| (Washington, D.C.) – On October 9, 2007 at 9:00 A.M., Indianapolis-based EnerDel, Inc. is holding a media day to unveil a fully functional Lithium-ion battery pack developed specifically for the U.S. HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) market. Indiana Congressman Dan Burton will preside over the event. This battery technology is the single, most important technology advancement that will enable HEVs and eventually PHEVs (plug-in hybrids) and EVs (electric vehicles) to become the predominant forms of transportation in the world. Over the next five and ten years, the conversion of the consumer automobile fleet to HEV, PHEV and EV will have the single greatest impact on the reduction of fossil-fuel energy consumption and greenhouse gasses of all alternative energy technologies. EnerDel’s Lithium-ion technology offers significant advantages over existing nickel-based battery technology in terms of safety, weight, size, power and life. Moreover, EnerDel will manufacture this battery in the United States, creating jobs for our economy. EnerDel has developed the battery pack under a technology development contract from the United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC), an organization whose members are Chrysler, Ford and GM. USABC has a cooperative agreement with the DOE for research and development of battery technologies. Congressman Dan Burton is currently serving his thirteenth term as a United States Representative from Indiana's Fifth Congressional District. His first term in Congress began in January of 1983. The Fifth District lies in the heart of central Indiana and includes all of Tipton, Grant, Miami, Wabash, Huntington, Hamilton, and Hancock Counties, as well as parts of Marion, Shelby, Howard and Johnson Counties. When Congressman Burton assumed the Chairmanship of the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform in the 105th Congress, he became the first Hoosier Republican to Chair a full House Committee in more than sixty years. Congressman Burton currently serves as Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere. Also, he is a Senior Member on the Government Oversight and Reform Committee. EnerDel is owned by Ener1, Inc. (80.5%) and Delphi Corporation (19.5%). EnerDel has a pilot production facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. EnerDel currently employs approximately 60 highly experienced engineers and technicians involved in the battery development of both cells and systems.
