Louisville Taking the Black Smoke Out of City Air; Mirenco Technology Helps City Transit Lower Emissions, Save Fuel 

RADCLIFFE, Iowa, July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Concerned with the black diesel exhaust pouring from some of its city buses, the Transit Authority of River City (TARC) in Louisville, Ky. decided to attack its pollution problem. TARC turned to Mirenco (OTC Bulletin Board: MREO - news) technology to cut the black smoke and eliminate fuel waste in the TARC fleet. 

TARC installed DriverMax® on 100 buses and watched the smoke disappear. After one year of using DriverMax, TARC eliminated 11,000 pounds of harmful emissions while saving 43,000 gallons of fuel. Iowa-based Mirenco, in conjunction with the Department of Energy, developed this computerized throttle modulating system with the goal of reducing pollution, improving mileage and saving fuel. 

DriverMax manages the throttle of a vehicle in real-time to eliminate waste caused by a combination of natural engine degradation and imprecise driver throttle control. The tangible results include minimized emissions, maximized fuel savings, and extended vehicle life, all without a loss of vehicle drivability or power. 

"TARC is committed to doing whatever it can for cleaner air in the greater Louisville community,'' said J. Barry Barker, executive director of TARC. "The installation of DriverMax throttle modulators on buses with five to 11 years of service is one of the initiatives we are pursuing, and we are pleased with the results to date. Every reduction in air pollution levels is a plus for our area in terms of public health and quality of life.''

Attacking the brown cloud that hovers over many U.S. cities is the mission of DriverMax inventor Dwayne Fosseen. "We test the vehicles, define the problem, install DriverMax and then measure results,'' says Fosseen. "If you see black smoke coming out of the tailpipe, you are wasting fuel. We're the only company that analyzes exhaust and provides a product that makes the changes necessary to cut pollution and improve fuel mileage.'' 

As the driver depresses the throttle to the floor, DriverMax delivers only the amount of fuel needed for acceleration. Excess fuel is reduced, eliminating the majority of the exhaust emissions. After a unit is installed, DriverMax can be reprogrammed to compensate for an aging engine's tendency to waste fuel. 

Fosseen invented a form of DriverMax over a decade ago but it was the partnership with the Department of Energy that made the device compatible for all vehicles. DOE engineers designed a microprocessor that streamlined the product and made it more affordable.
