2nd LARGEST US BUS TRANSIT AGENCY ADOPTS CARMANAH SOLAR ILLUMINATED BUS STOP Penetration of North American Transit Market Continues on Schedule Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA, July 03, 2003 /FSC/ - Carmanah Technologies Inc. (CMH - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce that Pace, IL - the suburban bus division of Chicago's Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) - has purchased $25,000 in Carmanah i-STOP(tm) units for field trial through an open competitive bidding process. The agency, which serves 5.2 million people in greater Chicago, is completing a $14.7 million Intelligent Bus System to improve efficiency, reduce waiting times and increase ridership. "We are now seeing the spin-off from our successful first wave of i-STOP(tm) installations in cities like Atlanta and Seattle," said Carmanah's CEO Art Aylesworth. "The latest sales to large, medium and small U.S. transit agencies show the new i-STOP(tm) is already making inroads into every level of the multibillion-dollar U.S. transit market." Again and again, transit authorities are finding the i-STOP(tm) to be one of the most cost-effective ways to increase efficiency, public safety and ridership. The i-STOP(tm) installs on common bus-stop poles and consists of an illuminated bus schedule, a security light and a flashing LED (light-emitting diode) beacon that notifies bus drivers up to one mile (1.6 kilometers) in advance if there is someone waiting at the stop. The i-STOP(tm) is a particularly effective solution to transit's persistent problem of rider "pass-bys" in areas of poor lighting, busy traffic or high driving speeds. The latest sales include: - $25,000 order from the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority, FL - $50,000 order from the rural Morongo Basin Transit Authority (MBTA), CA - $27,000 i-STOP(tm) order from the city of Flagstaff, AZ - $10,000 order from the York Region Transit, ON - As well as a high profile field trial of i-STOP(tm) technology on the Presidio Park side of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. "We are extremely excited that Pace in Chicago has chosen to field trial our technology," said Aylesworth. "Pace is part of the second largest public transportation system in North America, with an annual budget of about $1.5 billion and over 12,000 potential i-STOP(tm) bus-stop locations. From the Mojave Desert to the city of Chicago, our new sales are proving that the i-STOP(tm) has something for every one of the 2,200 transit agencies in the U.S."

CMH CN: Awarded $235,000 Contract with US Military 2003-08-07 14:33 (New York) CARMANAH TECHNOLOGIES CORP ("CMH-V;CMHXF-0") - Awarded $235,000 Contract with US Military Carmanah Technologies Corporation is pleased to announce that it has recently been awarded a $235,000 government contract for airfield lighting at a U.S. Army Air Base in Iraq. Carmanah will light the entire Sustainer Army airfield with its patented, solar-powered LED aviation lights by supplying 210 taxiway edge lights, 128 runway edge lights, 20 runway end identifier lights and 16 heli-pad perimeter lights. "This order represents a major milestone for Carmanah", states Art Aylesworth, Carmanah's CEO. "It validates our proven solar-powered LED technology as a complete airfield lighting solution." Airfield lighting conditions at Sustainer Army Air Base are extremely challenging. Due to recent conflict, there is no permanent lighting infrastructure in place. Current portable lighting systems used require daily maintenance, battery charging, generator use and fossil fuel dependence. In comparison, Carmanah's aviation lights will provide a significantly lower cost alternative that (1) eliminates the demand for external grid power and/or generator use, (2) eliminates the manual recharging required, and (3) eliminates the need for scheduled maintenance. In addition, Carmanah's patented durable designs have enabled its lights to operate reliably under the extreme temperatures and harsh environmental conditions common in the Middle East. Since January 2003, Carmanah has sold more than $500,000 in airfield lighting to the U.S. Military for air bases in the United States, the Middle East and Asia. SolarAirportLights.com To support its Aviation Lighting Division, Carmanah has recently set up the web site "www.SolarAirportLights.com", dedicated to the aviation market and its specific market needs. ps we have 9 Bookmarks now
