05/6/2008 15:24 | MTG Just to stop you talking to yourself thought i'd post here as well That IC contract worth upto $120m looks big! Hope Enova has the ability to gear up to that level of production! Wonder how many of the 2800 are going to TAN in 2008? In my talks to TAN it seems that they do not buy any single complete drive train system from ENV but component parts some of the rest they told me they have manufactured themselves and hold the patents. This apparently applies to the whole of the drivetrain for the Ampere. | bearraider | |

28/3/2008 18:44 | Hydrogen refuelling feasible 'within months' 28 Mar 08 ITM Power Plc, a fuel cell and electrolyser development company, and design/engineering group Roush Technologies Ltd have signed a co-operative agreement that 'could see carbon dioxide-free commercial vehicles being marketed in Britain within months.' The two companies are to team up on a project to put hydrogen-powered vehicles on Britain's roads. Roush is to work on solutions to convert existing internal-combustion petrol engines to run on hydrogen and on the development of all-new bespoke hydrogen-fuelled engines. The only by-product of burning hydrogen in an engine is water vapour. ITM Power is developing hydrogen refuelling stations and a system whereby operators can generate their own hydrogen on-site by the electrolysis of water. An electrolyser system is to go into production in Sheffield later this year that can produce hydrogen from water using either off-peak or renewable-source electricity generated by wind, wave or solar power. Although engines using hydrogen are already in production - BMW has made a small number of hydrogen-fuelled 7-Series saloons - and fuel cell cars (with on-board electrolysis to convert hydrogen fuel into electrical energy) are near to commercial reality, both solutions need a supply infrastructure for hydrogen. ITM's CEO Jim Heathcote said: 'We are committed to bringing practical hydrogen power into the automotive market place within a dramatically reduced timeframe. Whilst [the project] initially involves the commercial vehicle sector, it will demonstrate the wider potential of hydrogen technology to help cut CO2 emissions and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.' | asparks | |

The increase was attributed to the largest unit shipment volume in the history of the Company at 384 units for 2007. In 2007, Tanfield Engineering Systems Limited and International Truck and Engine Corporation comprised of 52% and 15%, respectively of our revenues. In the prior year 2006, revenues were primarily derived from our relationships with Hyundai Motor Company and the State of Hawaii, representing 39% and 16%, respectively. In 2007, Enova focused on building new customer relationships in an effort to support our migration into the first phase of a production company. While we did continue several development projects throughout the year, the process by which management selected which development projects were accepted in 2007 largely depended on our assessment of which contracts had the greatest potential for a production relationship. Cost of Revenues. Cost of sales consists of component and material costs, direct labor costs, integration costs and overhead related to manufacturing our products. Product development costs incurred in the performance of engineering development contracts for the U.S. Government and private companies are charged to cost of sales. Our customers continue to require additional integration and support services to customize, integrate, and evaluate our products. We believe that a portion of these costs are initial, one-time costs for these customers and anticipate similar costs to be incurred with respect to new customers as we gain additional market share. Customers who have been using our products over one year do not typically incur this same type of initial costs. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 primarily attributable to the increase in sales for the year and the associated one-time costs as discussed above. | m.t.glass | |

27/11/2007 07:24 | Enova Systems Enova to Display RNS Number:5445I Enova Systems, Inc. 27 November 2007 Enova Systems to Display Unique Production and Development Technologies at EVS 23 Conference TORRANCE, CA, November 27, 2007 - Enova Systems, (AMEX: ENA and AIM: ENV and ENVS), an early stage production company in an emerging industry and a leading developer of proprietary electric, hybrid and fuel cell digital power management systems, announced today that it will present Ultra-Capacitor technology for Hybrid Vehicles at the world's largest Electric Vehicle Symposium, EVS 23 in Anaheim from Dec 2-5. Additionally, Enova, along with IC Corporation will display their production Hybrid School and Commercial Bus. Various other examples of Enova's unique and proprietary technologies will also be displayed including their Power Control Unit, which is currently being delivered to Think Global for their use on all of their Electric Vehicles. Terry Morano, Enova's Director of Worldwide Sales said "Enova is poised to display some of its unique production capabilities, as well as display what we feel are critical new technologies that will further grow the market. EVS will be an excellent forum for our company to continue establishing our position in the market as a World Leading production supplier." The ultra capacitor technology that will be displayed shows Enova's ongoing commitment to evaluating and determining the best source of energy for their customer's performance and drive cycle expectation. It is expected that ultra capacitors will provide incremental starting energy to an electric motor. The energy from the ultra capacitor should then feed the electric-drive motor, which is located in the drive-train. The result of this action is that ultra capacitors can capture a significant amount of regenerative braking energy, which could enhance the fuel economy of a hybrid vehicle. A production Hybrid School Bus and Commercial Bus, built by IC Corp, the nation's largest school bus manufacturer will also be on display. The plug-in hybrid diesel-electric school bus helps offset increasing fuel costs while protecting the environment, potentially doubling fuel economy and reducing emissions by up to 90 percent. While the exterior of the hybrid buses look the same as standard buses, they are powered with Enova's innovative technology. The hybrid power train couples a V-8 diesel engine with an 80-kilowatt battery-powered electric drive. The electric system activates when needed to reduce the amount of diesel power and fuel usage. The hybrid bus also has capability to run on bio fuel blends to increase environmental performance. Enova and IC Corp have partnered to supply buses throughout 11 states, and are now expanding the market as they will soon be delivering vehicles to both Mexico and Canada. Additionally, Enova and IC are working together to capture funding from the Air Resource Board's (ARB's) Lower-Emission School Bus Program. The program will provide $200M of grant funding for new, safer school buses and put air pollution control equipment on buses that are already on the road Randall Ray, IC Corporation Manager for Bus Product Development adds that "IC is ready to provide these hybrid school buses, when you look at the diesel hybrid electric bus, using a new 2007 emissions compliant MaxxForce engine in the hybrid drive, we are now stacking clean air technologies together realizing significant gains." Enova will also display its latest design of their Power Control Unit (PCU), which is a critical component on the highly anticipated electric vehicle being produced by Norwegian based Think Global. The PCU is a critical component of the vehicle's power system, converting and regulating high voltage power to lower voltages where and as required. Enova's module transfers power throughout the drive system and the battery, and assists in energy recovery during regenerative braking. The source of propulsion power is therefore transparent to the driver, allowing him to concentrate on normal vehicle operation. The highly anticipated introduction of the vehicle, and high volume production, is expected in the 2008 model year. The Think Vehicle has a top speed of 65 to 70 mph and a range of 100 miles, is an environmentally friendly, zero emission, all electric vehicle ideally suited for metropolitan cities. For further information contact: ENOVA SYSTEMS, Inc. 19850 South Magellan Drive Torrance, CA 90502 T. + 310-527-2800 Jarett Fenton, CFO and Investor Relations Notes to the Editor Enova's technology will be on display at the upcoming EVS 23 Conference, California. The conference is held in Anaheim from December 2-5, 2007, the International Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exposition (EVS) series, organized by the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA), has long been recognized as the premier event for academic, government and industry professionals involved in electric drive technologies. In an effort to showcase their unique technologies, Enova will utilize a 20 x 50 foot booth to house various vehicles as well as detailed exhibits of their capabilities. The EVS series began in 1969 as an academic forum for global networking and the exchange of technical information. As electric drive technologies progressed from the classrooms and laboratories into the marketplace, EVS blossomed into an event that is both academic and business oriented. Today, the EVS series is recognized as the global electric transportation industry's premier and largest forum, showcasing all forms of technologies in the market place and on the drawing boards--from low speed battery electric vehicles to fuel cell electric buses.
