Odyne Systems showcased unique new walk-in van hybrid power application at the 2013 NTEA work truck show. by yultide May 21, 2026 13 Waukesha, WI, March 09, 2013 -(PR.com)- Pat Davis, Program Manager of the Vehicle Technologies Program at the U.S. Department of Energy and Ron Schoon, Executive Manager - Partnership Development, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) visited with Odyne Systems President and CEO, Joe Dalum, on Tuesday, March 5, during the Green Truck Summit. While visiting Odyne's booth at the NTEA show, they got a closer look at the Odyne plug-in hybrid system that is reducing diesel fuel consumption up to 50%, depending on duty cycles, in work trucks. Davis noted there are a number of forces coming together to support expansion of alternative energy vehicles - a combination of improving technology, new capability to manufacture critical components, new product offerings, new policy incentives and continuing concern regarding its dependency on petroleum. In the area of improved technology, batteries are two to three times better than what they were just a few years ago and the costs for those improved batteries are coming down. Odyne Systems, LLC, a leading manufacturer of hybrid systems for medium and heavy duty work trucks, showcased its advanced hybrid propulsion system in booth 5566 at the National Truck Equipment Association show March 6-8 in Indianapolis, IN, and had a unique new application in a walk-in van on display at the Ride Drive event. The event also provided an introductory platform to showcase the new relationship between Allison Transmission and Odyne Systems. Allison and Odyne introduced a new co-marketing program for the Odyne hybrid system, including a new joint logo and brochure, and engineering collaboration to optimize the drivetrain. Joe Dalum and Joe Pellissier, Process Improvement Manager at NV Energy, spoke at the GTA on "Measuring Duty Cycles and Making the Business Case for Hybrid Electric." About Odyne Systems, LLC Odyne is a leader in hybrid drive systems for medium and heavy duty vehicles. Odyne's advanced plug-in hybrid technology enables trucks over 14,000 pounds to have substantially lower fuel consumption, lower emissions, improved performance, quieter job site operation and reduced operating and maintenance costs. Odyne has fielded more plug-in hybrid trucks to fleets throughout the United States than any other supplier. The company sells its unique modular hybrid system direct to truck manufacturers and through a global distribution and service network. The name Odyne represents the combination of "O" for Optimal and "dyne" for power or force. Odyne's hybrid system for medium and heavy duty trucks represents the best hybrid power solution for large trucks.

SHARC Energy selected by National Laboratory of the Rockies for advanced Wastewater Energy recovery project. Vancouver - (May 5, 2026) - SHARC International Systems Inc. (CSE: SHRC) (FSE: IWIA) (OTCQB: INTWF) ("SHARC Energy" or the "Company"), a global leader in Wastewater Energy Transfer ("WET") technology, is pleased to announce that it has received a purchase order from the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR), a federally funded research laboratory operated by Alliance for Energy Innovation, LLC. The purchase order supports the deployment of SHARC Energy's PIRANHA wastewater heat recovery system as part of a high-profile U.S. Department of War (DoW)-supported program at the Naval Postgraduate School's historic Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California. This program is focused on advancing high-efficiency domestic hot water retrofit solutions for large institutional facilities, one of the most energy-intensive and difficult-to-modernize building systems across DoW, formerly known as Department of Defence (DoD), infrastructure. The initiative aims to validate scalable, cost-effective technologies that improve building performance, reduce operating costs, and enhance energy resilience. Currently, there are 150,000 space heating and cooling units and more than 70,000 domestic hot water heaters at DoW installations. Many of these legacy units operate at poor efficiency levels due to lack of adequate and consistent preventative and regular maintenance of these units over the years. SHARC Energy's PIRANHA system is an integrated, all-electric WET solution that captures thermal energy from a building's wastewater stream and upgrades it via a water-to-water heat pump to deliver high-efficiency domestic hot water. The recently developed PIRANHA HC system can produce up to 100% of a building's hot water demand at 140°F year-round, while simultaneously providing supplemental cooling and dehumidification. The installed system is expected to deliver approximately 120,000 Btu/h of domestic hot water capacity, alongside integrated cooling and dehumidification, enabling simultaneous heating and cooling from a single packaged unit. By leveraging wastewater as a stable thermal source, the PIRANHA system operates at high efficiency year-round in any climate and avoids many of the limitations of conventional air-source heat pumps, including reduced efficiency in cold climates and the need for auxiliary heating. The broader program targets up to 60% energy cost savings for domestic hot water systems, supporting the economic case for large-scale retrofit deployment across military, institutional, and commercial building portfolios. "This purchase order represents an important step in expanding SHARC Energy's presence within U.S. federal and institutional markets," said Michael Albertson, CEO of SHARC Energy. "Our PIRANHA technology is ideally suited for retrofit applications where energy efficiency, cost savings, and system resilience are critical. We are proud to support the National Laboratory of the Rockies and its partners in advancing scalable solutions for high-performance buildings." The project also includes collaboration with Honeywell as a technology transition partner, leveraging its extensive experience in energy performance contracting (ESPC) to support future commercialization and deployment across existing customer portfolios. Insights from the program are expected to inform the economics and scalability of domestic hot water system retrofits across a wide range of facilities. The PIRANHA system's compact, packaged design allows for simplified installation in retrofit environments, with features including: * All-in-one wastewater heat recovery, hot water generation, and cooling * Simultaneous heating and cooling capability * No requirement for maceration or pre-filtration * Compatibility with both blackwater and greywater systems * Quiet operation, remote monitoring, and modular scalability The project is expected to generate real-world performance data to support broader adoption of wastewater energy recovery technologies across North America.
