Let's recap the posts on that subject, beginning with Greg Vezina's conversion of production vehicles to ammonia all the way up to the most recent one about using household ammonia. ( in order of most recent to oldest )
- Running automobiles on household ammonia
- Dead Ends
- Updated interview of Aronsson
- Garland E. Harris Interviews Bob Aronsson
- Green Car Congress: ZAP and Apollo Demo On-Board A...
- Ammonia reforming
- Ammonia Powered Car ( update )
- Ammonia As A Fuel
- Bio-ammonia as a hydrogen source for fuel cells
The purpose of that little exercise was to consolidate my thinking up to this point.
The next step is to actually get a product that somebody could buy. So, with that in mind, I went back to the Apollo website. It said on the contact information something about OEM's
So, I remembered something about Phoenix MotorCars. They made the vehicle that Altair was putting their batteries into. I had invested in Altair several years ago. I followed that link to the vehicle manufacturer that makes these vehicles---SsangYong Actyon--- and brought up their website. Their website could use a little improvement, by the way.
In order to see if they are a going concern, I followed the links provided to the news section. They do appear to be a continuing concern, so that leads to the next question--- do they still make cars that can be converted to electric cars--- in particular, the Phoenix car?
They may have other ideas, according to the list of news items. They may make their own electric vehicles.
I was thinking if Phoenix could use their vehicles, so could Apollo.
Or, you could convert the gas and diesel vehicle offerings to run on ammonia. Then, you could have a conversion business. That would be a way to sell to the public.
Update:
Evidently, Apollo will license the technology to car makers who will use Apollo's propulsion system. In other words, you make the car and they make the propulsion system.
