Energy & Engine Technology Corporation Requests Removal From Listing on the Berlin Stock Exchange
PLANO, Texas, Sept. 1 -- Energy & Engine Technology Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: EENT) recently discovered that its stock has been listed on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange without its knowledge, consent or authorization. EENT's inhouse counsel has been instructed to contact the exchange authorities, broker dealers, market makers and other parties responsible for the unauthorized listing, and to take all necessary action to immediately remove its stock from listing on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange. Counsel has also been instructed to assess whether the Company has any legal recourse against any of the parties involved to recover damages from this unauthorized listing.
Based upon other recent public announcements, the Company has discerned that it appears that over 200 U.S. publicly traded companies have been listed on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange without company authorization. Apparently listing on the Exchange is an attempt by certain parties to avoid U.S. restrictions against naked short selling in avoidance of NASD Rule 3370 and similar rules. EENT hopes that this prompt action will prevent any adverse effect to its stock price from any naked short selling occurring due to this unauthorized listing.
About Energy & Engine Technology Corporation
EENT (http://www.eent.net/ ), headquartered in Plano, Texas, develops and markets auxiliary power generators for the long haul trucking industry. The Company's common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "EENT". The Company's flagship product, the AXP 1000, is an idle-reduction technology device, designed for new and retrofit installation on semi truck tractors, that provides power generation without requiring the operation of the truck's engine. Powered by an EPA-approved and CARB-certified engine, the AXP 1000 maintains the truck's battery power while delivering electricity for air conditioning, heating, and the operation of televisions, appliances and other devices, to the sleeper cab, thereby reducing fuel consumption, air/noise pollution and long-term truck maintenance costs. (Instead of the 10-15 gallons of diesel fuel consumed through idling each day, the AXP 1000 consumes approximately 1 gallon of diesel fuel in an equivalent amount of time). The Company is targeting a significant market opportunity created by governmental mandates that limit the aggregate amount of idling time available to long haul truckers. Management believes that Federal and State regulations, along with new and more stringent legislation that became effective in January 2004, have paved the way for a $2.5 billion industry. There are an estimated 500,000 or more Class 8 sleeper trucks currently operating in the U.S., with over 80,000 new Class 8 trucks being produced each year. Management believes that even moderate penetration of the market for anti-idling devices could result in significant sales and earnings for the Company. Anticipated metrics on unit sales suggest that for each 1,000 AXP 1000 units sold (at $5,000 each), the Company should generate gross revenue of approximately $5,000,000.
