Mr Abdul Mitha, President and CEO of Clean Power Technologies Inc., said: "This is an exciting collaboration for us, which will provide additional engineering capability in the development of a refrigeration engine that is cleaner and more fuel-efficient. The cost of operating diesel engines has been steadily rising as the price of oil increases. This cost is beginning to be passed on to consumers and is already being reflected on the grocery shelves. The transportation industry is therefore looking for a solution that will improve fuel and cost efficiencies whilst reducing emissions, all of which would provide substantial monetary savings. We believe we have that solution."The CESAR system can be used to power auxiliary truck systems, such as trailer refrigeration and cab cooling or heating, in regulatory 'no idle' and 'quiet' zones. In addition to initial truck applications, CESAR can be further applied in Clean Power's well developed passenger car programme in addition to having longer-term potential in the locomotive and marine sectors.steam mop with patioClean Power's Clean Energy Storage and Recovery (CESAR) technology is designed to increase vehicle fuel economy and reducing emissions by capturing, storing and reusing otherwise wasted heat from the exhaust of a conventional combustion engine. A heat exchanger captures waste energy, which is then stored in the form of steam in an accumulator, for 'on demand' use either in the same 'primary' engine, or in a secondary vapour engine. Power can be produced solely by the secondary vapour engine even after the primary combustion engine has shut down.Clean Power's proprietary automotive hybrid technology, Clean Energy Storage and Recovery ('CESAR'), captures otherwise wasted exhaust heat of a conventional combustion engine and utilizes the recovered heat as steam to generate clean power for the vehicle. The technology provides 40% better fuel efficiency and a corresponding reduction in emission levels, as verified by comprehensive tests.(www.amazon.co.uk,The Company listed on XETRA on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in October 2006, and is also traded on the OTC Bulletin Board in the US.THIS two-in-one cleaner has six accessories to vacuum and steam clean carpets, hard floors and upholstery. Although parts feel quite flimsy all the sections lock together securely and it's extremely easy to use. Sadly the vacuum performance let it down.Thomas Twin Aquafilter, pounds 249Light 'n' Easy HT824YPContacts: Clean Power Technologies Inc.

Cleaning carpets is easy - the detergent has Scotchguard to protect from stains. And the hard floor attachment picks up loads of dirt.Mr Abdul Mitha, President and CEO of Clean Power Technologies Inc., added: "Voith Turbo GmbH & Co. KG has the outstanding engineering capability to undertake development of very specialized and complex technologies. We are confident that this collaboration will produce an engine that will be one of the most fuel-efficient and least polluting engines available on the market."Clean Power Technologies operates out of its development facility in Newhaven, East Sussex. In 2006, testing of the CESAR system began on a Mazda RX8 passenger vehicle engine, with trials on a second identical engine commencing later that year. In June 2007 testing also began on a Caterpillar C15 diesel engine to explore applications, such as auxiliary power and trailer refrigeration, within the industrial vehicle and truck industries. Testing on the CESAR process began in late October 2007, with initial results already recording a 40% improvement in fuel efficiency.SUPERB deep cleaning on both hard floors and carpets thanks to the rotating brush heads that scrub the surface. The hose attachment and handheld scrubber also works brilliantly on stains and upholstery. Sadly it's heavy to manoeuvre, the cable gets in the way as you work backwards and it's enormous, so not ideal if you're running short on storage.ABOUT VOITH AG AND VOITH TURBO GmbH & Co.
