DieselGas is a specialist alternative fuels engineering company established in the early 1980’s to take advantage of high oil prices after the second oil shock and now has a 30 year history of designing and implementing proprietary natural gas dual-fuel conversion systems for diesel engines. DieselGas is based in New Zealand and has successfully converted over 20 production diesel engine types with its technology, satisfying customers in 13 countries including OEM’s like Caterpillar and Robert Bosch. Because of low oil prices since 1986 the demand for DieselGas products stagnated over the years with economics and political conditions dictating the difference between the local prices of diesel (subsidized in most developing countries) and natural gas (price parity with diesel in the US from 1986 until 2009). The fact that natural gas is a more environmentally friendly fuel than diesel, with DieselGas dual-fuel systems offering greater than 20% reduction in CO2, has not been sufficient reason for widespread adoption of the DieselGas system.
