("Clean Air Power" or "the Company")
New Euro 5 'Genesis' Product Launch
Clean Air Power Limited (AIM: CAP), the developer of Dual-Fuel(TM) combustion
technology that enables heavy-duty diesel engines to run on a combination of
both diesel and natural gas, is pleased to announce the launch of a Euro 5
compatible version of its 'Genesis' system for the UK and European markets for
trucks which meet the latest European emissions regulations.
In launching this new product, Clean Air Power can open up new revenue channels
which were previously closed off due to the former product only being Euro 3
compliant. Despite the Euro 3 compatible Genesis product having received good
levels of interest, potential customers have naturally become increasingly
focused on being able to acquire more recent Euro 5 compliant vehicles.
Accordingly the Company is optimistic that this launch will enable previous
expressions of interest to be converted into product orders.
This Euro 5 'Genesis' system, which is sold directly to operators by Clean Air
Power, was developed by applying the Company's patented technology to a Volvo
Euro 5 emissions compliant 13 litre truck.
From 1 October 2009, emissions from all heavy commercial vehicles sold must
comply with Euro 5, the latest European standard. Emissions levels permitted at
Euro 5 (2009) are significantly lower than at Euro 3 (2000).
Clean Air Power's 'Genesis' system is a retro-fitted in house product which can
be installed and marketed without the need for formal co-operation of the truck
manufacturers. The solution does not interface directly with a vehicle's own
engine management system and around 50% of the diesel normally used by the
vehicle is substituted for gas.
Clean Air Power has produced a demonstration vehicle which is already on trial
with a major blue chip company and further trials are already planned.
Commenting on the new product launch, John Pettitt, CEO of Clean Air Power said:
"The launch of this Euro 5 'Genesis' system is a significant milestone for the
Company to have reached and we anticipate levels of customer demand to be high
as the new product replaces the Euro 3 system that has already achieved
significant interest within the industry. I am delighted that our engineering
team have delivered on time again. This latest Genesis product opens up the UK
and European market and will provide a useful additional revenue source for the
Company as we continue the development of the Volvo interfaced version of our
product in partnership with Volvo. "

reducing transport operators overheads.

pending. The holding company of the Group is based in Bermuda with operational
