Thailand, Bangkok
US based engine and conversion system developer Omnitek Engineering, Corp. has appoint CYT Gas Tech Co. Ltd. (CGT) the exclusive Omnitek natural gas engine warranty and engine parts distribution center for Thailand, as well as a non-exclusive dealer for Omnitek’s CNG engines. Omnitek develops and supplies new natural gas engines and a proprietary technology which converts diesel engines to operate on natural gas, propane or hydrogen.
Werner Funk, CEO of Omnitek, says, "Thailand is an important market for
Omnitek. The low-interest rate loans available to the fleet operators
to re-power trucks and buses, opens up a large market for Omnitek’s
natural gas engines. There are currently fifteen Omnitek natural gas
engines operating in Thailand, with five more in transit, scheduled to
arrive Thailand in December.”
CGT already provides services to natural gas fleets in Thailand, and
has been servicing Omnitek’s natural gas engines and products in their
facility in Bangkok.
Thailand is a dynamic and rapidly expanding natural gas vehicle market.
Thailand’s leading energy supplier, PTT Public Company Ltd ("PTT"), has
been at the forefront of Thailand’s natural gas vehicle programs. PTT
in conjunction with local banks is responsible for granting
low-interest loans to fleet operators to fund the conversion of diesel
engines to natural gas, or to buy engines to repower vehicles.
