Omnitek Engineering, Corp. (OMTK.PK) Receives Patent for Key Natural Gas Technology -
Omnitek reports the receipt of Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent Office for a key technology, essential for achieving ultra-low emission levels with natural gas engines.
The Omnitek Fuel Mixing Apparatus has been applied on engines of various sizes with expected superior results. One engine equipped with this technology has already received EPA and CARB emission certifications.
The technology greatly improves air/gas mixture formation. The resulting complete combustion greatly reduces emissions and increases fuel economy.
Omnitek plans to make this technology available to other engine manufacturers, such as Cummins, Volvo, Isuzu and Mercedes, in an effort to support the fight to lower air pollution and combat global warming.
Patent Serial Nr. 11/810,620. International patents pending.

Omnitek Engineering, Corp. (OMTK.PK) Accelerates Position To Benefit From $ 2 Billion Subsidy Program -
At a special meeting on Feb. 19, 2008, the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners voted to approve a plan calling for replacement of at least half of the 16,800 old port drayage diesel trucks with trucks powered by clean alternative fuels -- specifically natural gas or other alternative fuels that perform better than 2007 emission standards. (The full report is available at the Port of Long Beach official website at http://www.polb.com )
The Commissioners further finalized a $2 billion subsidy program to finance the lease or purchase of clean trucks or engines. Under the plan, only "clean" trucks will be allowed to work at the Port of Long Beach. One of the provisions calls for a one-time grant of up to $ 20,000 towards the purchase of retrofit equipment for model year 1994 to 2003 trucks in 2008 and 2009.
Reacting to the move, Omnitek Engineering, Corp. has initiated the process of certifying one of its engines to the required emissions standard. The engine will be able to operate using liquefied natural gas (LNG), or compressed natural gas (CNG) and can be used to retrofit old diesel trucks.
Werner Funk, CEO of Omnitek, states, “We are not trying to force the truck operators into any one technology, so we will equip our certified engines so they can be operated using LNG or CNG. This puts us in direct competition with engine maker Cummins Westport.”

Omnitek Engineering, Corp. (OMTK.PK) receives a forecast-order for 1,000 diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems from its JV partner in Thailand, Omnitek Engineering Thailand Co. Ltd,. The value of this order is reported to exceed $ 1,200,000. The first lot is scheduled for delivery immediately, with further shipments evenly spaced over the next six month. The Company forecasts sales in Thailand alone to top 2,000 conversion kits in 2008.
Omnitek’s CEO, Werner Funk, reports, “Sales of 2,000 diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems just in Thailand is a conservative estimate considering the size of the total market.” The Company's proprietary diesel-to-natural gas conversion system has been successfully applied in over 12 countries. “Our technology is now clearly accepted by the industry and our revenue trends show a strong upward curve,” Mr. Funk continues.

Omnitek Engineering, Corp. (OMTK.PK) and Omnitek Engineering Thailand Co. Ltd., have entered into a joint venture agreement in Thailand to sell Omnitek’s proprietary diesel-to–natural gas engine conversion kits and new natural gas engines used to repower existing diesel trucks and buses. Omnitek reports a 15% interest in the JV.
Omnitek is a global leader in the alternative fuels industry. Omnitek develops and supplies new natural gas engines and a proprietary technology which converts diesel engines to operate on natural gas, propane or hydrogen.
The JV will purchase conversion kits and new natural gas engines from Omnitek and sell them to fleet owners in Thailand. Omnitek will offer training to the fleets to allow them to convert their own diesel engines to natural gas in their own workshop. Werner Funk, CEO of Omnitek, reports, ”Previously, the vehicles had to be delivered to conversion workshops to perform the transformation from a diesel engine to a naturals gas engine. As a result of the limited workshops in Thailand, only a small amount of vehicles could be converted every month. Allowing the fleet maintenance garages to perform their own conversions, assisted by technicians from Omnitek Thailand, will greatly accelerate the conversion process.” Omnitek estimates that with this arrangement up to 5,000 engines can be converted per year. Mr. Funk continues, ”Thailand is an important market for Omnitek. The low-interest rate loans available to the fleet operators to re-power trucks and buses or to convert existing diesel engines to natural gas, opens up a large market for Omnitek’s technologies.”

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 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.

Omnitek Re-powers Container Handling UTR at Bangkok Sea Port - Omnitek reports the commencement of a re-powering project at the Bangkok Laem Chabang Sea Port.
The first two UTR container-handling vehicles, owned by LCB1 Ltd., were recently put into service. The Cummins 5.9 Liter engines were replaced with Omnitek 5.8 Liter CNG engines. The engine of a third UTR is currently being converted from diesel to CNG. A short evaluation period will determine the economics and feasibility of converting or re-powering. LCB1 Ltd. operates approximately 200 UTRs at the Bangkok port.
The fact that the Thai gas supplier PTT has installed CNG refueling infrastructure at the sea port, has encouraged many fleet operators to consider converting or re-powering their diesel vehicles to CNG. Switching from diesel to natural gas can result in 30% to 50% savings in fuel and maintenance costs.(UTR)
