General Motors signs strategic alliance supporting alternative fuel implementation

Icom North America, provider of patented alternative fuel systems, has secured pivotal distribution agreements with General Motors to promote the use of alternative fuels. This collaboration will accelerate the adoption of LPG, among other fuels, across a wide spectrum of industries, including OEM and aftermarket fleets.

According to Icom North America, it will strengthen its collaboration with General Motors by integrating the company’s “innovative Alternative Fuel Systems with GM's extensive range of engines and components.”

This strategic alliance offers a comprehensive one-stop solution to vital sectors, and marks a significant step forward in advancing sustainable transportation solutions and reducing the carbon footprint across various industries. Icom North America said that by leveraging cutting-edge technology and expertise, both companies are poised to drive “innovation and environmental stewardship” in automotive and related sectors.

Albie Venezio, Director of Technical Services at Icom North America, expressed satisfaction with the expanded offering to existing and new customers. He emphasised the national security and environmental benefits of utilising Autogas and natural gas, and with the added benefits of renewable Liquid Gas or renewable natural gas in conjunction with GM engines, underscoring the reduction of emissions. In addition, the GM 6.0 and 6.6 engines fill crucial gaps in the performance engine sector.

Moreover, Brandon Thorn, Engineering Manager at Icom, highlighted the significance of GM's 6.0L engine, a proven platform for alternative fuels and GM’s workhorse for almost a decade, and announced upcoming projects utilising this engine.
