LNR Linamar Corp

Linamar Corporation (TSX:LNR) has entered the consumer products market with
electric motor technology powering a 'green' electric lawnmower. Linamar's
innovative motor offers the convenience of an environmental friendly electric
mower with the cutting power of a traditional internal combustion engine.


The motor technology, produced by Linamar Consumer Products, a Linamar Company,
is known as the Terra Phase Power System. The Terra Phase motor is literally the
driving force of Linamar's lawnmower product and creates performance comparable
to a traditional gas motor.


The Linamar cordless, electric mower uses no oil, no gas and can last up-to an
hour on one battery charge. The addition of a solar re-charge option makes this
product a truly green alternative for maintaining your lawn.


"We are excited to introduce our Terra Phase motor technology to the public,
it's a product we are very proud of and it unites many of our core competencies
of research, development, innovation and assembly. Plus, it has a tremendously
positive impact on our environment," said Linda Hasenfratz, CEO of Linamar
Corporation.


Retailers have been enthusiastic about the product and its environmental
benefits. Three major retailers will carry the lawnmower this spring, including
The Home Depot who recognizes Linamar's lawnmower as part of its "Eco Options"
line-up of environmentally friendly products, which consists of over 1,500
SKU's.


"Mow Down Pollution, is a joint program between The Home Depot & Clean Air
Foundation, introduced to encourage consumers to replace old gas lawnmowers with
more efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives, such as Linamar's
electric mower," said Annette Verschuren, President of The Home Depot Canada &
Asia. "The Home Depot carries more than 1,500 Eco Options products and is
pleased to carry Linamar's Solaris lawnmowers in our stores this spring."


The Home Depot's Eco Options label identifies products for consumers that have
less of an impact on the environment than conventional products. To be certified
as an Eco Options product, suppliers must answer a series of detailed questions
and provide supporting documentation proving their products environmental
benefits.


The motor in the lawnmower product is consistent with Linamar's business
strategy of using diversity and innovation to continue to sustain and grow its
business. To learn more about Linamar Consumer Products visit:
