Energy & Engine Technology Corporation Announces EPA Penalizes Company With Idling Fine in Excess of $109,000 and Rise in Class 8 Truck Sales

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 2 -- Energy & Engine Technology Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: EENT) recently became aware of a U.S. EPA fine against a Massachusetts company of $109,120 for violation of state anti idling regulations. The EPA charges stated that the company's delivery trucks idled for nearly 1,000 minutes between August 2003 and March 2004. EPA enforced a Massachusetts law prohibiting motor vehicles from engine idling more than 5 minutes when stopped as part of its effort to aid states in meeting federal air quality standards. (See http://www.etrucker.com/ article entitled "EPA slaps company with $109,120 fine" by Jill Dunn). This recent action highlights the ever increasing need to utilize anti idling devices such as solutions provided by EENT.

Additionally, ttnews.com states that the volume of sales of Class 8 trucks in May 2004 was 28.8% higher than the volume in May 2003. In addition, May was the seventh consecutive month of increases in sales of ten percent or more. Lastly, the Transport Topics edition for the Week of August 23, 2004, in an article entitled "Diesel Hits Record $1.825" by Michael G. Malloy, states that "[f]or the third straight week, the Department of Energy said the average U.S. retail price of diesel fuel that powers the trucking industry pushed into record territory." Higher volume of truck sales and increase in diesel fuel prices are both factors that should increase the demand for anti idling devices such as EENT's AXP 1000.

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.
