry Expo in Dallas, TX March 18th, 19th and 20th.
Also at the Expo, A&V Rebuilding and Victory GSE of Los Angeles will be showcasing four completely rebuilt tractors powered by Oxx Power™ engines at booth 3238. Along with the four tractors, they will also be displaying a fully dressed, Fuel Injected, Oxx Power™ 649l DRLB Engine.
“The Oxx Power™ engine’s rugged design provides fleet managers with sustained durability and, when applied with HEC’s advanced fuel delivery system, provides vastly improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions,” said Don Vanderbrook, President and CEO of Hydrogen Engine Center. “HEC is the only supplier to offer the Aviation Ground Support Industry a new 4.9L Oxx Power™ engine as a replacement for existing Ford 300’s in service today.”
Lynco Tugger manufactures the Hydra-Tug, a patented, zero degree turning radius, fully Hydra-Static tow vehicle that meets the tightest of emission controls. The Oxx Power™ engine is a perfect compliment to the Hydra-Tug, the industry standard for robust, dependable, low cost-of-ownership tractors for towing aircraft.
Bill Fetzer of Lynco Tugger said, “We are pleased to be showcasing HEC’s hydrogen Oxx Power™ engine with our ground support equipment. At Lynco Tugger, we are always searching out new alternatives, and with more stringent emissions requirements being imposed, we are excited to have the opportunity to work with HEC on ways to work with alternative fuels in a cost effective manner.”
Gerry Hoadley of A&V Rebuilding said, “At A&V, we expect our FleetRenu rebuilt tractors to be as reliable as any new tractor on the market today. The Oxx Power™ engines are the most durable option we have found. They stand up well to the demanding challenges of today’s airport operations. We have had great success with them, and we look forward to a long lasting relationship with HEC.”
“HEC is proud to be aligned with Lynco Tugger, A&V Rebuilding and Victory GSE at the AIE in Dallas, and we look forward to designing and installing more Hydrogen and alternative fueled engines in their products in the future,” Vanderbrook continued. “We believe we will have tractors operating on hydrogen with our engines at several airports in North America in the near future under pilot programs.”
