Diesel TEK Inc. announced that it signed a national distribution agreement for the U.S. market with The Larson Group, which owns and operates Peterbilt dealerships throughout Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois and Indiana. Diesel TEK is an environmental company introducing a line of energy efficiency products to the heavy-duty diesel industry designed to lower emissions output while increasing power, performance and fuel economy. Diesel TEK’s initial product introduction is its Diesel TEK Engine Flush System, which will be marketed to the heavy-duty diesel industry.

“The Larson Group, Truck Rods and Peterbilt of Joplin have been serving the heavy-duty transportation industry for years,” says Eric Wheeler, chief executive officer of Diesel TEK. “Their customer service is unsurpassed in the industry. Their expertise and reputation are exactly what we wanted in a distribution partner to help us introduce Diesel TEK’s new technologies to the trucking and transportation community.”

Diesel TEK expects to have the Engine Flush System available in all 48 states by January 2011. “We are excited with this opportunity to bring Diesel TEK’s innovative Engine Flush System to the US market,” says Gary Larson, one of the owners of The Larson Group. “Many rigs we service have elevated soot content and oil contaminants resulting from federally required emissions control devices mandated on newer diesel engines.”

Larson says the Diesel TEK Engine Flush System is designed to keep trucks running clean and complement the emissions technologies. “Many other clients are holding on to their trucks longer and need the engine flush service to extend their engine life,” he says. “Based on our initial customer feedback, Diesel TEK’s program should be widely accepted by both fleets and individual owner-operators.”
