Australian company Alternative Fuel Innovations (AFI) says it is developing a new lpg autogas liquid injection system for vehicles that will achieve the same performance as that of a petrol engine.
The company’s Liquajet system is being developed with the help of a $3.54 million grant from the Australian government through its Green Car Innovation Fund.
Innovation minister senator Kim Carr said: “Consumers in Australia and overseas are clearly looking for vehicles that are easier on the hip pocket and the environment. The Australian Government is enabling firms like AFI to capitalise on that demand. We are building high wage, high skill jobs in Australia and making our manufacturers leading players in the global response to climate change.
“It is not only the big auto companies that are funded to achieve the objectives of A New Car Plan for a Greener Future. Our smaller companies and component producers have a role to play in making the world a more sustainable place for future generations.”
