Coca Cola Mexico Uses IMPCO Product CERRITOS, Calif., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IMPCO Technologies Inc., (NASDAQ:IMCO). Mexico City is among the ten most polluted cities in the world. When the Mexico City government mandated that vehicles fueled by liquid fuels could be curbed during pollution alerts and that vehicles operating with clean burning fuels such as propane and natural gas would be exempt, it became apparent to Coca Cola Mexico that a fuel change was required to keep their delivery trucks running uninterrupted. With a fleet of 6,000 delivery vehicles in Mexico City, the management of Coca Cola Mexico knew that is was imperative that they make the right decision in choosing a company who could provide the products and expertise to support the conversion of the vehicles from petrol to propane. IMPCO was chosen due to its history and reputation for supporting the successful conversion of other fleets over 25 years in Mexico. Coca Cola Mexico has converted 2,500 vehicles in Mexico City. Also, Coca Cola Mexico has converted an additional 7,500 vehicles out of a total of 25,000 delivery vehicles not in Mexico City. With gasoline priced at $2.07 per gallon and propane at only $1.20 Coca Cola Mexico will be able to realize yearly fuel savings of over US$10 million and stop fuel theft. Brad Garner, Vice President and COO of IMPCO Technologies stated, "IMPCO's reputation in Mexico, our history of success and a technical support staff in Mexico led Coca Cola Mexico to use IMPCO equipment for all of their conversions." Regarding IMPCO: IMPCO designs, manufactures, markets and supplies advanced alternative fuel systems and related products to original equipment manufacturers and to the aftermarket for the mobile, industrial, power generation, and stationary engines market place.
