EEEI Introduces Gen-A-Sys Auxiliary Power Unit for Trucking Industry
Wednesday April 2, 11:15 am ET


DANBURY, CT--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 2, 2008 -- Electro Energy Inc. (NasdaqCM:EEEI - News), a leading provider of advanced battery technologies and associated systems, will introduce its Gen-A-Sys® anti-idling technology for the trucking industry in a press conference today at its Danbury, CT headquarters. The Gen-A-Sys® anti-idling solutions, jointly developed by Electro Energy and Enertek Corporation, are the next generation in auxiliary power units for long-haul and local delivery trucks. The Gen-A-Sys® products have been installed on a vintage 1987 359 Peterbilt, which will be on view during the press conference.


Representatives from Enertek and Electro Energy will demonstrate the patent-pending Gen-A-Sys® systems which provide an all-electric source of cab heating, cooling and hotel load power utilizing advanced battery technology developed by Electro Energy. The Gen-A-Sys® +DC (daycab) solution utilizes only batteries for the electrical power. The Gen-A-Sys® Q, a hybrid battery-diesel generator solution, provides auxiliary power for longer durations or heavier loads. The show truck is outfitted with both systems.

Michael Reed, Electro Energy's President and CEO, said, "Many states now have commercial truck anti-idling regulations and as of January 1, 2008 any Class 8 truck entering the State of California is required to have an anti-idling system installed. The Gen-A-Sys® systems power the truck hotel loads resulting in reduced exhaust emissions, noise and fuel expense compared to idling the truck engine. Electro Energy's advanced battery technology reduces the weight of these systems enabling greater freight loading and revenue potential for truck operators."

Enertek co-principals Paul Baumann and Bruce Wingen began a nationwide press tour promoting the Gen-A-Sys® system at the 2008 Mid-America Truck Show in Louisville, Kentucky last week. They will continue the tour meeting with media and industry representatives in Winston-Salem, NC; Bentonville, AR; Houston, TX; Sacramento, CA and many other cities along the way ending in Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 1, 2008.
