VANCOUVER, BC--July 12, 2012: REGI U.S., Inc. (OTC BB: RGUS), (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: RGJ) and Reg Technologies Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: RRE.V, OTC BB: REGRF) are pleased to provide the following progress report on the development of the RadMax engine:

  • The current focus of the engineering efforts are to assist Williams and White Machine Inc., of Burnaby, BC, as they manufacture and assemble the current prototype design.
  • The existing prototype design is being modified to run on diesel, and both compressed and liquid natural gas. The diesel will be tested initially, followed by natural gas. These modifications will not delay the testing of the diesel prototype.
  • Schedule for the manufacturing and assembly of the prototype: Currently the majority of all components needed, are completed, the remainder are in process and nearing completion.
  • Work on an assembly procedure for the diesel prototype engine is under final review.

John Robertson, President of Reg and REGI, states, "The decision to test and run on natural gas, as well as diesel, has been made due to the fact that Canada and the U.S. have an abundance of natural gas, which is environmentally friendly and less expensive than gasoline products now available in today's automobiles and trucks."

ABOUT REGI U.S., INC. AND REG TECHNOLOGIES INC.

Reg Technologies Inc. and REGI U.S., Inc. are developing for commercialization an improved axial vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam/RadMax rotary technology used in the revolutionary design of lightweight and high efficiency engines, compressors and pumps. The RadMax engine has only two unique moving parts, the vanes (up to 12) and the rotor, compared to the 40 moving parts in a simple four-cylinder piston engine. This innovative design makes it possible to produce up to 24 continuous power impulses per one rotation that is vibration-free and extremely quiet. The RadMax engine also has multi-fuel capabilities allowing it to operate on fuels including gasoline, natural gas, hydrogen, propane and diesel.
