**Approves Gasoline/Propane Conversion for Ford 4.6 Liter Engines**

MESA, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 5, 2006--AFV Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: AFVS - News), a diversified energy company, has received a certificate of conformity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its gasoline/propane bifuel conversion system for the model years 2004 and 2005 Ford Motor Co. 4.6 liter engines. The system allows a vehicle to operate on either gasoline or propane with a simple flip of a switch, unlike dedicated propane or natural gas systems which can only operate on one fuel source. 

The AFV Solutions system is the only EPA-certified propane bifuel system currently available in the U.S. market, spanning the 2003, 2004 and 2005 Ford 4.6 liter engines. It will be sold as a conversion system, to be installed on the Ford Crown Victoria, Crown Victoria Police, Lincoln Town Car and Mercury Grand Marquis automobiles. 

"We chose this Ford engine family for our initial system because the 4.6 liter-equipped Crown Victoria is the fleet vehicle of choice for law-enforcement agencies, taxi services and state and federal government agencies throughout the United States," said AFVS President Jeff Groscost. "Fleet operators that retrofit with our system and purchase bulk propane can substantially reduce their fuel costs, often by up to 40 percent, while increasing their vehicles' longevity and reducing maintenance costs." 

After extensive research, development and testing, the AFVS bifuel propane system has successfully passed all federal emission and operating standards required by EPA, registering significantly below established emission limits. 

AFV Solutions' systems are extremely reliable and are based on technology platforms which have been proven in commercial applications with more than 30 million operating miles in the field. 

AFVS developed its systems with the belief that a propane-based bifuel solution offers significant flexibility for consumers and fleet operators, in the ultimate transition from gasoline-based vehicles. In addition, most propane is domestically produced in the United States and nearly as widely available as gasoline. Furthermore, propane has not followed the dramatic price increases of crude oil and gasoline.
