New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority Selects ESW ThermaCat™ Diesel Retrofit Technology

Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. (OTCBB: ESWW) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange FWB: EOW) announced today that the company's exclusive New York distributor, E Global Solutions (EGS), has been awarded a long-term contract with the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) of New York City. The contract provides for EGS to supply ESW's ThermaCat™ Level III Plus Active Diesel Particulate Filter (ADPF) retrofit technology to the Authority to satisfy New York State diesel engine emission control requirements. Under the supply and installation contract, EGS will also supply the market leading ThermaCat™ ADPF to the Long Island Rail Road, the Triboro Bridge and Tunnel Authority and the Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority.

The contract results from the New York State Diesel Emissions Reduction Act, Part 248/249 of 2006. This law mandates that any vehicles over 8500 lbs. powered by diesel engine which are State owned, operated, on behalf of or leased by these agencies must be retrofit with the "best available" technology for the reduction of particulate matter within a determined time period. Statewide, the legislation calls for the retrofit of over 30,000 registered heavy-duty diesel vehicles and engines.

Anthony Straggi, President of E Global Solutions commented, "This law mandates all state agencies, as well as any and all private contractors doing business with these agencies, to retrofit their owned, operated or leased vehicles."

Today's acknowledgement puts EGS and ESW in a great position to capture a significant share of this potential $300 million market governed by the State of New York's air quality legislation. Mr. Straggi added, "The ThermaCat™ ADPF is quickly becoming the retrofit technology of choice for hundreds of different vehicle applications in the regulated New York market. As demonstrated by the MTA's selection, this long-term contract signifies an important launching point for both companies in deploying the ThermaCat™ across thousands of mandated heavy-duty diesel applications across the state."

"We believe the fact that the MTA cometitively selected the ESW ThermaCat™ over other Level III Plus retrofit products, speaks volumes for our technology and the strength of our distributor EGS to deliver into this demanding opportunity. This is an important step for our Company," said David J. Johnson, President and CEO of ESW. "The award to EGS is particularly noteworthy because it is in the form of a 'contract of convenience' allowing state agencies and their contractors to participate in the contract, thereby avoiding the lengthy process of preparing and issuing new requests for proposals."

"We thank EGS for its hard work and determination in securing this important contract." concluded Mr. Johnson. "We believe that EGS was awarded the contract because of its extensive history in diesel retrofit, successful track record of implementation in the New York region and superior ability to provide the right solution at the right time."
