Odyne Corp. Ramps Up Hybrid System Production Through Strategic Supplier Agreement With Bosch Rexroth Corp.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- Odyne Corporation (OTCBB:ODYC), the leading developer of advanced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology for trucks and buses, today announced a strategic supplier agreement with Bosch Rexroth Corp. to provide preferred pricing and a steady supply of electric motors and drives for its plug-in hybrid electric vehicle applications, as Odyne begins to ramp up production in 2007.

Bosch Rexroth, a division of Bosch Group., will provide electric motors to be used in Odyne's proprietary powertrain system for medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses. The motors are used for multiple functions, including: generators to produce the electricity that charges the battery packs; traction motors to transfer power from the battery packs to the vehicle; and during regenerative braking, to transfer the kinetic energy from the vehicle to the battery packs. Bosch Rexroth and Odyne will work together to ensure that future Bosch products will be optimized for plug-in hybrid applications.

"It is critical for Odyne's manufacturing and assembly processes to ensure a high quality, reliable supply of these critical components as we begin to receive orders for our low emission, lower cost electric technology," explains Roger M. Slotkin, CEO of Odyne. "Bosch has a superb reputation for electric components and service so they're a natural fit as one of our strategic suppliers."

Rich Huss, Vice President and General Manager of Bosch Rexroth Electric Drives and Controls, stated, "Market awareness and demand for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles is growing rapidly as fleet managers explore solutions to lower fuel and vehicle maintenance costs. Odyne has developed proven and cost effective solutions to fill this important niche for medium and heavy-duty trucks. We are excited to partner with Odyne Corporation, as they are a clear leader within this market."
