Remy Electric Motors, LLC, has entered into an agreement with MotoCzysz
LLC to bring a revolutionary, new generation electric drive system to
market.  The unique drive system leverages Remy’s patented High Voltage
Hairpin (HVH) electric motor technology and patent-pending cooling and
integration technology from MotoCzysz. The resulting breakthrough is a
"complete electric drive system" optimized to elicit and manage the
full performance benefit of the powerful Remy motor.  The new
integrated D1g1tal Dr1ve is the first of its kind of a new
classification of complete electric drive solutions. Its compact size,
originating from motorcycle racing and winning performance, are
expected to provide a remarkable efficiency advantage to automobile and
other vehicle manufacturers.

MotoCzysz
is an innovator in the American motorcycle industry.
Today, the company focuses primarily on electric drive systems and
electric vehicles. "I believe electric drives are the purest and best
solution to propel the majority of automobiles around the world. The
D1g1tal Dr1ve was designed specifically with that vision in mind.  Our
partnership with Remy Electric Motors will allow us to deliver a
modern, simpler, evolved replacement for the 100 year-old gas engine.
Remy is a powerhouse in electric motor design and manufacturing and our
first choice for a partner in this emerging sector," says Michael Czysz,
Founder and CEO of MotoCzysz. Czysz concludes, "Our mutual goal is for
the D1g1tal Dr1ve to deliver the highest performance, greatest
efficiency and most integrated packaging solution available for
companies needing electric drive solutions."

Remy,
a leading global manufacturer, remanufacturer and distributor of light
duty starters and alternators and Delco Remy brand heavy-duty systems,
also manufactures electric motors for hybrid and electric vehicles.
With over a billion miles of proven reliability, Remy motors are an
industry leader. Remy CEO John Weber
says, "MotoCzysz proved their ability to optimize a Remy motor with
their astounding test results and win in the TT Zero electric
motorcycle race on the Isle of Man this year. Integrating that same
groundbreaking engineering with the patented Remy HVH motor is a win
for our electric automotive and light duty commercial customers. Remy
and MotoCzysz have the experience and technology to make this
remarkable propulsion system the new industry standard for electric
automobiles."

The
new D1g1tal Dr1ve combines high performance and efficiency in the
smallest, most integrated solution available. The system was originally
designed to fit a motorcycle frame. When applied to automobiles, this
weight and size advantage, coupled with disproportionately high
performance, will leapfrog other systems and provide OEMs, integrators
and converters unheard of efficiencies. In typical electric vehicles,
various components from a variety of vendors are assembled and then
connected together via wires. The D1g1tal Dr1ve system optimizes and
matches all high-voltage components in a single housing. The highly
integrated system is packaged as a "super axle" located between the two
drive wheels, delivering torque with unprecedented efficiency and
compactness.  Additionally the D1g1tal Dr1ve’s nearly wireless solution
provides additional overall safety for the vehicle.

The
first D1g1tal Dr1ve utilizing a liquid-cooled Remy internal permanent
magnet (IPM) motor will create class-leading torque (250ft/lbs) and
100kW (135hp) of power at 93% efficiency, measured at the rotor.
 Future models will extend the D1g1tal Dr1ve range to include an even
more powerful drive as well as a smaller, more compact option.  Remy
and MotoCzysz will make the game-changing D1g1tal Dr1ve unit available
in the second quarter of 2011.
