SinterCast Posts Record Series Production in First Quarter as Passenger Vehicle Sales Begin in North America

• March Series production reaches all-time high of over 900,000 Engine Equivalents
• Ford Super Duty® pick-up trucks on sale in North American dealer showrooms
• Production of Navistar MaxxForce™ 7 engine contributes to volume increase

[Stockholm, 8 April 2010] – Following Ford's announcement of its all-new 6.7 litre V8 diesel engine during September 2009, sales of the 2011 F-Series pick-up trucks have begun in North American dealer showrooms. The F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 vehicles establish a new benchmark as the first application of a Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) cylinder block in the high volume North American pick-up truck sector. The lead-up to the sales launch was preceded by the start of foundry production of the SinterCast-CGI cylinder block at the Tupy foundry in Brazil during mid-2009, followed by a rapid ramp-up to enable a seamless transition from the Model Year 2010 engine. The 6.7 litre Power Stroke V8 has received consistently rave reviews from motoring journalists for exceptional noise refinement, power, torque and fuel economy in excess of 26.5 mpg (<8.9 litres per 100 km), an improvement of 18-25% compared to the diesel engine option in Ford's 2010 Super Duty® pickups. These accomplishments were achieved while satisfying 2010 U.S. federal emissions regulations – the most stringent NOx emissions requirements in the world.

"As the best selling pick-ups for more than 30 years, the Ford F-Series is an ideal launching point for SinterCast and CGI in the North America pick-up truck sector." said Dr. Steve Dawson, President & CEO of SinterCast. "The rapid ramp-up of the Ford cylinder block production at the Tupy foundry in Brazil, combined with increased exhaust component production at the Dashiang Precision foundry in China and the start of production of the Navistar 6.4 litre V8 CGI cylinder block at the Cifunsa foundry in Mexico has more than doubled SinterCast's series production volume compared to the same period of 2009, providing a stable annualised production rate of approximately 850,000 Engine Equivalents (42,500 tonnes) throughout the first quarter. This volume surpasses the previous annualised high of 750,000 Engine Equivalents set in September 2008, prior to the onset of the economic downturn."
