Volvo Loves DME, AFTC.PK

AB Volvo is a firm believer that dimethyl ether (DME) is one of the most promising renewable energy sources on the face of the planet.

With more than $60 billion in annual sales and nearly 100,000 employees in 20 countries, Volvo has become a leading "driver" in the transition of DME from the lab to the road.

Interestingly enough, a bit of digging uncovers that one of Volvo's business segments - Volvo Truck Group - has been using prototype DME fuel systems from Outcast portfolio favorite AFTC.PK since 1995. I came across a company summary on the AFTC.PK homepage that brings this little known fact to light. Pretty impressive if you ask me!!

I'll delve deeper into the aforementioned relationship in future editions and will surely speak with management, potentially at both companies, to get the skinny here. In the meantime, I found a very interesting graphic on the Volvo website that compares DME quite favorably to a number of other renewable energy sources based on 7 unique and very relevant categories.
