Demand From the Electric Vehicles Market Pushes Alternative Fuel and Energy

NEW YORK, February 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

A research report published by Allied Market Research indicates that Global Alternative Fuel and Hybrid Vehicle Market is expected to garner $614 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 12.9% during the forecast period 2016-2022. Alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles (AFHVs) run on fuels other than conventional fuels such as gasoline and diesel. The report indicates that the rapid decrease in oil reserves have fueled the adoption of AFHVs across the globe. A major factor in the increasing popularity of such vehicles is that they are environmentally friendly. AFHV produce much less carbon related compounds, such as oxides of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, which make them an eco-friendly alternative in the automobile industry. Electric vehicles use electricity as their power source stored in vehicular batteries and are capable of recharging at charging outlets, private or public. Greenkraft Inc. (OTC: GKIT), Ballard Power Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: BLDP), Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), Amyris Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRS), UQM Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UQM)

The research points out the market is "segmented based on alternative fuel type, vehicle type, and geography. Based on alternative fuel type, the market is segmented into gaseous fuels (LPG, CNG, and LNG), electric, and others (biofuel, biodiesel, fuel cell, liquid nitrogen, and dimethyl ether). Based on vehicle type, the market is divided into electric two wheelers, passenger cars (battery electric vehicle (BEV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), alternative fuel passenger cars), and commercial vehicle (battery electric vehicle (BEV), hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), alternative fuel commercial vehicle)."

Greenkraft Inc. (OTCQB: GKIT) earlier this morning states that it is, "a nationally recognized player in the alternative fuel engine and vehicle market, announces that it will realize well over $1,000,000 of new revenue in 2017. This revenue will be achieved through the monetization of Greenkraft's three major product lines which are trucks, conversion systems, and engines. Some of the trucks that GKIT is offering are truly one of kind in their class and currently the only alternative to diesel fuel trucks, especially from 19,500 to 33,000 GVW. In addition, Greenkraft trucks offer unparalleled maneuverability compared to other available options because of the unique forward cabin design.

Conversion systems are quickly becoming a huge revenue source for Greenkraft too because the Company can take various existing truck models that run on gasoline fuel and completely convert it to run on CNG or LPG making it much less expensive to operate the fleet.  The third product line that is contributing to GKIT's revenue increase are engines for repowering trucks with different fuel options, and engines for agriculture equipment and stationary machines used in various industries with different fuel options.

George Gemayel, CEO of Greenkraft, Inc. says, "Greenkraft is already the leader in alternative fuel truck options and is now going to be entering new exciting markets that will tremendously increase both revenue and name recognition.  The Company firmly believes that these new alternative fuel innovations will quickly become the standard in the trucking sector and beyond.  2017 is going to be an amazingly exciting and profitable time for Greenkraft."
