    IRVINE, Calif., July 19 QUANTUM Technologies WorldWide,

effort to improve the performance of alternative fuel vehicles.  During the
past year, the companies worked together on two projects: a prototype liquid
propane gas (LPG) fuel-injected Ford F-150, and a prototype LPG fuel-injected
Ford Crown Victoria passenger car.  Ford is currently evaluating the
performance of these vehicles.  Preliminary test data indicate that overall
system performance is exceeding expectations.  Future collaborative efforts
