Hasselgren Engineering was selected to provide design, manufacturing, assembly and testing services for the development of the prototype one-cylinder, four-stroke opposed piston gasoline engine. This prototype engine by Pinnacle Engines is aimed at the huge scooter and three-wheel auto rickshaw market in Asia.

Pinnacle Engines from San Carlos, CA was founded by Monty Cleeves in 2007.  Hasselgren Engineering provided resources in design consulting, manufacturing, fabrication, engine assembly, fuel management controls and dyno testing – a one-stop shop.  Hasselgren’s AVL testbed has provided over 500 hours of testing for the prototype engine.
