HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.-- April 25 -Odyne Corporation (OTCBB:ODYC - News), the leading developer of advanced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology for trucks and buses, today announced a strategic supplier agreement with EnerSys (NYSE:ENS - News), the world's largest industrial battery manufacturer and a leader in stored energy solutions. EnerSys will supply Odyne Corporation with Genesis® pure lead batteries for its plug-in hybrid electric vehicles as Odyne ramps up production.


The Genesis pure lead batteries provide a very high rate discharge capability, and are suitable for long duration standby. With very low self discharge rate, high venting pressure and greater than 99.7% recombination efficiency, Genesis pure lead batteries are designed for long reliable service, even in extreme environments. Genesis pure lead batteries are very durable, have a long shelf life, and are well suited for Odyne's Plug-In Hybrid Electric vehicles that are frequently starting, stopping and have long idle times.

Roger M. Slotkin, CEO of Odyne, stated, "As battery technology advances and the price points improve, the advantages of plug-in hybrid technology are becoming more and more apparent. Utilizing a series architecture and our proprietary battery management technology, we can now reduce fuel cost for fleet operators by over 65 percent per mile when running the vehicle directly off a battery array that is charged by the regional electric power grid at nighttime off-peak rates. Our strategic relationship with EnerSys will help ensure a steady supply of batteries and provide even more attractive pricing for our customers."
