FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

   THE COMMITTEE TO RESTORE STOCKHOLDER VALUE AND INTEGRITY FOR CLEAN DIESEL
                ANNOUNCES JEREMY PETER-HOBLYN AS SPECIAL ADVISOR

BRIDGEPORT, CT - (SEPTEMBER 27, 2010) - The Committee to Restore Stockholder
Value and Integrity for Clean Diesel (the "Committee" or the "Blue Team") today
announced that Jeremy D. Peter-Hoblyn has agreed to serve as a Special Advisor
to the Committee's Board of Directors. Mr. Peter-Hoblyn will provide advice and
expertise in a variety of areas, focused primarily on emissions reduction and
fuel economy technologies. He was formerly Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc., and retired from Clean Diesel in 2004 after
more than ten years at the company.

"We are delighted to welcome Jeremy to the Blue Team. We consider Jeremy as the
"Father of the Clean Diesel's technologies" and are pleased that he agreed to
support the Committee. Jeremy has a unique combination of operating and
technology development experiences in the emissions reduction and fuel economy
arenas. He is an accomplished and talented executive, with vision and wisdom,
and an enviable track record of building technologies for emissions reduction
requirements around the world. We believe the extensive experience and unique
skill set he brings to us will prove invaluable to the Committee's existing and
future technological and commercial endeavors. We look forward to benefiting
from his operating expertise, strategic perspectives and broad industry
relationships," said John J. McCloy, II, Committee member and Board of
Directors' nominee.

Mr. Peter-Hoblyn commented, "Historically, Clean Diesel set out to develop
technologies that coupled emission reduction with fuel economy improvement and
were both proprietary and capable of becoming 'industry standard technologies.'
One technology has now become an industry standard. I have told the Committee
that I will accept no remuneration for my services as a Special Advisor and that
my efforts now are to ensure that the Clean Diesel stockholders benefit from the
value of technologies that have been developed through the years.

Mr. Peter-Hoblyn has many years' experience in the understanding and development
of technologies for fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, among other fields.
Mr. Peter-Hoblyn was Chief Executive Officer of Clean Diesel from its inception
until his retirement in September 2004. He was President from inception and
Chairman of Clean Diesel from 2002 until 2003. Mr. Peter-Hoblyn also served as
the acting Chief Technology Officer of Clean Diesel from 2004 until 2005. He was
a Managing Director of Fuel-Tech N.V. from 1987 through March 1, 2002.

The Committee is firmly committed to restoring stockholder confidence and value
to Clean Diesel by electing new Board Directors, removing current Board
Directors, installing world-renown advisors, appointing a new management team,
and implementing profitable business strategies. The Committee has nominated a
slate of two new directors for election - John J. McCloy II and Andrew Merz
Hanson. The purpose of the proxy solicitation by the Committee is to remove five
current directors of Clean Diesel - Michael L. Asmussen, Derek R. Gray, Charles
W. Grinnell, David F. Merrion, and Mungo Park - and to elect the two new
directors and the proxies solicited will be used to do so.

THE COMMITTEE TO RESTORE STOCKHOLDER VALUE AND INTEGRITY FOR CLEAN DIESEL IS

DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 14A-12.  WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ASKING
