GreenMan Technologies, Inc. Delays Filing Quarterly Form 10-QSB
Reports Estimated Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2005


      LYNNFIELD, Massachusetts - February 16, 2006,--- GreenMan Technologies,
Inc. (AMEX: GRN), a leading recycler of over 20 million scrap tires per year in
the United States, today announced the filing of its Form 10-QSB for the quarter
ended December 31, 2005 will be delayed due to the previously announced delay in
filing the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005
(See our January 4, 2006 release). Management intends to file the Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB within the next 30 days.

      Chuck Coppa, GreenMan's Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We estimate the
aggregate net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 to be approximately
$1.3 million (including approximately $746,000 associated with our discontinued
Georgia operations and approximately $550,000 of non-cash deferred financing
charges) as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.8 million for the quarter
ended December 2004 (including approximately $1.1 million associated with our
discontinued operations in Georgia and Tennessee, approximately $91,000 of
non-cash deferred financing charges and $270,000 associated with the write-off
of a deferred tax asset)." Mr. Coppa added, "As previously noted, during the
quarter ended December 31, 2005, we substantially curtailed Georgia operations
in anticipation of the pending divestiture of all Georgia operations which we
anticipate completing prior to month end".

      In addition, Mr. Coppa noted that GreenMan received notice on February 14,
2006 from the American Stock Exchange that, based on a subsequent review of
GreenMan's Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, GreenMan is not in
compliance with the Exchange's requirements for continued listing set forth in
Section 1003(a)(i)of the Exchange's Company Guide with respect to having at
least $2 million in shareholder's equity and losses from continuing operations
and/or net losses in two out of its three most recent fiscal years. In order to
maintain its listing on the Exchange, GreenMan must submit a plan by March 14,
2006 advising the Exchange of action it has taken, or will take, that would
bring the company into compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide
no later than February 14, 2007. If the plan is accepted by the Exchange,
GreenMan will remain listed during the plan period. If GreenMan's plan is not
accepted or if GreenMan is not in compliance with the Exchange's filing
requirements on or before March 20, 2006, as previously reported (See our
February 8, 2006 release), the Exchange may initiate delisting proceedings.
GreenMan may appeal any determination to initiate delisting proceedings.

      Chuck Coppa, GreenMan's Chief Financial Officer stated, "Our American
Stock Exchange listing is very important to us and we will submit our compliance
plan with the Exchange by the March 14, 2006 deadline."
