New Test Data Confirms NG1 TechFlo Exhaust Significantly Increases Fuel Efficiency and Reduces Emissions
NG1 Technologies Optimistic About Changing the Face of Agricultural Emissions Globally
ATLANTA (May 9, 2016) – NG1 Technologies, a cleantech solutions company that provides advanced fuel savings in the transportation industry, released recent dynamometer testing that further proves the company’s claim of an average of 10 percent fuel savings, while validating its expansion to the agricultural sector. NG1 Technologies worked with Johnson Irrigation Engine Service in Kansas to perform the dynamometer testing on the company’s signature product, NG1 TechFlo Exhaust.
NG1 TechFlo Exhaust has proven fuel savings of an average of 10 percent on diesel engines and is currently fitted to be applied on Class 8 trucks. However, the recent dynamometer testing was performed on two natural gas irrigation pump motors, comparing a straight exhaust pipe and an NG1 TechFlo Exhaust pipe. The NG1 TechFlo Exhaust test results yielded seven to 10 percent more horsepower, while using seven to 10 percent less fuel. In addition, NG1 TechFlo Exhaust lowered the exhaust temperatures by 150 to 200 degrees due to increased flow, improving torque and extending engine life.
These test results point to agriculture as an increasingly viable market for NG1 Technologies. Natural gas and diesel engines and generators are used in the agriculture industry for a variety of crop production and management needs. During this testing, NG1 TechFlo Exhaust was mounted on a tractor and a generator and improved fuel usage by 1.5 gallon per hour and 1 gallon per hour respectively. In addition to fuel savings for agriculture companies, the improved engine performance helps reduce farming-produced emissions, which currently contribute to 10 percent of global emissions.
“We created NG1 TechFlo Exhaust with the intention of applying the technology to a number of industries, so it is an exciting time for our company to be able to test and prove our theories with such immediacy,” says Dustin Nord, Chief Technology Officer. “Our patented technology can benefit both farmers and the global community by improving engine performance, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. We look forward to exploring this application for the product and sharing its benefits with the industry.”
NG1 Technologies currently offers NG1 TechFlo Exhaust for Class 8 diesel trucks, with multiple installation centers across the U.S. The company’s leadership is exploring numerous applications of the technology and plans to introduce the fuel savings system to industries including agriculture, oil and gas and utilities.

LOUISVILLE. A relatively new company on the scene is promising big fuel savings for relatively low cost – if truckers and fleets just give them a try.
NG1 Technologies is at the Mid-America Trucking Showthis week touting its TechFlo product. According to Dustin Nord, chief technology officer and developer of the product, trucks using his system can see fuel savings of 12-14%. And before you dismiss that as fool’s gold, Nord said he has documented data to prove the results.
TechFlo has been tested on all fuel types and engines from all major manufacturers, including Volvo, Cummins, Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Mercedes, International, Ford, Dodge, Mack and Isuzu and on a range of trucks, from pickups to Volvo, Peterbilt and other heavy-duty models.
“Ninety percent of fuel saving technologies average 3-5% savings,” Nord said. “We did two years of hard beta testing; 15 million miles of on-road testing; and we’ve seen averages of 13-16% with some going as high as 20% plus.”
Nord said he and co-designer Tom Shirra, who has since passed away, originally conceived the exhaust product for pickups but quickly saw the benefits to all types of vehicles. He added that it has been installed on vehicles as small as ATVs and as large as tugboats.
“We are not a fuel-based product, we are a flow-based product,” he said. The results are unmistakable.
“What makes an engine efficient is the amount of air,” Nord explained. “If you can bring in more air, the engine is more efficient.”
The result, he said, is fuel savings of $150-200 per week based on fuel prices of $2.25 a gallon.
The product works by moving gases and fluids through an exhaust pipe at a faster rate. Using a series of internally finned sections of pipes separated by a specified distance tailored to the application, the gases move through a high-speed bore that is formed in the center of the pipe.
As Nord explained, it is similar to the vortex that is created when you take a 2 liter bottle of soda – half filled – and spin it. The soda tends to flow towards the outside creating a vortex in the middle. In the case of the TechFlo, that center bore creates a natural vacuum that allows the engine and turbocharger to breathe, pulling gases and heat from the engine by relieving back pressure.
The results are increased fuel efficiency, increased horsepower and torque, and less noise equal to about 8-10 decibels.
Installation takes about 1 ½ hours, Nord said. The TechFlo costs about $3,000 (only one is needed per truck), but the company offers financing and even has a leasing program available. Nord said that under the lease program, which costs about $120 per month for a three-year lease, the real cost to fleets is nothing since the lease payments could be a tax writeoff at the end of the year.
NG1 Technologies Wins People’s Choice Award at Cleantech Open Southeast’s Technology Exchange Showcase
Identified as Most Promising Company at Cleantech Conference in Atlanta
ATLANTA (May 13, 2016) – The Cleantech Open Southeast, a division of the world’s largest cleantech accelerator, partnered with the German Consulate General in Atlanta to host Implementing COP 21 – Energiewende on May 4 in Atlanta. Attendees at the international technology showcase exchange selected NG1 Technologies as the winner of the People’s Choice Award, identifying the cleantech solutions company as the most promising company at the conference. The event kicked off the Cleantech Open’s startup accelerator program, inviting cleantech firms, policy-makers, startup companies and academia to share ideas and support for green innovations.
NG1 Technologies is a Cleantech Open Southeast alumnus and winner of the 2014 Cleantech Open national prize. The company’s signature product, NG1 TechFlo Exhaust, has proven fuel savings of an average of 10 percent on diesel engines, while also reducing emissions, noise pollution and extending engine life. Chief Technology Officer Dustin Nord spoke at Implementing COP 21 – Energiewende regarding the company’s product and the importance of uniting the southeast cleantech community, along with other leaders and Cleantech Open alumni such as Innovasan, Smart Charge Light, and Tethis.
“It is an ongoing priority for our company to support the initiatives of Cleantech Open Southeast as an alumnus,” says Dustin Nord, CTO of NG1 Technologies. “There is an opportunity for the southeast, specifically Atlanta, to establish itself as a community that fosters solutions for today’s urgent energy, environmental and economic challenges. Cleantech Open Southeast and the German Consulate General brought a number of industry experts together to exchange ideas among the cleantech community during the conference, and we hope more companies will join our efforts.”
Organized by Cleantech Open Ambassador-at-Large Troy Von Ottnot, the conference was held at the Georgia Tech Resarch Institute Conference Center. The German Consulate General participated, sharing information about Germany’s ‘Energy Transition’ that is currently underway, shifting the country’s energy portfolio to one dominated by renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable development. Detlev Ruenger, German Consul General in Atlanta, discussed how this plan could benefit other countries to better global energy usage. In addition, Cleantech Open’s Chairman of the Board presented, emphasizing the value of supporting cleantech entrepreneurialism and thanking the Atlanta community for its support of Cleantech Open.
NG1 TechFlo Exhaust is currently available as a retrofit exhaust system for Class 8 diesel trucks, but was recently proven to provide the same fuel and emissions benefits when applied to agriculture equipment and generators. The company is strategically exploring a number of industry applications for the advanced technology.
