Energy & Engine Technology Corporation Announces Initial Industry Response to New AXP Technology

PLANO, Texas, Oct. 7, 2004 -- Energy & Engine Technology Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: EENT) announces that it introduced its new technology prototype for the long haul trucking industry, the AXP InfiniGen, this week at the American Trucking Associations' Management Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. The prototype unit was turned on Monday, October 4th at 2:00 p.m. and operated continuously until 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 6th for a total of 49 hours.

This second generation AXP technology, for which there is now a patent pending, powers the cab's "creature comforts" and has the following unique set of characteristics:

   * No engine idling
   * No fuel consumption
   * No emissions
   * Full Sine-Wave power
   * No noise
   * Split HVAC unit option
   * Auto recharging without use of truck systems
   * Easy portability from vehicle to vehicle
   * No maintenance

The AXP InfiniGen initial design is intended to ultimately provide the kilowatts needed for up to 34 hours of continuous operation for federally mandated off duty rotations (required to be off duty for 34 consecutive hours after 60/70 hours on duty in any 7/8 consecutive day period) without reliance on the truck's batteries or charging systems.

The prototype of the technology was displayed at the ATA Show and strong interest was indicated from Senior Management of numerous mid- and large-sized trucking companies, which have requested notification of commercial availability of the device in the first quarter of 2005 for in service testing. EENT has invited these companies to participate in testing to achieve exposure of the product's capability and to assess interest in fleet wide implementation.

Increasing regulatory restrictions on truck engine idling have spawned interest in rapid development of power alternatives over the past several years. Reduction in idling not only provides environmental and economic benefits but also enhances the safety of American highways by assisting drivers to comply with mandated rest periods comfortably, thus increasing quality of driver rest during off periods and increasing retention of experienced drivers. Additional benefits include saving the cost of turnover and training, and better safety records decrease accident rates and thus mitigate against increasing insurance premiums.

While the benefits of current technology are admirable, the industry has faced challenges related to (i) inconsistent federal, state and local government regulation on idling limits, (ii) necessity of retrofitting existing truck fleets which were not manufactured with the option of addition of auxiliary power devices in the truck design, and (iii) lack of ingenuity to develop a comprehensive solution that would work in any location for sufficiently long time periods to meet federal driver rest period mandates.

With these three hurdles in mind, EENT has pursued a comprehensive solution as a further improvement to its original product, the AXP 1000, which was a diesel engine powered device. The development effort has resulted in an encouraging product design which has shown potential to address the need for a comprehensive solution for greatly reduced or possibly even zero idling.

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 second generation flagship product, the AXP InfiniGen, is an idle-elimination technology, designed for new and retrofit installation on semi truck tractors, that provides power generation without requiring the operation of the truck's engine. The AXP InfiniGen delivers electricity for air conditioning, heating, and the operation of televisions, appliances and other devices to the sleeper cab, without any fuel consumption, air or noise pollution or maintenance. This allows for the reduction of fuel consumption, air/noise pollution and long term truck maintenance costs associated with the truck's main engine. 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 the potential to pave the way for a $20 billion industry. There are an estimated 1.9 million or more Class 8 sleeper trucks currently operating in the U.S., with over 84,000 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.
