DaimlerChrysler in 95 mln usd settlement with US on emission control violation

CHICAGO (AFX) - DaimlerChrysler AG will spend 95 mln usd to compensate for
defective emission controls on nearly 1.5 mln Jeep and Dodge vehicles under a
settlement announced by the US Justice Department and Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
The EPA said the settlement was the largest yet for an emission-related
defect reporting case.
A state and federal investigation had raised allegations that the automaker
had violated the Clean Air Act by failing to properly disclose the defect.
The settlement also clears the company of those charges.
The EPA said the total estimated cost to Chrysler to implement the
settlement is 90 mln usd, with another 1 mln in penalties and 3 mln costs to
implement a supplemental project to reduce emissions from diesel engines
currently in use.
DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler Corp will also pay another 1 mln usd to the state
of California as part of a parallel settlement with the California Air Resources
Board (CARB), it said.
"This is the result of some extensive negotiations," said Chrysler spokesman
Mike Aberlich. "Both the EPA and California acknowledged that we acted in good
faith and haven't broken the law."

£7500 AIN'T A BAD BUY

[soysoy] 02/12/2005 12:59

Think we are on the way again
40P WAS GOOD TOPPING UP POINT

[pentland] 01/12/2005 13:59

Perhaps Clean diesil, Ringprop and PDX COULD MERGE and maybe one of them might be able to generate a sale.

[maestro.] 29/11/2005 10:03

tick up anyway..stock shortage i've heard

That's the dilemma for them Al. They either price cheap enough to get volume business, but are unlikely then to cover unit costs, or they price to cover costs and struggle to sell. I'm afraid for them I don't see a solution, which is a shame, as it's a good technology and I'm all for anything that helps "Save the Planet". As lefrene highlights, legislative compulsion seems the only thing that could make CDT's business viable.

[lefrene] 29/11/2005 09:50

While this product works well there is a problem finding users. Until there is compulsion in the USA to reduce pollution from older trucks (which appear to be the biggest problem) then this company will be trying to sell its product into an unwilling market.

Wiganer

Also if their units are so cheap, they are going to need some big orders to make a decent profit.

[wiganer] 28/11/2005 21:13

From their RNS:

"These tests demonstrate overwhelmingly that there is a cost effective emission
solution for some of the worst polluters on our roadways-the older school buses
and local delivery trucks,"

So, what happens when those old bangers get replaced with new low-emission vehicles? If this proposition was on Dragon's Den, they'd be shown the door in double quick time.

[wiganer] 28/11/2005 21:09

Yup- nothing's changed. This is still a concept stock looking for business viability, and as there are better concept stocks around I expect it will continue to drift down over time, with the odd spike thrown in.

"The Company needs to sell some product."

Genius. *slaps forehead*


Your Comments seem remarkeably similar.....

[wiganer] 28/11/2005 18:38

You can have the best technology in the world, but if you can't sell enough of it at a profit you haven't got a viable business. The company's history so far suggests that CDT doesn't have a viable business.

[tonystringy] 28/11/2005 18:31

What happened???

Not a holder just watching but that RNS read pretty good to me. No trades.........no follow up posts?

TESTS SHOW NEW CLEAN DIESEL TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES MAJOR REDUCTIONS IN DIESEL
EMISSIONS AND IMPROVED COST EFFECTIVENESS


Company's Fuel Borne Catalyst in Combination with Various EPA-verified
Technologies Provides up to 70 Percent Reduction in Toxic Diesel Emissions


STAMFORD, CT (November 28, 2005) Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (Clean Diesel)
(EBB: CDTI & AIM: CDT/CDTS), a developer of chemical and technological solutions
to reduce harmful engine emissions, announced today that a further series of
independent tests have demonstrated that the Company's proprietary Platinum Plus
(R) fuel-borne catalyst (FBC) can help substantially reduce diesel emissions
from some of the worst polluting vehicles on the roads today-the older,
well-worn fleet vehicles including school buses, and local delivery and refuse
trucks. A series of independent tests conducted at the prominent San Antonio,
TX-based Southwest Research Institute showed that the toxic emissions from these
vehicles can be reduced, cost effectively, by as much as 70 percent when they
are retrofitted with the Platinum Plus FBC coupled with various U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency-verified technologies.

Clean Diesel Technologies President James Valentine noted that retrofitting
these vehicles with his Company's technology can be done inexpensively. As an
example, one specific minimal cost retrofit option at less than $2,000 (by far
the lowest cost option commercially available for that level of reduction)
reduced diesel emissions in a 1995 engine by 50 percent, Valentine said.

To ensure accuracy and practicality the recent testing was performed on a 1995
DT466 International engine, considered to be one of the engines most often found
used in medium duty fleet vehicles. In general, the tests indicate a diesel
emission reduction range of 20-70 percent depending on which combination of
fuels, aftertreatment devices and crankcase vent filtration were used with the
FBC. Even more impressive results-diesel emission reductions of 95 percent-were
achieved testing the FBC on a newer engine equipped with high efficiency diesel
particulate filter (DPF).

"These tests demonstrate overwhelmingly that there is a cost effective emission
solution for some of the worst polluters on our roadways-the older school buses
and local delivery trucks," Valentine said. "The tests showed that you don't
need to buy new trucks to get the benefit of modern diesel emission technology.
By retrofitting these vehicles with our fuel-borne catalyst, along with a
combination of other devices, substantial reductions in toxic diesel emissions
can be achieved. We can, of course, get even better results when our technology
is designed into newer vehicles, but the pressing need is to improve emissions
from the trucks and buses that are currently in use."

Valentine added that the testing measured average particulate reductions of 20
percent for the FBC treated ultra low sulphur diesel fuel (ULSD) to as high as
71 percent for the FBC/ULSD fuel used with a catalyzed wire mesh filter (CWMF)
and closed crankcase vent filter (CCVF). To achieve the 50 percent reduction at
a cost of under $2,000, the FBC-treated fuel was used in combination with a
diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and CCVF.

"The closed crankcase vent filter is a way of capturing 100 percent of engine
block emissions that normally go untreated. Typically, they represent 10
percent or more of total particulate emissions. Logic said our a FBC/DOC system
verified for 40 percent combined with a 10 percent reduction from the CCVF
should give 50 percent reduction, and that is exactly what the testing proved,"
Valentine said.

On pre-1994 engines, the FBC/DOC combination is verified for up to 50 percent
reduction and the FBC/CWMF is verified for 75 percent, so combinations of those
verified systems with the CCVF should give 60-85 percent reduction.

"That is a huge reduction from older high-emitting vehicles and it can be
achieved with commercially available and field-proven technologies," Valentine
said.

The fuel-borne catalyst boosts overall reductions to these high levels by
reducing engine-out emissions and allows more lightly catalyzed aftertreatment
devices to be used. That results in lower cost, better performance and reduced
levels of NO2 in the exhaust. NO2 is a strong lung irritant and can be
substantially increased by traditional heavily catalyzed exhaust devices.

The FBC can be preblended in fuel at any point in the distribution chain or
metered into individual vehicle fuel tanks using low cost on-board dosing
systems. CDT recently announced an agreement with the Fleetguard business unit
of Cummins, Inc. to blend and distribute the FBC under the Fleetguard name.
Fleetguard and CDT have also tested a new on-board FBC dispensing system that
will be replaced at normal maintenance intervals and is expected to be
commercially available in early 2006.

On new engines equipped with high efficiency DPFs, the FBC can help achieve
reductions of up to 95 percent while improving regeneration, reducing fuel
economy penalties, extending cleaning intervals and reducing the cost of the
device. Over 400 DPF-equipped vehicles are using the FBC to assist with
regeneration and to help avoid plugging with soot at low exhaust temperatures.
More than 1500 other vehicles including on-road and off-road equipment are using
the FBC alone or with aftertreatment devices.

engineer, contact CDT or visit the web site at www.cdti.com.

Cannot get any information on this one, (with TDW) is there a website please. This looks a good bet to me but need more research before I commit, Thanks in advance

[atlantic1953] 07/11/2005 21:15

Soy So at the risk of incurring the wrath of wiganer this share could still rocket.If they start getting volume sales the price could take off.In the absence of sales this latest fund rasing will be eaten up.I appreciate that it is obviouse but i will just keep holding in the hope that one day it happens.

[soysoy] 07/11/2005 13:05

The non executive chairman, Derek Gray bought 71,000 shares and chief
executive Bernhard Steiner 170,500 shares
.WELL THE BOSS BOUGHT SOME

[pentland] 07/11/2005 12:08

Maestro any ides how many shares are in issue now.I paid £2.00 a share lucky me.

[maestro.] 07/11/2005 08:08

no wonder the friggin price dropped..bet bloody Cawky and his city chums knew about it..git!

[anila2] 14/10/2005 18:32

im sure there's something dodgy about the share.

[atlantic1953] 05/10/2005 08:34

Yes it is so obviouse isnt it Wiganer.

But you would not think so reading the posts on this board where so much is discussed about movements on the American otc or the latest rns announcement which mentions the huge market availible but never mentions anything being sold.
