  * Ford confirms first high volume CGI petrol engine for F150
  * Ram 1500 with CGI diesel engine to begin sales in February
  * Thirteen vehicles on display with "SinterCast-inside"

[Detroit,  14 January 2014] - The unveiling of the 2015 Ford F150 pick-up truck,
North  America's  best-selling  vehicle  for  the  last  37 years,  included the
introduction  of  a  new  2.7 litre  EcoBoost(®)  V6 petrol engine, becoming the
smallest engine in the pick-up truck sector while still providing the power of a
mid-range  V8.  The introduction demonstrates the downsizing capabilities of CGI
and  confirms the first-ever high volume  application of Compacted Graphite Iron
(CGI)  for a gasoline engine cylinder block, following SinterCast's announcement
of  the  gasoline  breakthrough  at  the  2012 Annual  General  Meeting  of  the
shareholders.  The auto show also featured the Ram 1500 pick-up with a 3.0 litre
V6  diesel engine based on a  SinterCast-CGI cylinder block and bedplate.  After
being  awarded Motor  Trend's Truck  of the  Year award  and receiving a coveted
Wards  10 Best Engines  award in  December, the  diesel Ram  is poised  to begin
showroom sales in February.  The Ford and Ram successes give SinterCast its long
sought  breakthrough in the pick-up sector, providing a presence for SinterCast-
CGI in two of North America's three top-selling vehicles.

"January  in Detroit is always important  for industry insiders and enthusiasts,
but this year is more special for SinterCast" said Dr. Steve Dawson, President &
CEO  of  SinterCast.   "Walking  through  the  halls, I count thirteen different
vehicles  with  "SinterCast-inside",  and  even  more positive feedback from OEM
partners who appreciate the contributions that SinterCast has made."
