SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
Ethos Environmental, Inc., (OTCBB: ETEV) a San Diego-based company,
received the prestigious West African Institute of Direct Marketing Award
for providing the best fuel-saving product in the region.
Ethos FR(R), a blend of fuel reformulating esters that increase fuel
efficiency while decreasing harmful emissions, is being used in several African
countries to combat growing pollution problems.
John Chika Uyanwune, managing director of Chika Oil & Gas Ltd. and a
distributor of Ethos FR(R) in Africa, commented that "the majority of
African cars and trucks are older vehicles imported from Europe or Japan, with
most vehicles over 8 years old. Engines used for that length of time --
especially under the harsh conditions and sub-standard maintenance common in
Africa
-- experience significant carbon build-up and a corresponding loss in fuel
efficiency. Thus, African vehicles typically average only 75% fuel efficiency
for
Japanese cars and 50% for cars made in Europe. It has been estimated that
Nigeria alone loses millions of dollars each day to widespread fuel
inefficiency."
In Nigeria, the use of Ethos FR(R) has produced remarkable results on
agingvehicles, with fuel efficiency returning close to 100% with continued use,
and
up to 20% improvement in fuel economy.
After a technical, scientific and economic evaluation of Ethos Fuel
Reformulator, the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Environment has endorsed
theuse of Ethos FR(R) for its effectiveness in reducing fuel consumption and
curbing harmful emissions. The Nigerian army, Union Bank Nigeria, and
numerous additional organizations have implemented the use of Ethos FR(R).
Elsewhere in Africa, Uganda's National Environment Management Authority
(NEMA) is
the organization charged with coordinating, monitoring and supervising all
activities in the field of the environment. According to NEMA's managing
director, Michael Kinyua, "the use of Ethos FR(R) increases efficiency of
combustion, ultimately reducing emission of smoke and fuel usage. Ethos FR(R)
boosts viscosity of lubricants making the engine last longer."
Ethos Environmental, Inc. is proud to provide a product that supports
environmental efforts in Nigeria and Uganda, and will continue to share
thebenefits of Ethos FR(R) with countries across the African continent. For
