September 17 - Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies Announces MOU for Korean Market

Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: HYHY) President Ira Lyons announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Winner Ltd., a manufacturer and distributor of propane fuel injection products in the light and heavy truck markets in Korea.

Under this MOU, E Fuel Cell Technologies will immediately begin the process of pursuing the necessary government approvals for the use of HHT's world-leading Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI) technology in Malaysia as well as developing a distribution network for the products in that country and throughout South East Asia. HHT will also work with E-Fuel Cell to identify potential cost savings through local sourcing of components as part of it's ongoing commitment to making HFI the most cost-effective emissions control and fuel savings product line.

HFI technology is installed as an add-on to diesel and gasoline engines where it significantly reduces a wide variety of emissions (CO, PM, HC, CO2 and NOx) while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption by a minimum of 10%. HFI units are being used by over 150 fleets of long-haul transport trucks, ambulances, municipal buses and other heavy equipment, earning HFI the dominant position as the world's most widely-used on-board electrolysers. The technology is based on electrolysis and the units split water, on-board the vehicle, then vent the hydrogen and oxygen directly into the air intake of the engine. Adding hydrogen significantly improves the efficiency of combustion, in the engine, with significant financial and environmental benefits.

HFI is distributed through the world's largest retail distribution network for any hydrogen product, with over 140 Certified Installation Centres all across Canada, the United States and Mexico. Recently, geographical distribution has been expanded and units are installed in Europe, South America and China. The product is the first emission control technology to receive "Environmental Technology Verification" (ETV) by the Canadian government and the first hydrogen technology to receive ETV recognition anywhere in the world.

Company President, Ira Lyons, said "Korea has adopted some of the most progressive emissions control regulations in the world and, by the end of 2007, another 360,000 trucks will need retrofitting to meet these tough new standards. With the help of Winner Ltd., we are confident that our HFI products will be added to the list of acceptable technologies and will gain a large share of this important retrofit market". "In the longer term, the fact that Winner Ltd. is an established vendor, with experience dealing with all the Korean Original Equipment Manufacturers will accelerate the rate at which partnerships with Korean truck, bus and car makers will be developed", Lyons added.

Pure H2O, Inc. (OTC: PURH), a provider of novel, advanced water and wastewater treatment systems, is pleased to announce that they have received numerous inquiries about potential entry into the South American marketplace. While ongoing testing and negotiations continue for the short-listed Pacific Rim and Indian distributors, the South American opportunity has been becoming prevalent over the past few weeks.

"This was another case where the opportunities were coming our way. We have not lost focus of our core business model, which focuses on mobile treatment units and novel treatment systems. All that has changed is defining who specifically our potential customers are. We feel our product line has immense global appeal in developing countries and as a result we are very open to speaking with potential distributors worldwide" stated Harvey Panesar, Secretary of PURH.

It is estimated that over 70% of city water in South America is delivered through small-scale community cooperatives. "We have been approached by potential South American distributors who feel our mobile treatment unit would be an excellent fit for water purification and delivery through the existing cooperative infrastructure” commented Harvey Panesar, Secretary of PURH.

Mr. Panesar went on to explain that "selecting potential distributors in countries like India and South America is no easy task. We are being interviewed as much as we are interviewing the potential distributors. Both sides need to be completely happy with the technology and its intended applications; that is the reason we have been slow to announce our final distributor agreements in various global marketplaces.”
