GreenMan Subsidiary Wins Order for Dual Fuel Conversion of Six Oil Rig Diesel Generators for Two Leading Independent Oil and Gas Exploration Corporations

Introductory Order Opens Up the U.S. Well-Head Gas Market


LYNNFIELD, MA--(Marketwire - March 15, 2011) - GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: GMTI) announced that its American Power Group Inc. ("APG") subsidiary has won an order to convert six Caterpillar 3512 generators to operate using APG's dual fuel technology utilizing well-head gas and diesel. The order was booked through the domestic land drilling contractor of the two end customers. The dollar value of the order and the end customers were not disclosed for competitive reasons but a recent industry survey ranked the two independent oil and gas exploration corporations in the top 40 oil & gas companies in the United States with combined natural gas reserves of 5 trillion cubic feet equivalent (TCFE) and combined annual revenue of $3.5 billion. The conversions are scheduled to be completed in GreenMan's third fiscal quarter (June 2011).

APG's dual fuel system converts diesel engines and diesel generators to function more efficiently and at a lower operating cost (average net fuel cost savings of 30% - 40%) by seamlessly displacing 40%-70% of the normal diesel fuel consumption with CNG, LNG, well-head gas, or bio-methane. APG's system is non-invasive to the OEM engine and operates within all OEM performance controls with the flexibility to return to 100% diesel operation at any time. APG's dual fuel conversion and emissions reduction systems can help users achieve their sustainability goals through lower carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter emissions. In addition, the introduction of natural gas through APG's dual fuel system does not impact diesel engine power or pulling torque and will assist in extending the engine's oil life as natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel compared to diesel.

Lyle Jensen, GreenMan's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are excited to have won these two conversions which provide us with two high profile opportunities to introduce the oil and gas industry to the economic and environmental benefits of APG's dual fuel technology. At a time when global diesel prices continue to escalate, the ability for oil rig operators to utilize either inexpensive well-head gas or plentiful domestic natural gas as a supplemental fuel will be very welcome." Mr. Jensen added, "We are prepared to scale and support the huge oil rig market thoroughly and enthusiastically, especially at such a critical time for our country."

About GreenMan Technologies
GreenMan's two alternative energy subsidiaries, American Power Group, Inc. ("APG") and APG International, Inc. ("APGI") provide a cost-effective patented dual fuel conversion technology for diesel engines and diesel generators. APG's dual fuel technology is a unique non-invasive energy enhancement system that converts existing diesel engines into more efficient and environmentally friendly engines that have the flexibility to run on: 1) diesel fuel and compressed natural gas ("CNG"); 2) diesel fuel and liquid natural gas ("LNG"); 3) diesel fuel and well-head gas; and 4) diesel fuel and bio-methane with the flexibility to return to 100% diesel fuel operation depending on the circumstances. The proprietary technology seamlessly displaces 40% to 70% of the normal diesel fuel consumption and the energized fuel balance is maintained with a proprietary controller system ensuring the engines operate to Original Equipment Manufacturers' ("OEM") specified temperatures and pressures. Installation on a wide variety of engine models and end-market applications requires no engine modification unlike the more expensive high-pressure alternative fuel systems in the market.
