Here it is folks: THE NEWS!!! Subject: Lastest Press Release ..... and yes the website will be spell checked :) Al Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 00:24:38 -0500 From: "Al Tillis" <webmaster@baat.com> For Immediate Release: Press Contact: Bill Wason March 10, 1998 TEL:(818)565-5555 FAX:(818)565-5559 Ernest Borgnine Presents 'Ford Contour' to B.A.T. BURBANK, CA. - B.A.T. International (BAAT: OTC) received a brand new 1998 Ford Contour today. It was presented to Joseph P. LaStella President of B.A.T. by Ernest Borgnine, the Academy Award Winning Actor and T.V. star(McHales' Navy). B.A.T. wishes to thank Mr. Borgnine for his support. The purchase was arranged through Barrie "The Bear" Eget and Steven Tampus at Galpin Ford. Galpin is Ford Motor Company's #1 volume dealer in the U.S.A. @ (818)787-3800. The engine will be modified with the Dolphin Pulse Charged Technology. B.A.T believes it will be able to achieve fuel efficiency improvements of 30 to 40%, and a significant reduction in emissions. The Ford Contour was chosen because of its ZETEC 4-cylinder gasoline engine. The ZETEC is considered very advanced in terms of fuel economy technology. Delivery of the Ford Contour to the University of California, Riverside College of Engineering, Center for Environmental Research and Technology will occur on March 11, 1998. Full dynamometer testing will establish base line data on the engine and vehicle. When engine modifications are completed, the vehicle will then be retested at the same facility. B.A.T.'s Geo Metro, with a Dolphin Pulse Charged diesel engine, was field-tested at California Speedway in Fontana, in January and February. The Metro achieved 92.5 and 93.7 miles per gallon at 40 mph in certified tests (see press release 2/11/98). The engine is now undergoing modification to further improve efficiency and performance. It will also be tested on a dynamometer at University of California, Riverside. The modification of two engines, one gasoline and one diesel, will demonstrate the versatility of Dolphin Pulse Charge Technology in vehicle applications. When engine modifications and testing are completed, we look forward to reviewing results with interested parties. B.A.T. International's web site baat.com is currently being modified.
