KleenAir Secures Exclusive U.K. Rights For CRT Particulate Trap

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--May 22, 2001--KleenAir Systems Inc. (OTCBB:KAIR) has announced the signing of a letter of intent for exclusive U.K. distribution rights for a line of CRT Particulate Traps and Diesel Oxidizing Catalysts.
    The agreement will also cover private labeling of these products under the KleenAir brand name and NOxMaster registered trademark on a worldwide basis, including the United States.
    These products have received extensive testing and certification in Sweden with results that the company believes will give it a competitive advantage in terms of the cost/performance ratio. These products are currently being delivered. They are in use on vehicles and off-road equipment and they are performing satisfactorily. The company believes they will enable it to achieve revenue later in the year.
    It is the company's intention to integrate the CRT with its NOxMaster(R) NOx reduction system in order to achieve both significant particulate and NOx reduction, as well as virtually eliminating hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO). There is no current combination system being delivered in the market capable of simultaneously reducing a high degree of particulates of all sizes as well as most of the NOx.
    Such systems in the United States are geared primarily to heavy-duty diesel engines used on buses, trucks, construction equipment, agricultural equipment and now also marine applications. However, in the United Kingdom and Europe, where more than 30% of passenger vehicles are diesel powered, the company intends to market a smaller scale cost-effective combination system as well as a heavy-duty system.
    KleenAir has a unique computer controlled ammonia system, the NOxMaster(TM), which, when injected into the exhaust stream, interacts with NOx produced during combustion. The result converts environmentally hazardous NOx into harmless nitrogen and water. In addition, the company's catalytic converters significantly reduce particulates as well as hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO).
