FuelMaker traces its origins to Switzerland in 1986 when Sulzer Brothers Ltd., a leading supplier of natural gas compressors and dispensers for large refueling stations, responded to market interest for a small to medium sized economical refueling system.
By 1988, intensive engineering efforts resulted in the development of prototype units and successive field testing in several countries. With the formation of FuelMaker Corporation in 1989, the company's first production series of its main product - the VRA (Vehicle Refueling Appliance) was introduced. Today, FuelMaker Corporation, headquartered in Toronto, Canada, is rapidly growing with sales and service offices in the United States and Canada, as well as dealers throughout Europe, South America and Asia. Using the most advanced technologies, each unit is built to exacting standards and workmanship and is factory tested prior to shipping.
The FuelMaker VRA utilizes natural gas available at any business or residence and compresses it for storage in pressurized fuel cylinders for over the road and in plant vehicles. The System is capable of accommodating both Time-Fill and Fast-Fill requirements.
The company has sold over 10,000 units worldwide and has used this innovative technology in the design and manufacturing of the first affordable, Home Refueling Appliance (HRA): Phill. A prototype of Phill was unveiled at the World Natural Gas Vehicle Conference 2002 in Washington, D.C. through a joint press conference between Honda and FuelMaker. Since then, FuelMaker has been refining and testing this original design, improving it into the version that is now available. FuelMaker is excited and confident that Phill will be a significant milestone in the history of natural gas vehicles!
