("CAP" or "the Company")
Update on Tesco Demonstrator truck
Clean Air Power Limited (AIM:CAP), the developer and provider of Dual-Fuel(TM)
technology provides the following update with regard to the trial by Tesco plc
of a Euro 3 Mercedes - Axor truck, which was converted to run on diesel and
natural gas and delivered to Tesco in August 2006.
The trial of the Dual-Fuel(TM) truck has met with all of Tesco's objectives,
which include driver acceptability and achieving certain operational performance
bench marks. Additionally, the trial unit has achieved a CO2 emission reduction
equivalent of around 10 tonnes of CO2 per annum whilst reducing their fuel cost
by more than 15%.
The trial vehicle continues to run in the Tesco fleet, based from the Harlow
Depot, mainly operating in London. To date, Tesco have not ordered any further
Dual-Fuel(TM) vehicles.
Tesco have recognised the environmental benefits of Clean Air Power's Dual-
Fuel(TM) technology and have expressed a willingness to support Clean Air Power
with their discussions with manufacturers. These discussions relate to looking
to secure the incorporation of Dual-Fuel(TM) technology on Euro 4 and Euro 5
emissions compliant trucks. Whilst Clean Air Power is in discussions with a
number of manufacturers, such discussions are not yet at an advanced stage.
