Omnitek Engineering Corp. announced its exclusive distributor in Turkey is ramping up marketing and sales initiatives based on the conclusion of several evaluation projects, including a successful six-month pilot program with Shell Turkey, to demonstrate the reliability and performance of diesel-to-natural gas (DNG) engine conversions. The converted heavy-duty Mercedes Axor OM457 engine, equipped with Omnitek’s proprietary DNG engine conversion technology, exhibits the same 400 hp performance utilizing LNG as with diesel fuel. The Class 8 trucks are equipped with LNG tanks, providing a range of approximately 900 km. The clean-burning LNG fuel is being supplied by Shell Turkey.
