Clean Air Power Limited

("Clean Air Power" or "the Company")

New Order

Clean Air Power Limited (AIM: CAP), the developer of Dual-Fuel™ combustion technology that enables heavy-duty diesel engines to run on a combination of both diesel and natural gas, is pleased to announce a significant order for its Components Division in San Diego, USA.

The order from L3 Communications ("L3"), which is worth $765,000, is for the supply of hydraulic valves to be delivered in late 2009.  This order is the second to be received under the long term supply agreement with L3 that Clean Air Power announced on 11 February 2009. The agreement anticipates total sales of $3,337,000, including the above 2009 order, between 2009 and 2011. In total L3 has now confirmed $1,876,000 in orders relating to this three year agreement.

Clean Air Power's Components division grew from its need to develop specialised components for its own core Dual-Fuel™ technology. The injectors and valves now produced incorporate a number of beneficial and patented features which have allowed Clean Air Power to become a tier one supplier to a number of automotive manufacturers around the world. The Components Division generates cash which assists the development and full commercialisation of the company's core Dual-Fuel™ business.

Commenting on the contract win, John Pettitt, CEO, said:

 "I am delighted to have received this second significant order from L3 which further emphasises Clean Air Power's strong performance in recent months. Our Components division continues its strong start to the year and all of our three divisions have already received important orders in 2009. As our engineering development activity steps up following the recent Volvo letter of intent signature, it is encouraging that our secondary products continue to strongly support the core Dual-Fuel™ business."

Initially founded in the USA in 1991, around £40m has been invested in developing the technology with the result that 62 patents are currently held or pending. The holding company of the Group is based in Bermuda with operational subsidiaries in the UK, the USA and Australia.
