           CLEAN DIESEL REFUSES TO COMPLY WITH DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW

Bridgeport, CT - (October 5, 2010) - The Committee to Restore Stockholder Value
and Integrity for Clean Diesel (the "Committee") today announced that it
received a letter from Clean Diesel in which the Committee was advised that
Clean Diesel simply refuses to honor Section 220 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law and the company's own bylaws by its refusal to provide the
Committee with a stockholder list and other requested stockholder materials.
Clean Diesel had also previously refused to schedule a Special Meeting as
demanded by the Committee to permit Clean Diesel stockholders to remove the
existing board and elect the Committee's slate of independent directors.

The Committee has demanded compliance by Clean Diesel within 24 hours.  In the
event the company fails to comply with this further demand, the Committee will
seek redress from the US Securities and Exchange Commission as well as
appropriate Delaware courts.  The Committee regrets that Clean Diesel has forced
stockholders onto this path, which will end up costing Clean Diesel stockholders
unnecessarily.

The Committee believes Clean Diesel stockholders are entitled to choose who
should run their company and eliminate further conflicts of interest and neglect
of fiduciary duties by the existing board.  The Committee's demands and actions
on behalf of Clean Diesel stockholders are intended to advance the best
interests of stockholders.

THE COMMITTEE TO RESTORE STOCKHOLDER VALUE AND INTEGRITY FOR CLEAN DIESEL IS
PROVIDING THE FOREGOING INFORMATION TO STOCKHOLDERS PRIOR TO FILING OF A
DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 14A-12.  WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ASKING
YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY AT THIS TIME.

PARTICIPATE IN THE SOLICITATION, INCLUDING THEIR DIRECT OR INDIRECT INTERESTS,
BY SECURITY HOLDINGS OR OTHERWISE, CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE OF THE COMMITTEE
