Page is cr 2012. But article goes back to 2010 or before:
"The first engine system has been developed for the International DT466 engine and is expected to launch in mid-2011..."
not a new concept. was discussed here a long time ago, as I recall. There was a time when LPG was inexpensive (which can be said about diesel and almost anything else). The alternative that has become somewhat more affordable, due to a relatively abundant supply, is CNG.

Interesting article about an old technology. Obviously it is oriented around selling their products. There are some incorrect statements as well.

While the statements about power increases (in a diesel application) pollution is correct, the statements about cost is NOT. My last fill of propane was nearing $4.00 per gallon. I will buy 30 gallons at a time and look for the local propane supplier for heating and general usage rather than a road station.

I have a propane generator and while it is relatively quiet and smooth running, it is very costly to operate and no where near as efficient as a gasoline or diesel powered unit.

...as I understand it propane injection is not to be used as the main fuel
but to augment the fuel that is being used!
