    TURBO POWER SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES NEW RAIL CONTRACT

    Turbo Power Systems Inc ("TPS"), the innovative electrical machines and electronic systems provider, today announces that it has
received a new contract order from Bombardier Derby for the supply of Battery Chargers for their new generation of BOMBARDIER TURBOSTAR
trains.

    The contract, which is valued in excess of �600,000, is for 93 off units. These units maintain the charge in the railcar batteries
packs, providing back-up power to the lighting, emergency and ancillary systems in the event of a main power failure. This equipment is an
updated version of an established product previously supplied to Bombardier.

    Deliveries are scheduled to commence in January 2009 and will be built into TURBOSTAR trains being supplied to leading rolling stock
leasing companies, Angel Trains and Porterbrook. 

    Commenting on the initial contract, Paul Summers, Chief Executive Officer of Turbo Power Systems, said:

    "This new contract with Bombardier is another good example of the way in which TPS through its technology has been able to establish
itself as a reliable and trusted supplier to the leading players in the rail sector and attract orders from blue chip customers".

    BOMBARDIER and TURBOSTAR are trademarks of Bombardier Inc. or its subsidiaries.
