GET Power Club Newsletter 9-08 Hi GET Power Club Members, This will be a brief update on the status of the Dutchman/UCSA engine technologies that you all have access to through your GET Power Club membership. It has been a long frustrating process to move through the past 24 months of development in the HAFC kit when everyone is wondering why we can’t just jump to the PICC technology right now. …. Baby steps my friends, baby steps. We are simply trying to get our foot in the door of the auto industry without raising such a ruckus with big business and government so as to get shut down. Dutchman very much needs the infusion of funds from the sale of the simpler, less expensive but less exciting technology that can help our customers get 50% improved gas mileage. If you haven’t recently checked it out, visit the Club’s retail website, www.getpowerorlando.com and click the HAFC link. Anyhow … the long vaunted announcement of a Big 3 automaker that would be working with Dutchman has occurred. The automaker is Ford. There is not yet a signed agreement for cooperative development of both HAFC and PICC technologies but there are precursors to that end. On Aug 14 , a top research engineer with Ford sent Dutchman a letter stating that hydrogen supplementation of fuel mixture in current engines makes good sense. He went on to request 14 HAFC kits to begin phase 1 testing in their labs. Two weeks ago Ford requested another 8 units which Dutchman supplied. The week of Sept 8, Ford CEO, Alan Mulally made a similar statement during a CNBC interview regarding “hydrogen technology involving water”. We believe he was referring to the testing they are conducting on the Dutchman HAFC kits. Saturday, Sept. 13, Dutchman/ UCSA held a mini-convention in New Jersey. The keynote speaker was Clinton Lamberth, a top Ford executive. He addressed and answered questions for an enthusiastic group of UCSA dealers and friends concerning the Ford testing of HAFC and the potential for a strategic alliance between Ford and Dutchman for the development (and endorsement) of both HAFC and PICC technologies. It’s by no means set-in-stone yet, but it looks very hopeful. I believe that if we can land this agreement with Ford, GM and Chrysler will come along. You have seen the news recently about the Big 3 asking congress for 50 Billion to help develop more fuel efficient technologies and retool production lines to produce those new models. I believe Dutchman/ UCSA , GET Power Orlando and the GET Power Club members are in the right place for such a time as this. May GOD bless you and yours ! Roger |
