Odyne Corp. Announces Exclusive Agreement with Dueco, Inc.

An agreement with Dueco, Inc., to develop a proprietary plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system optimized for aerial lift truck applications.

Hauppauge, New York - May 3, 2007 - Odyne Corporation (OTCBB:ODYC), a leading developer of advanced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology for trucks and buses, today announced an agreement with Dueco, Inc., to develop a proprietary plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system optimized for aerial lift truck applications.


Dueco can incorporate this propulsion system for customers requesting plug-in hybrid electric aerial lift trucks. Dueco's customers require trucks with aerial lifts enabling workers to make repairs on equipment like traffic lights, elevated power lines or telecommunication cables. These customers include utilities, telephone and cable companies, electrical contractors, tree-trimming companies, railroads, the military and the government.

Roger M. Slotkin, CEO of Odyne Corporation, commented, "We are pleased to have formed this important alliance with Dueco, which has established an impressive presence and reputation of quality for over 50 years. In order to operate the vehicle systems during the long time periods that Dueco's customers perform work at elevated levels, the engine must be idling in a conventionally powered vehicle. Odyne addresses the unique challenge to eliminate engine idling. By installing our technology, Dueco's trucks can be plugged into the power grid at night, providing enough power to work at job sites with the engine off, thus reducing pollution and fuel use. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with Dueco."

Thomas Dalum, CEO of DUECO, stated, "Odyne's technology is important to our industry and the environment. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a cost-saving and environmentally friendly vehicle to address their needs. We believe that Odyne's focus on plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technology will be especially beneficial for utilities. The ability to use "off-peak" domestic electric power to recharge the system will increase fuel economy and reduce pollution. Odyne's ability to customize its technology to meet our customers' unique specifications makes us an important resource for companies and entities seeking a better solution."
