Fuel Efficient and Clean Emissions
Welcome all watchers and newbies,
H2Ojoe, I too thought they had miss printed the 7%. But when you read the original release from the test results. A average 7.02% fuel savings was realized.
The news release was not well explained as to why it was 7% and not the 10% average from the actual 3 test runs done in Texas. I can only assume when they took other factors into consideration and came up with a 7% savings.
With the figures they tout as $2600 fuel savings for the year. I don't think you will get someone to spend the kind of money they want for the unit without realizing a first year return on your investment.
I would imagine the emission results would be the better pay off if the fines for not being compliant per truck exceeds the cost of the Jetstar for the year.
The other advantage of the Jetstar, it would be an asset for the company to have on the truck.
Also don't forget the carbon credit market. I don't know when that is to be up and running in North America, but this also would generate cash for the trucking companies and DYA. I believe there's a carbon credit market in Europe already.
I tend to agree with the sentiment that for whatever reason, unknown to the average shareholder, no more news release of substance will occur until Jan 2009.
Hopefully they will put a halt on the stock, then have the none existent market makers gap this up to $3-4, to lock in the long timers without creating a selling frenzy and increase the price steadily from there.
Stock price and product claims don't quite jive at this present time and I think people are scared off, as there's no guarantee's that the investment will appreciate considerably in the next year, especially since they have no market maker, and no big name personality pushing the product.
Maybe companies may look at this as the first step to going green and from there the company can make products that evolve with that green theme in mind.
