EPA Ruling Makes Retrofitting
Transit and Fleet Vehicles Imperative
Municipalities and Businesses Will Need Economic
and Environmental Solutions to Meet Eventual Federal Mandates
CHICAGO, Illinois Ð December
14, 2009 Ð With the recent
declaration by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that greenhouse gases
are dangerous pollutants, municipalities and businesses throughout the country
are faced with the challenge of reducing the emissions and fuel consumption of
their fleet vehicles. Recaptured
Energy Technologies has an efficient, workable solution.
ÒThe EPA ruling, coupled
with the international climate summit in Copenhagen and President ObamaÕs
commitment to reducing greenhouse gases, shows that the U.S. can no longer wait
to curb emissions and increase fuel economy of transit and fleet vehicles,Ó
said Sam Jones, president and founder of Recaptured Energy Technologies. ÒTime is of the essence. Recaptured Energy Technologies offers
viable economic solutions that can make an immediate impact without the cost of
purchasing new hybrid vehicles.Ó
Recaptured Energy
Technologies has developed a unique hydraulic braking and propulsion system
that it is designed specifically to be retrofit to existing vehicles. The system captures wasted brake energy
and converts it to an auxiliary source of energy to power the vehicle. The
realized reduction in harmful emissions from a renewable source of energy is a
ÒgreenÓ benefit and the reduction in fuel consumption and added years of useful
life are economic advantages as well.
ÒMany organizations think
they will be forced to purchase a fleet of new hybrid vehicles to meet governmental
standards,Ó continued Jones. ÒThese
decision makers need to know that Recaptured Energy Technologies has a system
in place that can save them millions of dollars and help them meet any federal
guidelines head-on.Ó
