u.s environmental protection agency verifies ECS Purifilter plus(TM) 
 
 
Catalytic Solutions, Inc. (AIM: CTS and CTSU), the company behind Mixed Phase 
Catalyst (MPC ) technology, is pleased to announce that its Heavy-Duty Diesel 
Systems business has received verification from the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) for its innovative ECS Purifilter Plus(TM) emissions 
reduction product, increasing its leading share of EPA verified engine retrofit 
devices to 42%. 
 
Catalytic Solutions' ECS Purifilter Plus(TM) earned verification from the EPA 
for successfully reducing harmful emissions of particulate matter by 90%, carbon 
monoxide by 75% and hydrocarbons by 85% for the retrofit of 1994 through 2006 
model year non-exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) heavy-duty diesel engines.  In 
addition, the ECS Purifilter Plus(TM) for EGR heavy-duty diesel engines earned a 
conditional verification, satisfying EPA's verified device funding requirements 
for the purposes of sales for eligible retrofits. The Company expects to receive 
full verification by providing the EPA with testing plans, completing a standard 
test program by March 2010 and supplying any additional requirements as 
requested.  The ECS Purifilter Plus(TM) is the first and only hybrid diesel 
particulate filter (DPF) system employing both passive and active regeneration 
that has been verified by both the EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB) 
for a wide variety of heavy-duty diesel on-road engines. 
 
 
ECS Purifilter Plus(TM) combines a passive ECS Purifilter(TM) and the active 
regeneration components of an ECS Combifilter(TM) which result in a hybrid 
diesel particulate filter which has no minimum exhaust temperature requirement 
and is easily maintained through active regeneration by periodically plugging 
the system into a 240V single-phase or 480V three-phase regeneration control 
panel that may be shared between several vehicles. This approach greatly reduces 
the maintenance requirements when compared to traditional passive DPF solutions. 
The ECS Purifilter Plus(TM) is ideal for a wide variety of small and large fleet 
operators such as school, shuttle and urban buses, municipal and utility 
vehicles, refuse trucks and urban delivery vehicles. 
 Commenting on the verification, Ian MacDonald, Vice President of Catalytic 
Solutions, Inc.'s Heavy-Duty Diesel Systems business, said: 
"The verification given by the U.S. EPA reinforces the credibility of Catalytic 
Solutions' ECS brand name. It underscores our commitment to the development of 
products that offer superior performance and ease of use." 
 
 
Charles F. Call, Chief Executive Officer of Catalytic Solutions, Inc. added: 
"We are pleased with the addition of this product to our already leading range 
of retrofit products which have received EPA and CARB verification. As the 
number of retrofit product verifications we receive increases, so does our 
target market.  Reducing harmful emissions created by diesel engines is a 
critical priority, as evidenced by the recently approved stimulus funding of 
U.S. $300 million under the EPA's Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) program 
being made available to heavy-duty diesel on-road vehicle and off-road equipment 
owners to retrofit their engines to reduce diesel emissions.  We are focused on 
and committed to designing and delivering superior emission control products 
across our businesses, which include Heavy-Duty Diesel Systems, Energy Systems 
and Light-Duty Vehicle Catalysts."
