Turbodyne Receives Product AwardWOODLAND HILLS, Ca., March 26 /CNW-PRN/ - Turbodyne Technologies Inc. (``Turbodyne'') today announced that Heavy Duty Trucking magazine has named the Turbopac(TM) and Dynacharger(TM) systems as one of the best 50 products of 1997. Heavy Duty Trucking's ``Nifty Fifty Awards'' showcase the best product introductions of the year. In terms of innovation, serviceability and performance, this product has done the best job of meeting a specific market need. The winning products were based on their usefulness to the trucking industry. The Turbopac(TM) is an electronic supercharger that provides additional air through remote sensors that monitor an engine's demand for power. It consists of a high-speed brushless motor and electronic controller, and works on turbocharged or non-turbocharged engines. The Dynacharger(TM) is essentially a Turbopac(TM) that's already built into a turbocharger, ideal for original equipment manufacturers. The Turbopac(TM) has been recognized as the only anti-pollution product that substantially increases engine power and fuel economy, while significantly decreasing harmful pollutants. With the Turbopac(TM), less fuel is burned and burning less fuel directly reduces carbon dioxide, the primary contributor to global warming.
