SMP Pioneers Fuel Injector for Alternative Fuels This CNG injector, manufactured in our SMP fuel injection business unit located in Greenville, SC, allows an engine to run on compressed natural gas thus decreasing our dependence on foreign oil and reducing green house emissions. Compared with vehicles fueled with conventional diesel and gasoline, natural gas vehicles can produce significantly lower amounts of harmful emissions such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and toxic and carcinogenic pollutants as well as the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. These vehicles are expected to reduce emissions by 20 percent, and improve fuel economy by 10 percent, compared with the cleanest diesel engines you can get today CNG Highlights Nearly 87% of U.S. natural gas used is domestically produced Less expensive than gasoline Reductions in carbon monoxide emissions of 90-97%, and reductions in carbon dioxide emissions of 25% Reductions in nitrogen oxide emissions of 35-60% Potential reductions in non-methane hydrocarbon emissions of 50-75% Fewer toxic and carcinogenic pollutants, and little to no particulate matter produced No evaporative emissions in dedicated engines 60-90% less smog-producing pollutants 30-40% less greenhouse gas emissions As a further development, SMP is planning to introduce a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) compatible injector which will help address the fuel storage issues associated with CNG fuel and to increase vehicle range. Through innovative material and design engineering, SMP has overcome significant engineering challenges while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental issues. SMP performance can be ‘green’ performance. TOP
