Tongxin International Ltd. to Participate in Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers Production Line in China

 Leading Commercial Vehicle Manufacturer Signs Contract with Tongxin for
                          On-Site Manufacturing

CHANGSHA, China, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Tongxin International Ltd. , a China-based manufacturer of engineered vehicle body structures ("EVBS" or "truck cabs"), announced today a contract with a leading Chinese commercial vehicle manufacturer to assemble two of the customer's truck cab models on-site.

Tongxin reported that this is the first time in the Company's history that it has directly participated on the assembly line of a truck manufacturer in China. A team of Tongxin staff will work on the production line of the manufacturer to assemble parts shipped from Tongxin's Changsha-based facility. The parts will ship to the truck manufacturer as a Complete Knock Down ("CKD") for welding, finishing and eventual fitting to the finished truck chassis.

Assembly will begin approximately the week of August 17 at the manufacturer's facility under a 5-year contract starting in 2009. Tongxin will assemble two of its most common over-the-engine cabs, models 1040 and 1085, both of which are considered "light truck" cabs. The manufacturer opted to have Tongxin assemble its cabs on-site instead of purchasing the complete cab bodies direct from Tongxin to save on shipping costs and capitalize on Tongxin's expertise in building engineered vehicle body structures.

"We continue to see an increased trend by our customers in China to outsource cab manufacturing to proven suppliers in market," began CEO and Vice-Chairman Duanxiang Zhang. "We were not surprised to see one of our customers take this step to utilize our expertise on their assembly line. This agreement created a win-win for our customer and Tongxin by reducing shipping costs for our customer while expanding the breadth and volume of our product offering," Zhang concluded.

For the past two years, Tongxin models 1040 and 1085 were sold to the customer in increasing volumes. The value of the contract is forecasted to yield revenues of $3 million to $4 million in 2009, annualized $7 million to $8 million afterwards in year two which represents a 15% increase in sales to one of Tongxin International's top customers.
