SuperTurbo Technologies Inc. and Linamar Corporation Announce an Exclusive Manufacturing and Supply Agreement for the Testing and Manufacturing of New Technology called the SuperTurbo(TM)

LOVELAND, Colo., Feb. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

-- The SuperTurbo(TM) improves internal combustion engines, lowers costs, and

reduces harmful emissions

SuperTurbo Technologies Inc. ("SuperTurbo") and Linamar Corporation ("Linamar")

announced today that they entered into an exclusive agreement to bring the

SuperTurbo(TM), a transformational technology, to market. The SuperTurbo(TM)

improves the efficiency of diesel, hydrogen, and natural gas internal

combustion engines, while significantly reducing harmful emissions.  McLaren

Engineering, a division of Linamar, will produce prototype units for durability

testing.  Upon successful completion of testing, under the terms of the

exclusive agreement, Linamar will manufacture and test SuperTurbos(TM) for the

global market.

The SuperTurbo(TM) is a mechanically driven turbocharger that provides

"on-demand" boost to internal combustion engines, which provides the ability to

precisely control and balance boost pressure and air-fuel ratio. It supports

7.5L to 16L internal combustion engines for both on-highway and construction

applications, where increasingly strict emission and CO2 regulations require

advanced air management systems.  Leading global engine OEMs continue to

demonstrate strong interest in the SuperTurbo(TM) as a key component of their

next-generation engine architectures to enable compliance with China 7, Euro 7

and California Air Resource Board/EPA 2024/2027 emissions requirements.

"SuperTurbo's partnership with Linamar brings our company one step closer to

commercializing a technology that can significantly reduce emissions, increase

engine performance, and lower fuel costs relative to competing engine boosting

technologies," said Mark Herbst, CEO at SuperTurbo.  "Linamar is a world-class

manufacturing enterprise and an ideal partner for our company as it progresses

into the critically important stage of delivering a commercial-ready product to

market.  We look forward to leveraging Linamar's vast global resources to

manufacture and launch new products globally."

"We are excited to partner with SuperTurbo to produce prototypes for durability

testing of their revolutionary product that significantly reduces emissions of

hydrogen, diesel and natural gas internal combustion engines while achieving

higher levels of productivity and lowering total cost of ownership for the

on-highway and off-highway commercial vehicle market.   We consider SuperTurbo

a leader in bringing this technology to market which will have a positive

impact on our environment," stated Linamar CEO Linda Hasenfratz.

In addition to the Linamar partnership, SuperTurbo recently announced that they

successfully completed their collaboration with AVL List GmbH ("AVL") to

investigate the carbon and emissions reduction possibilities of the hydrogen

internal combustion engine (H2ICE).  Focusing specifically on commercial

vehicle applications, the SuperTurbo(TM) demonstrated the ability to optimize

the lambda to lower engine out NOx to less than 1-2 g/kWh over the majority of

the engine operating range, increasing efficiency by up to 4% while maintaining

rapid, diesel-like transients.

About SuperTurbo Technologies, Inc.

SuperTurbo Technologies Inc. specializes in the design, development, and

commercialization of SuperTurbos(TM) for commercial vehicles for on highway and

construction markets. The SuperTurbo(TM) is a mechanically driven turbocharger

that allows engine OEMs to control the airflow and EGR for the engine, enabling

optimization of both performance and emissions at all operating points. Other

benefits include transient cycle efficiency, fuel cost savings, exhaust energy

recovery through compounding, particulate reduction, Cold Start/Low NOx

improvement, engine down-sizing, down-speeding and improved engine braking. For
