IMPCO BRC to Begin Production of CNG Vehicles for Ford of Argentina
CERRITOS, Calif., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IMPCO
Technologies Inc., (NASDAQ:IMCO) announced today an agreement with
Ford of Argentina wherein BRC will equip three Ford models with
their advanced CNG Sequent Fuel System. The Sequent system was
selected over other competitors based on vehicle performance, power
and technical support which could be provided by BRC. Gaseous
fueled vehicles in Argentina are very popular because of the lower
price of CNG at $1.69/gal. versus petrol at $5.17/gal. Argentina
has the largest number of CNG vehicles in operation than any other
country. Mr. Mariano Costamagna, President of BRC stated,
"Production will begin in September 2004 for 2005 model year
vehicles at our facilities in Argentina. Annual revenues, when in
full production, are projected to exceed $1 million." He further
stated that other OEM's were also interested in the Sequent Fuel
System for application to their vehicles. BRC's Sequent Fuel System
utilizes electronic fuel injectors similar to those used by OEM's
for traditional liquid fuels, assuring a system that is not only
efficient and serviceable but can also be applied to a wide range
of vehicle models. Sequent has been designed to meet the
technological requirements of current and future generations of
vehicles, with particular regard to diagnostics and integration
with the original fuel system. Regarding IMPCO: IMPCO and BRC
design, manufacture, market and supply advanced alternative fuel
systems and related products for the transportation, industrial and
power generation markets. Headquartered in Cerritos, California and
Cherasco Italy, they have offices in Asia, Europe, Australia and
South and North America. IMPCO also operates under the BRC brand
names through its 50% ownership agreement with MTM Srl
headquartered in Cherasco, Italy. More information can be found at
