COLLEGE POINT, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 31, 1995--EDO Automotive Natural Gas Inc. (EDO ANGI) the compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station packaging unit of EDO Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDO Corp. (NYSE:EDO), today announced the receipt of an order valued at approximately $1 million from Consumers Power Company in Jackson, Michigan, the nation's fourth largest utility.

The CNG station packages, which are destined for five public refueling sites across Michigan, include single and twin high pressure natural gas compressors with electric and natural gas engine drives, EDO ANGI's AMP 3 control system, as well as dryers, vapor recovery systems, instruments and system enclosures. Follow-up services include: maintenance, repair and on-call servicing.

This July order is Consumers Power's second major purchase in 12 months for CNG fueling stations specifically designed for public use. The first, in September 1994, was for seven stations and also featured EDO ANGI equipment.

He also noted that, "Since the day EDO ANGI became a part of the EDO Energy team, all of our efforts have gone into ensuring that our fueling stations, and our conversion systems, meet the highest quality levels possible. Important repeat customers, like Consumers Power, indicated our efforts are succeeding."
