French Move To Full-scale Test of the Bus Turbopac(TM)

3 June 1998

Turbodyne Technologies Inc. Announces French Move To Full-scale Test of the Bus Turbopac(TM)

    WOODLAND HILLS, Ca., June 3 /CNW-PRN/ - Turbodyne Technologies Inc.
announced today that following successful
engineering tests in April by French public transport giant RATP (Regie
Autonome des Transports Parisiens), full-scale in revenue service tests are to
begin immediately to confirm fuel economy benefits and operational
reliability, supporting excellent emissions reduction data already obtained.
    To facilitate these tests, Turbodyne has produced custom built retrofit
Turbopac(TM) kits to fit the very limited space available in the French-built
Renault (RVI) bus engine compartment.  These custom kits, which reduce
emissions by more than 50% while saving fuel and other operational costs, have
been engineered, produced and shipped by Turbodyne in a record four weeks.
This indicates the importance of responding quickly to the largest public
transport company in Europe, and fulfills Turbodyne's stated objective of
penetrating the lucrative European market.
    Turbodyne President and CEO, Walter Ware said, ``The Turbopac(TM)
represents a self financing solution to a very serious environmental and
health situation which affects every major city in the world. This move to
full scale testing mirrors the successful program followed by eight major U.S.
City transportation authorities. The difference in France is, because it is a
nationalized authority, only one authority is involved in opening the door to
its national bus fleet.  The city of Paris alone operates 4,000 buses.''
    ``This builds on the recent announcement by Detroit Diesel of its
commercial launch of the Turbopac(TM) Bus Kit at the American Public Transit
Association's Bus Operations and Technology Management Conference,'' said
Turbodyne's founder and Chairman Edward Halimi.  ``Turbodyne's delivery of the
initial stocking order to Detroit Diesel's Parts Distribution Center
represents the major turning point for Turbodyne from an R&D company to a
manufacturing company and supplier to the global automotive industry.''
    ``None of this would have been possible without the leadership and
relationship-building efforts of our President and CEO, Walter Ware,''
continued Halimi.  ``This breakthrough in winning a major global OEM's
business, plus establishing the manufacturing base, positions Turbodyne to
open opportunities and expand business in areas that have heretofore not been
possible.''
