Catalytic Solutions, Inc.
(The "Company")
heavy-duty diesel business positioned to supply retrofit products under stimulus
bill
Catalytic Solutions, Inc. (AIM: CTS and CTSU), the company behind Mixed Phase
Catalyst (MPC ) technology, announces that its Heavy-Duty Diesel Systems
business is well prepared to meet the potential increased demand for its
heavy-duty diesel emission control systems as fleet owners take advantage of the
US$300 million in stimulus funding under the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) program.
The Obama Administration's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA), signed into law by President Obama on Feb. 17, 2009 makes the funding
available to heavy-duty diesel on-road vehicles and off-road equipment owners to
retrofit their engines to reduce diesel emissions. These private and public
fleets commonly include school buses, urban buses, municipal and state fleets,
as well as off-road equipment used in construction and cargo handling. The
funding for DERA represents a six-fold increase from the 2008 funding level and
will be administered by the EPA. In addition to the US$300 million stimulus
spending, the recently approved U.S. House and Senate FY 2009 Omnibus
Appropriations Bill provides an additional US$60 million in funding for DERA
activities.
As a leading provider of verified emission control products, Catalytic
Solutions' subsidiary Engine Control Systems Limited offers a full line of
emission control systems which reduce harmful emissions created from diesel,
propane, gasoline and natural gas engines used in on-road and off-road
applications. The Company's broad range of EPA and California Air Resources
Board (CARB) verified retrofit products meet increasingly stringent emission
regulations and currently represent 35% of EPA verified devices and 35% of CARB
Level 3 verified devices, excluding those used in auxiliary power unit
applications.Level 3 verification includes those technologies achieving at least
an 85 percent or greater reduction in particulate matter (PM).

States by independent dealer networks as well as through the dealer network of
