(OTC Bulletin Board: REGRF; Vancouver: RRE) and its US subsidiary REGI U.S., Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RGUS) announced today that the Company is proceeding to build and test the Rand Cam(TM) pump in high volume transmission applications. The design of the new pump application is currently underway by Paul LaMarche, REGI's engineer in Detroit, Mich. and will proceed with a production packaging evaluation in the rear wheel drive transmission. The evaluation will include the following: * Demonstrate packagability * Enable functional testing at the Automatic Transmission New Product Center in Livonia * Enable in vehicle evaluation * Check functionality given packaging constraints * Ease cost comparison * Ease manufacturing evaluation The first Rand Cam(TM) pump is currently being tested in Detroit. The automotive testing facilities, which are dedicated to pre-production development programs, will complete the testing on the new pump. The testing will include in lab testing as well as vehicle on the road evaluation. ABOUT REG TECHNOLOGIES, INC./REGI U.S., INC. Reg Technologies, Inc./REGI US, Inc. have been testing and developing numerous Rand Cam(TM) applications over several years such as diesel engine, compressor and pump applications.
