Kelso Technologies Inc. (“Kelso” or the “Company”), (TSX:KLS), (NYSE American:KIQ) reports that the Company has completed the design and implementation of its proprietary Active Suspension Control System (ASCS). Kelso has successfully outfitted a 2017 Ford F150 production prototype (Prototype) with the ASCS. The Prototype features our suspension-related patents (pending) that have been designed to provide heavy duty performance capability in rugged outback terrains as well as standard road conditions.

Implementation of Kelso’s business infrastructure and plans for the ASCS project has commenced. The ASCS division of Kelso will operate under the Company’s wholly owned British Columbia subsidiary KIQ X Industries Inc. (KIQX) located in Kelowna, BC, Canada. ASCS equipment will be marketed under the trade name Kelso KIQ X Gear™. All requirements of commercial production including sub-contracted facilities & equipment, supply chain and engineering are expected to be completed on or before the end of February 2018. 

The ASCS is a unique suspension methodology based on thirty years of research and experience. It is believed to represent a dramatic improvement over existing technologies presently used in commercial combined road-no-road vehicles. Vehicles featuring the ASCS are expected to provide distinct advantages to customers in terms of safety, effective performance and operational capabilities. The basic design premise of the ASCS is to manage the center-of-gravity of the vehicle with automated gyroscopic controlled air suspension. This ensures that the driver, passengers and payload remain in a stable position when driving in difficult rugged outback terrains including flooded areas. The ASCS technology package is well suited for use in desert, mountain, snow and low lying water regions around the world. 

Commercial sales and distribution are expected on or before March 1, 2018. Initial marketing initiatives for KIQ X Gear will focus on customers requiring reliable suspension performance in operations involving search & rescue, military, railroad, police & border patrol, first responders, railroads, mining, forestry, agriculture, ranching, pipelines, telecommunications, oil, gas, electric transmission and recreation.

James R. Bond, CEO of the Company comments that: “Our ASCS program is a key opportunity for Kelso to expand its brand in new non-railroad related markets. Many areas around the world such as Africa, Australia, Middle East and North America require high-performance outback suspension technology. The ASCS suspension is a key addition to our diversification business model. Our focus is to create a new breed of high-value Kelso products that can generate multi-million dollar cash flows from domestic and international markets.”
