CleanTech Swiss AG

In its function as a holding company, CleanTech Swiss AG oversees the operating activities of its daughter companies (see below) and manages the intellectual property (IP - Intellectual Property) of the company.

Any interested, external person or company can participate in CleanTech Swiss AG as a shareholder under certain conditions.

As early as 2017, CleanTech Swiss AG (formerly LPG suisse AG) set itself the goal of developing its own alternative powertrain concept through its current daughter company CombiFuel Swiss AG (since 03.2018) by mainly using liquefied petroleum gas (Bio)LPG and in the future also (r)DME, among others, which sets new standards in terms of efficiency, emissions and effectiveness. We intend to raise the environmental compatibility of internal combustion engines to a new level. This is to be made possible not only for gasoline engines, as there are currently already some long-standing competitors with classic conversion systems, but mainly for diesel engines in fleets, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, construction machinery and generators.

In parallel, the affiliate CombiFuel Germany GmbH (formerly LPG germany GmbH) worked on a second innovation, which has an enormous impact on the existing value chain in the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (Bio)LPG [(Bio)Liquefied Petroleum Gas] or (r)DME [(Renewable) Dimethyl Ether]. As a new innovation, CombiFuel Germany GmbH is developing the "FAAFS" (fully automated ampoule filling system). With this system, gas cylinders can be independently refilled 24/7 by the end user, independently of procurement markets and personnel. It can be compared with the refueling process for vehicles. Only the refill quantity purchased is paid for, so there is no need to transport supposedly empty cylinders by truck to the central filling facility and then back again to the dispensing depot. Environmental protection and capital savings are two key issues here. In addition, the vehicle can also be refueled with (Bio)LPG or (r)DME (depending on the installation variant), which closes the loop on both innovations.

Both solutions represent an unprecedented world novelty. For both innovations, advanced prototypes have been completed to date, which are expected to reach series production status in 2022/2023. The vision of CleanTech Swiss AG aims to achieve a long-term, socially and ecologically sustainable contribution to society with both world firsts. At the same time, a high level of customer benefit is taken into account, true to the company motto "Forward-looking and cost-saving: For a clean environment".

World novelties

Innovation 1: CombiFuel®

CombiFuel® is a worldwide patented solution for almost ALL types of combustion engines (gasoline & diesel).

With CombiFuel®, new & existing vehicles (existing engines), passenger & commercial vehicles can be easily and permanently retrofitted to massively better emission values such as Euro 6d-temp. Installation from the production plant (OEM) would also be possible.

The wallet will be pleased as well, because with CombiFuel® you save a large amount of fuel costs, as well as penalties for new vehicles. The innovative technology from CombiFuel Swiss AG has already been successfully installed in several vehicles and tested over hundreds of thousands of kilometers. It has been designed in such a way that it can theoretically be applied to any commercially available combustion engine.

In the future, CombiFuel® will be marketed exclusively through selected partners, qualified specialist workshops and brand representatives. Thanks to worldwide certification, the unique advantages of CombiFuel® are available to a very large customer base.

In the near future, CombiFuel® technology will enable internal combustion engines to run without gasoline or diesel. The technology is ready for the future. Alternative fuels such as LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) and rDME (Renewable Dimethyl Ether) will be used.

With its unique mix of fuel cost savings and emission reductions, CombiFuel® offers all segments a genuine alternative.

FAAFS® is the world's patented and only fully automatic cylinder filling system with integrated filling station for LPG and (r)DME, developed by CombiFuel Germany GmbH on behalf of CleanTech Swiss AG (parent company and patent holder), and is also an absolute world first.

Innovation 2: FAAFS®

With FAAFS® (fully automated ampoule filling system), gas cylinders (Bio)LPG and (r)DME) can be filled easily, cost-effectively and fully automatically by the end user; regardless of the fill level and material (steel or composite) of the cylinder and at any time - 24/7. No special infrastructure is required for this, except: space, gas tank, electricity and an Internet connection.

Gas cylinders [(Bio)LPG and (r)DME)] can be filled easily, cost-effectively and fully automated by the end user with FAAFS® (fully automated ampoule filling system); regardless of the fill level and material (steel or composite) of the cylinder and at any time - 24/7. No special infrastructure is required for this, except: space, gas tank, electricity and internet connection.

With the integrated refueling module, various types/classes of vehicles (from cars to trucks) can also be refueled area-wide. The FAAFS® will revolutionize the gas business!

Not only will customers get noticeably more for their money, but suppliers will also see enormous savings: significantly less personnel, infrastructure, space and capital. In addition, the environment will also benefit.

Supplementing this, the company is currently developing its own bottle exchange machine. This can be set up either stand-alone as a classic bottle exchange machine, or in conjunction with the FAAFS® as a depot storage system for new bottles in the event of initial purchase, defects, exchange, inspection due date, etc.
