LYNNFIELD, MA--(Marketwired - Jul 23, 2015) - American Power Group Corporation (OTCQB: APGI) announced today that its subsidiary, American Power Group, Inc. ("APG"), will display its "Fueled By Flare™" Dual Fuel System on a 2015 Freightliner 122SD Severe-Duty Glider Kit at next week's Bakken Conference & Expo in Grand Forks, North Dakota. This first ever dual fuel severe-duty glider kit was designed and assembled by Harrison Truck Centers ("HTC") as a vocational vehicle for oil and gas, mining, logging, and over-sized load trucking applications.

The Bakken Conference & Expo, produced by The Bakken Magazine, will feature operator updates, investor perspectives and technology trend explanations during the three-day, high-scale event at North Dakota's premier event venue, the Alerus Center. APG and HTC will be co-displaying in booths 408 and 1001.

The Bakkens' Backbone Seminar is a co-located event, providing insight and information on rail, power, transportation, pipelines, commercial construction and water infrastructure. Mr. Jensen will be presenting on APG's Dual Fuel Technology powering drilling rigs and heavy duty trucks with converted flare gas on July 27th.

A Freightliner Glider Kit is designed, engineered and assembled alongside new Freightliner trucks giving the prospective fleet owner everything a new truck offers except for two of the three main driveline components (engine, transmission, or rear axle). The fleet owner can either recapitalize any of the driveline components from their existing unit or specify a factory installed remanufactured engine or reman rear axle. Freightliner Glider Kits are available in day cab or sleeper units with a wide range of options at a much lower cost compared to a new diesel truck. APG has EPA engine family approvals for all six engine platforms that HTC uses in their glider kits.

Lyle Jensen, American Power Group's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We see significant opportunities emerging for us in the Bakken and are excited to spotlight our 'Fueled By Flare™' dual fuel natural gas system throughout the three day event. A convergence of technologies now allows wellhead/flared gas in the oil and gas fields to be filtered and conditioned to harvest the methane, propane and butane contained in what has been considered a waste gas by the exploration and production ('E&P') companies. Over 70% of APG's dual fuel stationary oil rig conversions are operating on conditioned wellhead gas and we have six drilling rigs operating successfully on high-BTU conditioned wellhead/flared gas in the Bakken. While there are significant opportunities associated with the use of conditioned wellhead gas in stationary oil and gas drilling applications, we see a much larger addressable market in the thousands of heavy-duty trucks supporting the oil and gas exploration industry in the Bakken. The ability to use conditioned wellhead/flared gas to fuel these trucks can provide an operator with a significant competitive economic advantage as well as help address a significant pending problem for the E&P companies who have to eliminate the flaring of their wellhead gas. The ability to scale the production of acceptable quality conditioned wellhead/flared gas will produce a natural gas fuel that is expected to save regional fleet owners 25% - 35% in fuel costs as compared to diesel fuel. APG currently has a severe-duty dual fuel glider truck in the Bakken. We believe our dual fuel system is perfectly matched for the high-horsepower and heavy-haul demands of the oil and gas services industry and we are able to deliver diesel-like performance at a lower total cost of ownership."

About American Power Group Corporation
American Power Group's alternative energy subsidiary, American Power Group, Inc., provides a cost-effective patented Turbocharged Natural Gas® conversion technology for vehicular, stationary and off-road mobile diesel engines. American Power Group's dual fuel technology is a unique non-invasive energy enhancement system that converts existing diesel engines into more efficient and environmentally friendly engines that have the flexibility to run on: (1) diesel fuel and liquefied natural gas; (2) diesel fuel and compressed natural gas; (3) diesel fuel and pipeline or well-head gas; and (4) diesel fuel and bio-methane, with the flexibility to return to 100% diesel fuel operation at any time. The proprietary technology seamlessly displaces up to 75% of the normal diesel fuel consumption with the average displacement ranging from 40% to 65%. The energized fuel balance is maintained with a proprietary read-only electronic controller system ensuring the engines operate at original equipment manufacturers' specified temperatures and pressures. Installation on a wide variety of engine models and end-market applications require no engine modifications unlike the more expensive invasive fuel-injected systems in the market.
