Eco Factor: Pickup truck converted to run on both gasoline as well as biofuel.


Kettering University
team is all set to unveil the first-of-its-kind vehicle converted to run on biomethane in Flint at the downtown’s signature car event, Back to the Bricks this Friday. The pickup truck with a giant black tank that allows it to be powered by gasoline and biofuel releases cleaner and more green-friendly emissions. The Kettering team sees their green vehicle showing the way to the conversion of other city vehicles and buses into this green technology.

Result of a three-phase $1 million project funded by the state and federal government that also includes fuel cell products that can power homes, this truck will be fueled by biomethane produced at Swedish Biogas International’s highly anticipated biogas plant. The biogas truck that portrays another step towards Flint’s new alternative energy future took a year for this green renewal. The conversion hardware for the 2009 truck was provided by California company Baytech Corp.
