LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Vision Industries Corp. (OTCBB:VIIC), producers of the zero emission, plug-in
electric/hydrogen fuel cell hybrid, Tyranosemi truck, are pleased to announce
that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced the Tyrano to the people of
California, at the East Steps of the State Capitol building in Sacramento, the
morning of Oct. 20, 2009. 

Vision Industries Zero Emission Tyrano truck is initially designed to replace
diesel and LNG short haul trucks in California. There are currently more than
100,000 short haul trucks in California and more than 1 million nationwide.
Traditionally, short haul trucking is done by trucks that are on the later part
of their life cycle, meaning less efficient and more polluting trucks. Also,
short-haul trucking predominantly occurs in populated urban areas, affecting the
health and quality of life of millions of California residents. 

"This truck produces zero greenhouse gas emissions and is proof you can protect
the environment and the economy at the same time. This is exactly the kind of
technology we need to keep California on a path toward a greener future," said
Governor Schwarzenegger. 

Secretary for Environmental Protection Linda Adams quoted, "This product is the
direct result and proof of California's Environmental Policies." 

Vision CEO Martin Schuermann stated that "these trucks are 30% to 40% cheaper to
operate than diesel trucks. We expect a strong market demand once these trucks
are in the hands of California truckers."
