SAE 2005 World Congress

DETROIT--April 15, 2005--Raser Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: RSTG) (“Raser” or the “Company”), a technology licensing company that develops and licenses advanced electric motor, controller and related technologies, has announced that racing legend Danny Sullivan, winner of the Indianapolis 500, drove a Formula racecar powered by Raser’s Symetron(TM) electric drive system in a demonstration at the Dana automotive proving grounds near Detroit Michigan yesterday.

The test drive featured Raser’s breakthrough high torque AC induction drive system. Raser organized the event to introduce Symetron(TM) technology to major automotive manufacturers and their suppliers, and to highlight recent test results which demonstrate Symetron(TM) technology to be the most powerful electric drive system available for hybrid and fuel cell electric cars today.

“This demonstration illustrates how Symetron(TM) technology can be applied to hybrids to assist the combustion engine, and also has the power to replace the combustion engine and drive electric motor dominant vehicles of the future,” said D. J. Priano, Senior Vice President for Raser.

Attending the demonstration were representatives of the military, major auto manufacturers and their suppliers. Dennis Wend, Executive Director, U.S. Army, National Automotive Center commented, “The Army is an early adopter of new technology. That’s why Raser was awarded a contract to apply their advanced technology in a new ISA design for Army hybrid vehicles. What we’re seeing today shows that this technology may be even more beneficial as we move to electric motor dominant hybrids and fuel cell vehicles because of its economy, high torque and operating range.”

Danny Sullivan has won 17 major races and is best known for his spectacular “spin and win” victory over Mario Andretti in the 1985 Indianapolis 500. Danny commented, “It’s clear that cars are going through a major evolution that will make hybrid electric technology key to the vehicles of choice in the near future. This evolution is not just for fuel economy and reduced emissions; adding a high power electric drive to a car can boost its acceleration and overall performance. I believe in the technology Raser has introduced here today to the automobile industry. Symetron(TM) technology is more powerful than anything we’ve had before, and makes it possible for us to drive the kinds of cars we prefer while enjoying the benefits of hybrid technology.”
