PICKERING, ON, Dec. 2, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Dynamic Fuel Systems Inc. is pleased to provide to its shareholders and the investing public a detailed summary of an Independent 3rd Party Report entitled "Evaluating the Effects of Jetstar(tm) Hydrogen Injection Technology on Fuel Economy and Emissions" prepared by Emisstar LLC of Austin, Texas. Emisstar is a recognized leader in their field.

Further information on Emisstar LLC may be found at www.emisstar.com

The objective of the testing was to evaluate the effects of the Jetstar(TM) hydrogen insertion technology on fuel economy and emissions for Class 8 Heavy Duty diesel trucks.

Fuel economy was measured using the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J1321 test procedure which includes a control vehicle to be run simultaneously with a test vehicle on the same course at the same time under ambient weather and road conditions.

The emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) total hydrocarbons (THC), nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were measured using a portable emissions measuring system (PEMS) in grams/mile with conversions to g/bhp-hr.

Except for model year, the two trucks were the same make, model, rated horsepower, drive train components as well as engine displacement. To simulate payload conditions each truck was loaded with an equal number of 55 gallon drums containing water. Test weights were established at 32,500 pounds. Drivers were thoroughly trained, possessed similar driving skills and performed a series of trial test cycles prior to performing the actual baseline and final tests to ensure that the cycles were driven as intended.

The testing took place in Romulus Michigan commencing on September 18th 2008 and concluding on October 30th 2008.

As documented in the report, "The strict repeatability requirements of the SAE J1321 specification were met and data for the Baseline and Final test rounds are valid. The overall fuel economy value was improved by 7.02 percent by deploying the Jetstar(TM)".

However, the fuel economy values for the Test truck on the baseline test (no Jetstar(TM)) vs. the final test (with Jetstar(TM)) in each of the three test segments are as follows:

Emissions were captured and analyzed using the SEMTECH-DS mobile emissions analyzer on each test and control truck providing laboratory quality analysis of key exhaust gas components. This system uses an exhaust flow meter (EFM) together with pollutant concentrations, to calculate instantaneous and total mass emissions. Fuel Economy was measured using SAE Standard J1094a.

The Baseline and Final Test on emissions reductions for the Test Truck (with Jetstar(TM)) for the entire test round indicated reductions in:

    
    
1. CO by 31.01%;
    
2. CO2 by 14.45%;
    
3. NOx
  
by 18.53%; and
    
4. THC by 30.50%.
    

Copies of the complete report will be made available to Dynamic's partners, dealers, customers and prospective customers upon request and upon approval by Dynamic.
