IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMCO, news, msgs)
announced today that its Advanced Technology Center in Irvine, California, has been awarded a Sandia
National Laboratories (Livermore, CA) contract to supply hydrogen fuel cell on-board vehicle storage
cylinders for test and evaluation. Under the terms of the contract, IMPCO will ship hydrogen cylinders
for Sandia's program scheduled to commence next month.

Recently, IMPCO announced that it shipped several prototype hydrogen storage modules to major
automobile manufacturers in the US and Europe for fuel cell vehicles. IMPCO's technology would
enable fuel cell vehicles to travel further (extending vehicle range) between refueling stops, essentially
providing for energy density approaching that of liquid hydrogen storage without the safety or cost
disadvantages.

Syed Hussain, Vice President and General Manager of IMPCO's Technology and Automotive OEM
Division said: "This is an important step towards commercialization of fuel cell vehicles as it bridges a
missing link in technology. There are a number of prominent companies all working on the development
of a fuel cell engine but those vehicles need fuel tanks and fuel metering equipment. This is where
IMPCO can play a major role. To have a Department of Energy national laboratory such as Sandia
participating in technology development and evolution is clear recognition that we are moving closer to
a hydrogen-based economy. IMPCO's patented technologies will be a driving force toward the use of
Hydrogen as a fuel, including Fuel Cell applications."

Sounds good to me!
