Retrofitting Existing Transit and Fleet Vehicles Should Not Be Overlooked

'Green' Fleet Strategy Maximizes Vehicle Assets, Extends Useful Life

CHICAGO, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Local municipalities and government agencies
throughout the country are facing multi-million dollar decisions about their
vehicle fleets that could impact their communities for years to come. While
buying new hybrid vehicles might seem like a simple way to ensure a fuel
efficient fleet, the question of what becomes of the existing vehicles
remains. Retrofitting offers an environmentally friendly solution that
increases the value of existing fleet vehicles by significantly improving fuel
economy and reducing emissions.

"Buying a new hybrid bus or truck does not necessarily mean that the current
vehicle is going to be taken out of service," said Sam Jones, president of
Recaptured Energy Technologies (RET). "The older vehicle will probably be
redeployed within the current system, sold to a smaller city or exported to
another country. Through retrofitting, older vehicles become more valuable
and more efficient with an increased life expectancy. It is a win-win
solution that should not be overlooked."

Recaptured Energy Technologies has developed a unique hydraulic braking and
propulsion system that it is designed specifically to be retrofit to existing
vehicles. The system captures wasted brake energy and converts it to an
auxiliary source of energy to power the vehicle. The realized reduction in
fuel consumption and added years of useful life are economic advantages, while
the reduction in harmful emissions from a renewable source of energy is a
"green" benefit as well.

"By adding new hybrid vehicles, a city benefits from the efficiency the new
vehicles offer, but the inefficiencies of the old vehicles may still be felt
elsewhere," continued Jones. "What we offer is a true net reduction. By
retrofitting an existing vehicle to make it more efficient, thereby extending
its useful life and adding value, we are reducing the long term impact on the
environment. This truly is a sound 'green' strategy both locally and
globally."
