We have recently worked with the US Environmental Protection Agency on a joint demonstration project to develop a direct-injection Bajaj auto-rickshaw in Pune, India. Endorsement from groups with international reputations like the US EPA provides great momentum and enhances our global standing as a company that delivers. Non-governmental entities such as the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-ASIA) and the Manila Observatory are also extremely supportive of our efforts, and add legitimacy from the scientific and advisory board perspective. CAI-ASIA endorsed our technology formally in 2006, and is playing a key role in widespread awareness-raising activities for both the Philippines and beyond. Envirofit has also been publicly endorsed by the Philippine Office of the President -- Public Transport Affairs (PTAO). Working with CAI Asia, we are garnering local and national (Philippine) support from agencies such as the DOTC, DENR and EMB to permit a phased implementation of stricter emissions standards in the cities most impacted by two-stroke engine pollution.
