VENTURA, Calif., April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Turbodyne Technologies, Inc. (OTC:TRBD) (BULLETIN BOARD: TRBD) today announced the election of Anthony Barclae to its board of directors. Mr. Barclae began his career in the automotive industry in 1948 at Ford Motor Company where he was responsible for purchasing over $1 billion a year in auto parts at the time. In 1955 he joined Maremont Corp, an auto parts manufacturer as Vice President of OEM Sales where he helped grow the OEM sales division from $10 million to $60 million. In 1964, Mr. Barclae founded Falcon Industries, Inc., an auto parts manufacturing concern based in Troy, MI. which he grew to $80 million in sales before selling a majority of the company and retiring in 1993. Since 1993, Mr. Barclae has been an independent consultant in the automotive parts and components industry. "I am pleased to join the board of Turbodyne Technologies, Inc. I believe that the company possesses key technology that will enable major changes to take place in the area of internal combustion engine propulsion and emissions reduction. As new smaller displacement engines and hybrid technology become the focus of commercial production, independently controlled air induction on demand will become a key factor necessary to achieve and exceed the current levels of output of larger displacement engines. I am excited to help guide the company's efforts," said Barclae. "We are excited to have Mr. Barclae join our board. We believe Mr. Barclae's experience and influence in the automotive industry will serve as a valuable asset in our endeavor to build the company," said Albert Case, CEO of Turbodyne.
