Business Wire
Alkane, Inc. (Pinksheets:ALKN) is pleased to announce that it
has entered into an agreement to distribute Monster Diesel™ in
South Korea. The agreement grants Mervita, LLC. exclusive
distribution rights of Monster Diesel™ in South Korea for five
years. As part of the agreement, Mervita, LLC. has committed to
purchase a minimum of $11.5 million of Monster Diesel™ over the
next five years. They have initially purchased $50,000 of Monster
Diesel™, which is scheduled to ship to Mervita, LLC. by the end of
December.
Mervita, LLC. tested Monster Diesel™ on 100 diesel vehicles in
South Korea and noted results of an average of 9% increase in fuel
mileage. Monster Diesel™ decreases total emissions by 23%, reduces
raw hydrocarbons by 10.2% with a 38% reduction of soot, altering
common diesel air pollution into a more environmentally friendlier
diesel.
Mervita, LLC. becoming the first international distributor of
Monster Diesel™ is happening at the perfect time. This past

domestic auto industry, the largest since the North American Free
Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico in 1994.

to internationally launch the Diesel Fuel Additive Monster Diesel™.
South Korea is a gateway to Japan, the World’s second largest
economy, and three out of four of the rapid growing BRIC
countries.

success in Korea due to both its environmental and economic
benefits. We look forward to cooperating with Alkane to advance the
