                         AND INTEGRITY FOR CLEAN DIESEL



Bridgeport, CT - (August 12, 2010) - The Committee to Restore Stockholder Value
and Integrity for Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc., a NASDAQ company, today
announced that it filed a Stop, Look and Listen Letter with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC).  The content of the letter is as follows:


Dear Stockholders:

     We reaffirm our dissatisfaction with the current board and management of
Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (CDTI).  These individuals continue to put
stockholder value at risk.

     OUR GOAL IS TO RESTORE STOCKHOLDER CONFIDENCE AND VALUE TO CLEAN DIESEL
TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

We've identified several troubling issues, as shown in the attached memorandum,
and are extremely concerned, as we believe many of you are as well.

The troubling NEW ISSUES since our first letter in mid-July are outlined in the
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
attached memorandum.
- --------------------

On Behalf of the Committee to Restore Stockholder Value and Integrity for Clean
Diesel,

/s/ Andrew Merz Hanson
- ----------------------
Andrew Merz Hanson, CFA, Chairman
John J. McCloy II
Ann B. Ruple, CPA

We appreciate and need your support.  If you have any questions or comments,
please contact us at info@RestoreClean Diesel.com.  You can learn more about how
                     ----------------------------
Clean Diesel's current management is destroying stockholder value, the
self-interested actions of management and the sitting board at
www.RestoreCleanDiesel.com.  Shortly, we will advise you of our board
- --------------------------
candidates.



MEMORANDUM:CLEAN DIESEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (CDTI)
- -------------------------------------------------


OUR PLAN

We have a plan to build the Clean Diesel business.  We believe in a lean
organization focused on sales.  We intend to significantly reduce the existing
corporate overhead.  We believe it is essential to preserve corporate resources
for viable strategies, and immediately stop the current management's cash burn.
We will exit unprofitable businesses and start by opening the channels to those
that are already requesting Clean Diesel's products.  We will have the Clean
Diesel intellectual property portfolio assessed, and believe there is intrinsic
value in it that can be harvested for stockholder benefit.

TROUBLING NEW ISSUES
- --------------------

THE MERGER WITH CATALYTIC SOLUTIONS (CSI) IS A BUM DEAL FOR CLEAN DIESEL
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCKHOLDERS.
- -------------

1.     THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN A SHOTGUN WEDDING to
save CSI by effectively selling Clean Diesel stock for $0.43 per share to some
CSI shareholders and giving up control of the company.

2.     CLEAN DIESEL STOCKHOLDERS DO NOT EVEN HAVE APPRAISAL OR DISSENTERS'
RIGHTS in connection with the merger or the issuance of the shares of Clean
Diesel common stock or warrants to purchase shares of Clean Diesel common stock
in connection with the merger.

3.     WE BELIEVE THE CURRENT CDTI DIRECTORS ARE NOT PERFORMING THEIR FIDUCIARY
DUTY TO PROTECT STOCKHOLDERS' INTERESTS REGARDING THE MERGER.  We are concerned
that the sitting CDTI directors are acting based on unenlightened self-interest
to benefit themselves and not the CDTI stockholders.

     -    Derek Gray, a director, along with one of his investors, will
          participate in a private placement of CDTI common stock and warrants
          at an advantageous price which is scheduled to take place immediately
          before the merger is consummated.

     -    Derek Gray is one of the sitting directors who would continue as
          a director in the merged company - at a higher rate of compensation.

     -    Michael Asmussen, a director, CEO, and President would get
          relocation cost reimbursement, a raise to $330,000 per year and a
          guaranteed bonus of $165,000 in 2011 as Vice President, and Chief
          Commercial Officer of the merged company, despite performance. A
          $495,000+ PACKAGE IN SPITE OF RESULTS.

     -    Michael Asmussen is one of the sitting directors who would
          continue as a director in the merged company.

     -    Charles Grinnell, a director, has entered into an agreement that
          provides for a "transition bonus" of $86,730 if the merger occurs
          under specified circumstances.


          -     Mungo Park, a director, through his firm Innovator Capital,
               will receive an investment-banking fee of 512,612 shares of Clean
               Diesel and $73,333 in cash if the merger goes through.

     -    Mungo Park is one of the sitting directors who would continue as
          a director in the merged company.

CSI MAY NOT SURVIVE AS AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY
- ---------------------------------------------

4.     CSI 's auditors have expressed "going concern" issues, and management has
disclosed:

     -    "At this time, we cannot provide any assurances that we will be
          successful in continuing efforts to re-capitalize the balance sheet or
          work with our lenders on loan modifications. In the event that we are
          not successful in the immediate future, we will be unable to continue
          operations and may be required to file bankruptcy. There can be no
          assurances that we will be able to reorganize through bankruptcy and
          might be forced to effect a liquidation of our assets."

5.     After 110 days beyond quarter-end, CSI published late the results for its
first quarter.  45 days after quarter-end is the U.S. SEC requirement for
providing quarterly results

CSI continues to generate negative cash flow.  We note the $3.9 million
non-recurring gain from the sale of intellectual property and wonder about the
quality of CSI earnings.

6.            CSI already is in violation of its bank covenants and indicates
negotiations are again underway to extend the forbearance deadline, extended now
until August 31, 2010.

7.     CSI has financed itself with a "poisoned convertible" which will dilute
stockholders of Clean Diesel if a merger occurs.  This is described more fully
below.

8.     CSI has disclosed that its outlook for the catalyst business has
deteriorated in that sales of the multi-phase catalyst will be down in 2010 due
to lack of approvals.

CSI HAS MATERIAL POTENTIAL LEGAL LIABILITIES WHICH CLEAN DIESEL STOCKHOLDERS
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAVE NO REASON TO ASSUME.
- -------------------------

9.     CSI ASSETS MAY BE SUBJECT TO A $2.4 MILLION WRIT OF ATTACHMENT, A
MATERIAL AMOUNT.

     -    The arbitrator has issued an interim order in favor of Applied
          Utility Systems which is awaiting confirmation by the applicable
          court, and if confirmed, CSI's assets would be subject to limitations
          on their use which would further limit CSI's ability to conduct
          ordinary business. This $2.4 million amount represents a seller's note
          that CSI did not repay when it matured in August 2009, plus accrued
          interest, with certain offsets (recorded on CSI records, but watch for
          gains from this in CSI's second quarter, per CSI's disclosure).




10.     CSI DISCLOSED A $21 MILLION CONTINGENT LIABILITY.

     -    We believe this exposure - its existence a matter of fact as per
          CSI auditors and other advisors - is unacceptable for CDTI
          stockholders. CSI has not accrued any amount for this contingent
          obligation of $21 million (maximum).


CDTI STOCKHOLDERS WILL BE DILUTED BY THE $4 MILLION VENTURE BRIDGE LOAN TO CSI -
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE CHARACTERIZE THIS AS ACRAM DOWN WITH A POISONED CONVERTIBLE.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

11.     Per the amended registration statement filed July 22, 2010:

     -    The CSI venture debt holders will receive 9,376,136 shares of
          Clean Diesel for a consideration of $4 million, or $0.43 per share -
          one-third the price paid by CDTI new investors putting $1 million into
          Clean Diesel.

     -    That is a bargain purchase since the assumed price per share for
          your CDTI shares in the amended registration statement is $1.21.

     -    The poisoned convert is like a gun pointed at the head of the CSI
          shareholders to force them into a shotgun wedding where action began
          August 2. "IN THE EVENT THAT CSI DEFAULTS ON THE TERMS OF THE SECURED
          CONVERTIBLE NOTES OR FAILS TO COMPLETE THE MERGER BY AUGUST 2, 2010,
          THE MATURITY DATE OF THE SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES AS AMENDED, THE
          OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL AMOUNT UNDER THE NOTES, ANY INTEREST THEREON AND
          AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT PREMIUM OF TWO TIMES (2X) THE OUTSTANDING
          PRINCIPAL AMOUNT WILL BE DUE TO THE INVESTORS."

     -    Does this new venture money to CSI primarily benefit CSI's chairman's
          fund?

     -    Are the other CSI venture groups unwilling to further invest in
          CSI due to risk of contingent obligations, bankruptcy?

12.     We existing CDTI stockholders receive less than 40% of the merged
           --------
company per the amended registration statement and would be subject to further
dilution from more than five (5) million CDTI warrants to be issued.

WE BELIEVE THE CURRENT BOARD HAS JEOPARDIZED CLEAN DIESEL'S ABILITY TO REMAIN
LISTED ON NASDAQ.

     -    Without resolution, we are approaching the anniversary of CDTI
          becoming deficient regarding NASDAQ listing requirements, August 28.

     -    The current board has taken no action to rectify the lack of a
          majority-independent board and continues to maintain a one-director
          audit committee.

     -    We believe that delisting would substantially damage Clean Diesel.


WE BELIEVE THE PROPOSED MERGED COMPANY WILL HAVE INSUFFICIENT INITIAL CASH TO
ENSURE A VIABLE BUSINESS.

     -    We believe CDTI continues to squander stockholders' funds by
          carrying on with consideration of this merger while neglecting the
          business of CDTI.

     -    We note that both CSI and CDTI each need only $1 million at the
          time of closing.

     -    We note that $488,000 in "retention and success bonuses" will be
          paid if the merger is consummated - how is this reward aligned with
          CDTI stockholders?

     -    We note the compensation arrangement for Mike Asmussen is a
          $495,000 guaranteed package in 2011 - regardless of performance - plus
          generous relocation allowance, and believe this an irresponsible
          burden to heap onto a cash starved company.

THIS COMMITTEE BELIEVES IN THE FUTURE OF CLEAN DIESEL.  A NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS
MUST  BE  INSTALLED  AS  QUICKLY  AS  POSSIBLE.
