Haldex among 2007's top climate improvers

According to Folksam's Climate Index, which presents a quantitative measurement
of the environmental impact caused by listed companies' production operations,
Haldex is best in the industry and third best in Sweden at reporting its impact
on the environment.

Climate Index 2007, which was carried by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP),
was based on a poll of 2,400 companies, of which 70 Swedish companies responded.
The answers from the poll were evaluated by CDP, which then ranked the
companies. 

None of the companies achieved the highest possible score of 100, but the
top-ranked company was close with a score of 91 and Haldex was not far behind
with 86 points. 

“For several years, environmental issues have been a natural part of Haldex's
daily operations and an important aspect of the Group's brand. Naturally, it
feels great that we are being recognized for this,” says Joakim Olsson,
President and CEO of Haldex.

The Group's business concept includes focusing on products that improve the
environment. One such example is Haldex's Varivent product, which makes it
possible to reduce emission levels of nitrogen oxides from diesel engines, while
at the same time providing low fuel consumption. Another example is Alfdex, a
system for separating oil particles in the ventilator air from diesel
crankcases, known as crankcase gases. The crankcase of a diesel engine in a
truck normally emits 6 to 9 liters of lubricant oil per 1,000 hours. Alfdex
practically eliminates these emissions. Haldex's environmental work takes into
account the total environmental impact caused by the manufacture, use and
scrapping of the company's products. It is based on a lifecycle perspective.

“Our tangible environmental action plans are formulated locally to enable
optimum adaptation to each respective unit's operations and environmental
impact. The results of these efforts are followed up annually at the Group level
and total CO2 emissions are registered,” explains Joakim Olsson, President and
CEO of Haldex.
