Hi ...........,

Thanks for the info on Titan.

The Titan tractors utilize (at least some models) indirect injection combustion technology. This is a very old technology that was utilized to minimize costs. These engines are not suitable for DME.

We are already involved in some early investigations into the AG market. There is definitely some potential. We have a good background with the AG market, having worked for International Harvester (later became Navistar).

The main roadblock to entering any market with DME is to find the funding to do the work. Any new engine/application for DME requires significant design, development and emissions testing. This is very expensive and generally requires government assistance. If you look around the world where DME vehicles have been developed, all of these projects received the bulk of their funding from government sources. Examples: Volvo Truck; Mitsubishi; Other Japanese Companies; Korea (KIER, KAIST); China-Shanghai Diesel. NO individual company has developed a DME vehicle without outside (mostly government) assistance.

We are developing a new DME fuel system that will meet 2010 HD emissions without exhaust treatment. If successful, this technology would reduce engine/vehicle costs by $10,000.

I can’t possibly do a monthly conference call at this time. My average work week exceeds 75 hrs and I can’t work more. When I am not working I am sleeping. We will still do an update shortly and continue to post non confidential information on our website.
