Kirloskar Oil Engines Enters Binding MOU for Joint Venture Mass Production of Axial Vector Engines

Agreement components include:

Technology development payment to Axial Vector by KOEL of $250,000 USD.

KOEL initially shall bear 100% of costs relating to Joint development of Engines for up to a limit of $2,000,000 USD of costs for making the engines ready for mass production.

The intention of both parties is to form the Joint Venture in India for mass production of internal combustion engines using the opposed cylinder with unique crankshaft technology of Axial Vector and the engineering, marketing and manufacturing expertise of KOEL.

Axial Vector to enter into a patent license agreement to the JV on its technology.

Axial Vector to receive a five-year Royalty payment in addition to its JV ownership starting with 5% of product sales value.

The marketing rights of the Joint Venture Company shall extend to all SAARC countries (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Bangladesh and Pakistan).

Mr. Rahul Kirloskar, Director, Kirloskar Oil Engines Limited, commented, "Our association with the company (AVEC) has been for over five years during which we have monitored various stages of development of Axial Vector Engines. We believe this engine is a major breakthrough, which will improve various efficiencies involved in a typical Internal Combustion Engine. We see good potential once it gets successfully developed and will benefit both industry and our company's shareholders."

Mr. Sanjai Chhaunker, President and CEO of Axial Vector, stated, "KOEL has already assembled a top team of its engineers and will begin work immediately to make 'mass production ready' our multi fuel engines. As one of the most highly respected companies in India and with a global following, we believe they will quickly bring these engines to market which shall be the first of many license and royalty agreements we will now be able to negotiate with others. The world badly needs our cleaner, lighter and economical engines capable of much better fuel consumption using hydrocarbon fuels, as well as the ability to run on non fossil fuels such as straight palm oil."
