HK Motors, American Public Gas Association and NGVAmerica to Collaborate to Promote Natural Gas Hybrids

By Green Car Congress on 04/16/2010 – 9:50 am PDTLeave a Comment

Hybrid Kinetic Motors Corporation (HK Motors), the American Public Gas Association (APGA) and NGVAmerica have formed a strategic collaboration to promote the mass production and sales of natural gas-powered hybrid passenger vehicles.

Start-up HK Motors plans to begin producing a family of light-duty natural hybrid-electric passenger vehicles at its plant in Alabama beginning in 2013. Natural gas hybrids will use similar electric-drive technology to gasoline-powered hybrid vehicles available today, only natural gas will be the power source rather than gasoline.





Key actions of the collaboration include:

  • Promoting consumer interest in natural gas hybrids.
  • Encouraging federal and state governments to extend the current range of incentives to encourage consumers, businesses, and governments to choose
    natural gas hybrid vehicles and the infrastructure necessary to sustain them. This would include advocating the passage of “The NAT GAS Act of 2009” (HR 1435; S. 1408).
  • Promoting research and development efforts of natural gas vehicle/infrastructure technologies as well as related business models.
  • Working with natural gas distribution to install home fueling appliances and provide services for NGV purchasers.
  • Encouraging fleet owners of CNG fueling stations to expand their installations to include retail access to new NGV car owners.
  • Supporting access to more domestic supplies of natural gas
