New Product Launch

Traction Technology PLC 10 July 2007 Traction Technology Plc (AIM: TRAC) Launch of TRIBRID Power Pack Traction Technology Plc ('Traction' or 'the Company'), a designer and deliverer of environmentally friendly, low emission Series Diesel Electric Hybrid engine systems, announces the launch of a new 'TRIBRID' product range for bus operators. TRIBRID is a power pack that has the ability to draw on three separate power sources for use in bus engines. When the TRIBRID Power Pack is in use, power is automatically managed between the diesel power unit, conventional batteries or from Supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are very high value capacitors that can store much larger amounts of energy, to the point where they can act like batteries and propel the bus. They are capable of millions of charge and discharge cycles at high currents which make them highly suitable for hybrid vehicles. The TRIBRID, by blending these three sources of energy, optimises the efficiency of the bus as it can vary the horse power, energy usage or battery capacity of the bus to suit all requirements. Traction's development bus, an Optare Solo fitted as a TRIBRID, began road testing on 4th July 2007, and will be demonstrated first at the CENEX event at Leeds on 20th July 2007, a UK Government initiative supported by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (formerly the DTI). Traction Technology's Technical Director, Richard Cooke commented; 'Supercapacitors, with an operational life possibly exceeding the life of the bus itself, will, we believe, address operators' concerns on hybrid battery replacement costs. We plan to satisfy most customers' requirements without the need for storage batteries. When combined with our new Third Generation Software, which includes advanced regenerative braking and the latest control systems, we believe we will have responded to all of the concerns related to reliable operation of Hybrid buses.'
