Tests Show New Clean Diesel Technology Provides Major Reductions in Diesel Emissions and Improved Cost Effectiveness
11/28/05        

Company's Fuel-Borne Catalyst in Combination with Various
EPA-Verified Technologies Provides up to 70 Percent Reduction in Toxic
Diesel Emissions

STAMFORD, Conn., Nov 28, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Clean Diesel Technologies Inc. (Clean Diesel) (OTCBB:CDTI) (AIM:CDT) (AIM:CDTS), a developer of chemical and technological solutions to reduce harmful engine emissions, announced today that a further series of independent tests have demonstrated that the company's proprietary Platinum Plus(R) fuel-borne catalyst (FBC) can help substantially reduce diesel emissions from some of the worst polluting vehicles on the roads today -- the older, well-worn fleet vehicles including school buses, and local delivery and refuse trucks. A series of independent tests conducted at the prominent San Antonio-based Southwest Research Institute showed that the toxic emissions from these vehicles can be reduced, cost effectively, by as much as 70 percent when they are retrofitted with the Platinum Plus FBC coupled with various U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-verified technologies.

Clean Diesel Technologies President James Valentine noted that retrofitting these vehicles with his company's technology can be done inexpensively. As an example, one specific minimal cost retrofit option at less than $2,000 (by far the lowest cost option commercially available for that level of reduction) reduced diesel emissions in a 1995 engine by 50 percent, Valentine said.

To ensure accuracy and practicality, the recent testing was performed on a 1995 DT466 International engine, considered to be one of the engines most often found used in medium-duty fleet vehicles. In general, the tests indicate a diesel emission reduction range of 20-70 percent depending on which combination of fuels, aftertreatment devices and crankcase vent filtration were used with the FBC. Even more impressive results -- diesel emission reductions of 95 percent -- were achieved testing the FBC on a newer engine equipped with high-efficiency diesel particulate filter (DPF).

"These tests demonstrate overwhelmingly that there is a cost-effective emission solution for some of the worst polluters on our roadways -- the older school buses and local delivery trucks," Valentine said. "The tests showed that you don't need to buy new trucks to get the benefit of modern diesel emission technology. By retrofitting these vehicles with our fuel-borne catalyst, along with a combination of other devices, substantial reductions in toxic diesel emissions can be achieved. We can, of course, get even better results when our technology is designed into newer vehicles, but the pressing need is to improve emissions from the trucks and buses that are currently in use."

Valentine added that the testing measured average particulate reductions of 20 percent for the FBC-treated ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel (ULSD) to as high as 71 percent for the FBC/ULSD fuel used with a catalyzed wire mesh filter (CWMF) and closed crankcase vent filter (CCVF). To achieve the 50 percent reduction at a cost of under $2,000, the FBC-treated fuel was used in combination with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and CCVF.

"The closed crankcase vent filter is a way of capturing 100 percent of engine block emissions that normally go untreated. Typically, they represent 10 percent or more of total particulate emissions. Logic said our FBC/DOC system verified for 40 percent combined with a 10 percent reduction from the CCVF should give 50 percent reduction, and that is exactly what the testing proved," Valentine said.

On pre-1994 engines, the FBC/DOC combination is verified for up to 50 percent reduction and the FBC/CWMF is verified for 75 percent, so combinations of those verified systems with the CCVF should give 60-85 percent reduction.

"That is a huge reduction from older high-emitting vehicles and it can be achieved with commercially available and field-proven technologies," Valentine said.

The fuel-borne catalyst boosts overall reductions to these high levels by reducing engine-out emissions and allows more lightly catalyzed aftertreatment devices to be used. That results in lower cost, better performance and reduced levels of NO2 in the exhaust. NO2 is a strong lung irritant and can be substantially increased by traditional heavily catalyzed exhaust devices.

The FBC can be preblended in fuel at any point in the distribution chain or metered into individual vehicle fuel tanks using low-cost on-board dosing systems. CDT recently announced an agreement with the Fleetguard business unit of Cummins Inc. to blend and distribute the FBC under the Fleetguard name. Fleetguard and CDT have also tested a new on-board FBC dispensing system that will be replaced at normal maintenance intervals and is expected to be commercially available in early 2006.

On new engines equipped with high-efficiency DPFs, the FBC can help achieve reductions of up to 95 percent while improving regeneration, reducing fuel economy penalties, extending cleaning intervals and reducing the cost of the device. Over 400 DPF-equipped vehicles are using the FBC to assist with regeneration and to help avoid plugging with soot at low exhaust temperatures. More than 1,500 other vehicles including on-road and off-road equipment are using the FBC alone or with aftertreatment devices.

update:
Clean Diesel Technologies Reports 2005 Fourth-Quarter and Year-End Results
Monday , March 27, 2006 02:30 ET

STAMFORD, Conn., Mar 27, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. ("Clean Diesel" or "The Company") (OTC BB: CDTI, AIM: CDT/CDTS & XETRA: CDI), a developer of technological solutions to reduce harmful engine emissions, today announces its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

Clean Diesel reported an increase in its Platinum Plus(R) additive revenue for the year and the quarter. Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2005 was $186,000 with a net loss of $1,460,000 or $0.07 loss per share versus $194,000 of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2004 with a net loss of $1,207,000 or $0.07 loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2005 total revenue was $812,000 with a net loss of $5,426,000 or $0.30 loss per share. In the comparable 2004 period, revenue was $722,000 with a net loss of $4,143,000 or $0.26 loss per share.

Dr. Bernhard Steiner, President and CEO, commented that "2005 was a significant year for Clean Diesel's development with a strong focus on moving the sales and marketing activities forward, a key component of which was expanding our distribution partners in the US, Europe and Asia. The net loss from operations reflects our increased investment in sales and marketing. Growing awareness and global legislation for emission reduction as well as increasing incentives worldwide continue to provide tremendous potential for our technologies and products. We are now well positioned for the next stage of growth and look forward with confidence."

Clean Diesel's increase in additive sales for the fourth quarter and the year can be attributed to growth from its key beverage delivery, mining and marine customers. In addition, Clean Diesel saw increased international shipments of its Platinum Plus Fuel Borne Catalyst (FBC), primarily for use with diesel particulate filters. With rising fuel prices, Clean Diesel is also seeing a growing interest in the fuel economy improvements provided by using the FBC, both in the US and Europe. The combined market forces of increased fuel costs, higher demand for environmentally sound technologies, together with stricter regulations are expected to create a strong demand for Clean Diesel's products.

In September 2005, the Company announced a significant new distribution partner for the manufacturing and distribution of its Platinum Plus products. 2005 also saw several key patents granted relating to the Company's ARIS(R) and related SCR technologies. In addition, Clean Diesel acquired the patents and other intellectual property patent rights to a catalyzed wire mesh diesel particulate filter technology. Clean Diesel recently announced the availability of Europe's first commercial airless SCR urea system. As a result Clean Diesel is actively discussing license and distribution arrangements for the ARIS and related SCR/EGR technologies with companies in Europe, Asia and the US.

Expenses in the fourth quarter of 2005 were comparable to the fourth quarter of 2004 as lower R&D was offset by increased administrative expense. For 2005, expenses increased by $1 million as the Company invested in additional sales and marketing as well as incurred additional EPA testing expense. Included in the 2005 administrative expense is the addition of a Chief Technology Officer as well as the full year impact of several additional sales and marketing staff and related expense.

The previously announced additional testing requested by the EPA required significant time and management resources and resulted in substantial delay in Platinum Plus and hardware revenue opportunities in 2005. The Company issued a press release (November 21, 2005) summarizing the work completed on behalf of the EPA which confirmed that FBC-related platinum emissions do not pose an allergenic risk.

Dr. Steiner added that "the need for clean air and energy efficiency provides Clean Diesel with great opportunities for our existing products and future technologies. Clean Diesel's expanded distribution, additional patents and technologies and investment in sales and marketing should provide the Company with enhanced revenue opportunities in 2006. Furthermore, increased funding and incentives globally for emission reduction is expected to drive the market in 2006 and throughout the rest of the decade."
