New York, New York, Apr 03, 2001 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- QUANTUM Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of IMPCO Technologies, Inc., announced that it has developed a natural gas fuel system for the first General Motors (GM)
Chevrolet Zafira produced at the GM Thailand Assembly Center in Thailand's Rayong Province. The Zafira MPV (or compact van) is

Recently GM Thailand announced that it signed a letter of intent with the Petroleum Authority of Thailand and the Ministry of Science,
Technology and Environment, for a pilot study to verify the commercial production of Thailand-produced Zafiras. GM said Thailand was the
natural choice for the pilot study under GM's Global Alternative Fuel Project because of its abundant resources of natural gas, as published in
The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition, March 28, 2001.
QUANTUM is a world leader in the development of hydrogen, compressed natural gas (CNG) and propane (LPG) handling and advanced
gaseous storage system technologies for manufacturers of fuel cell and internal combustion engines.
