American Millennium Corporation Announces Engineering Award Within General Motors Corporation for GM SkyNet System

    GOLDEN, Colo.--April 12, 2001--American Millennium Corporation, Inc. (OTCBB:AMCI), announced today that Ronald J. Grajewski and Marek Kupczyk, GM Truck Group Engineering, Pontiac, MI, have been selected to receive GM's "Boss Kettering" Award, the top technical honor at General Motors Corporation , for their work on the GM SkyNet project.
    AMCI developed the technology for the project's vehicle tracking and data communication system, announcing on January 30, 2001, the production release of the second phase of GM SkyNet.
    "GM's Boss Kettering (BK) Award Program was established 25 years ago to recognize individuals from every region of the globe who have developed truly outstanding inventions, or innovations that have provided identifiable and substantial benefit to General Motors," according to an official GM release. "The BK Award continues to recognize documented technical enablers for business practices as well as `industry firsts' or innovations which provide notable leaps in technology or process. In addition to new vehicle features, innovations may include documented processes used in vehicle development, manufacturing or delivery systems."
    The GM release stated that the BK Award was presented to Grajewski and Kupczyk for: "GM SkyNet: Satellite-Based Vehicle Data Acquisition System -- The auto industry's first low earth orbit, satellite-based vehicle tracking and data acquisition system. GM SkyNet enables real time or accumulated vehicle development data access, on a global basis."
    Andrew F. Cauthen, President and CEO of AMCI, said: "We announced in January of last year that AMCI engineering was providing custom in-vehicle software, subscriber communicators (SCs), antennas, vehicle interface boards, and a specialized website to be used for tracking and communication with GM's test vehicle fleet. Since then, our engineering team has worked closely with the General Motors Truck Group (GMTG) to meet their technical requirements for GM SkyNet. We are most pleased with the relationship, and congratulate Ron and Marek for being selected for the prestigious Award."
    According to AMCI VP of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer Bruce R. Bacon: "With the GM SkyNet system installed in the vehicle, from the desktop and using only a web browser, GMTG's staff can see where the vehicle is located on a map, view engine start and stop events, and communicate directly with the vehicle's onboard data network. The ability to have affordable worldwide wireless communication with the electronic modules in the vehicle is revolutionary. Near real-time access to vehicle diagnostic and operating data opens up all kinds of pre- and post-production opportunities."
    Cauthen continued: "The GMTG encompasses GM's lines of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) such as the Jimmy, Blazer, Suburban, Yukon, and Tahoe, as well as small pickups, the Silverado and Sierra light trucks, the van and utility vehicle lines, and medium-duty commercial trucks." According to company sources, AMCI's recent success within the GM project include adding GM SkyNet to the Specialty Vehicle Group and the Hummer program, with test vehicles now located in Columbia and Mexico.
