DiGas is based in Riga, Latvia. The company is a pioneer in state-of-the-art dual fuel technology and has designed a game changing product for high horsepower diesel engine applications, particularly locomotives to promote competitive and sustainable transport in Europe, and globally.
Vision
Our Vision is bold and disruptive – Advancing a better future by facilitating World’s transition to cleaner, more effective and more sustainable energy resource – Natural Gas and Bio Gas.
Mission
Our Mission is to develop, demonstrate and commercialize solutions that enables the last standing energy sector – Transportation, to switch from conventional fuels to Natural gas providing environmental and economic benefits to customers operating the most polluting and the most fuel burning high horsepower applications, while exceeding performance and operational characteristics of conventional solution for natural gas incorporation.
15 years of experience
15 years ago, DiGas pioneered the move towards natural gas incorporation into diesel medium duty and heavy duty vehicles with its advanced Dual Fuel Technology. Company brought to life the first successfully commercially applied and mass – produced Dual Fuel system in the World and managed to test and prove its Dual-Fuel technology with exceptionally good feedback from fleets all around the world.
More than 2000 case studies
With more than 2,000 applications in operation worldwide, operating under varied duty cycles and applications DiGas has acquired strong position and vast successful experience in European and Asian countries. DiGas has successfully implemented projects in Bulgaria, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Uzbekistan and other countries. The engineering department of our company as a technical strategic partner is actively cooperating with MMZ (Belarus), ISUZU (Japan), CASE, JAMZ (Russia) , Etalon (Ukraine).
Development
Our business strategy is to use knowledge, know-how, experience and expertise accumulated and acquired throughout all these years to combine them and rework the dual fuel product by implementing the best practices of all developed technologies into one, universal, simple for installation, massively accessible, scalable and technically state-of-art DiGas Dual fuel product for diesel locomotives with excellence in warranty, product and customer support service. The Dual fuel system for diesel locomotives is a strategic move towards offering alternative energy in the railway industry to meet Directive 2004/26/EC emission restrictions. Our Dual fuel system has demonstrated both the long-term cost saving and the environmental benefits of LNG and CNG.
From Now On
Taking into consideration exploding demand from the market and historical adoption of new technologies by rail sector, DiGas expects rapid growth and profits once the product is rolled-out in the market. First of all, DiGas plans to commercialize in the Baltic market, after first pilots quickly expand throughout 11 European countries where our target types of shunter locomotives are being used. After the initial success on pan-EU level, DiGas will leverage its technical competitive advantage in global expansion to capture the markets in global arena where diesel traction plays much more important role than in Europe (like US and Asia).
