Save The World Air's CAT-MATE Anti-Pollution Device Successfully
Completes First Test on Motorcycle Engine
Independent Lab Finds Engine Emissions Cut by More Than 98%
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Preliminary tests conducted at
one of Asia's leading testing centers in Hong Kong found that the CAT-MATE
pollution-reduction device developed by Save The World Air, Inc., (OTC:ZERO)
cut carbon monoxide emissions from a two-stroke motorcycle engine by more than
98%, the company announced today.
"Two-stroke motorcycle engines are a huge source of pollution around the world,
and especially in Asia," said Erin Brockovich, SWA's Vice President of
Environmental Affairs. "The results of this test indicate that CAT-MATE can
help reduce pollution and improve the health and quality of life of millions of
people."
Conducted in closely controlled conditions, HKEEL's preliminary tests on a
150cc two-stroke Honda motorcycle engine showed that the CAT-MATE device
reduced carbon monoxide (CO) emissions by 98.48% and total hydrocarbon (THC)
emissions by 65.37%.
The preliminary findings are the first results from a series of tests being
conducted at the Hong Kong Exhaust Emission Laboratory (HKEEL) on the
two-stroke motorcycle engine, one of the most popular forms of personal
transportation in Asia. Similar tests of the CAT-MATE device conducted at
HKEEL in July on a 63cc two-stroke generator engine showed a similar reduction
in toxic emissions.
Final results of the motorcycle engine test will be available in the coming
weeks and will be submitted for official certification by the Vehicle
Certification Association (VCA) of the United Kingdom, the world leader in
exhaust emissions testing.
Ed Masry, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SWA, said the preliminary
results indicate that CAT-MATE can reduce toxic emissions to the point that
two-stroke motorcycles may meet the most stringent emission standards for new
highway motorcycles set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Currently, motorcycles with two-stroke engines are banned from U.S. highways
because of their excessive toxic emissions.
"If the final results from HKEEL approximate these preliminary results, then
Save The World Air will test the Honda 150cc motorcycle in the United States
and submit the tests to the EPA for certification," he said.
HKEEL is recognized by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department and
the Singapore Land Transport Authority. Its facilities and practices have been
approved by the Vehicle Certification Association (VCA) of the United Kingdom,
the world leader in exhaust emissions testing. HKEEL is the only laboratory in
Hong Kong to have ISO9002:1994 certification.
Save The World Air, Inc., was created to develop devices using proprietary
technologies that can be installed on motor vehicles to reduce harmful
emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and/or improve performance.
