Stephen, thanks for sending the Partnership document to the Danish
government in response to their request for comments. As you know the UK
government has also released a draft climate change plan and has asked for
comments as well. Could you please forward the Partnership document to the
key people involved with MAC in the UK government and the leading UK MAC
trade association (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) as well?

Ward,

I agree with you absolutely. Taking in regard that 1/3 of the costs of an AC-system is caused by the hoses and fittings, a high ratio of leakage problems in service and production is related to this subject, etc. ....

I'm concerned but I also understood that this is a kind of challenge for new solutions and for a competition. We need to get this solved for CO2-systems and it has a very high priority on our tasklist.

We are in touch with different suppliers building up an A-Class CO2-system the requirements are clear defined. We will choose only a supplier who is able to offer new ideas for this subject.

P.S.

DC will have one CO2 car (Chrysler Grand Cherokee Jeep, Color green,
internal color sand, diesel engine)during the Phoenix meeting available. We
have built up together with Denso in Germany the system. We have finished it
this week and measured excellent cooling performance in comparison to the
R134a system. We are now shipping the car to Phoenix.

Roland that's the email ! lost. The subjects sound very good. Let YL at SAE know about these papers so they can be included in the program.

I'm concerned about the lack of development on draft standards. I think that

we

must start some standards for service fitting ports -- component connections

Wael,

This is just to confirm our discussion this afternoon. Please see what you
can do to give the U.S. Army a seat in the official ride program. This year
it will be just myself attending. My goal is to be assigned to CO2 cars,
especially any that were not there last year. I think we can offer a level
of independence in our evaluations that is hard to duplicate from carmaker
reps. Although we are supporting CO2 technology development, we have no
built-in preferences for anyone's products.

P.S. I received no feedback from SAE or EPA to my earlier messages
regarding the sponsored research program. (I had recommended S.U.V.s and
P/U trucks for consideration as development platforms.) Back in March
during SAE week in Detroit, at the Mobile Air Conditioning Climate
Protection Partnership working group session, Dr. Andersen had announced
that he would be looking for U.S. Army support for future research. I will
want to support this, but I will have to lobby for funding from
headquarters, and so it will be a plus to see platforms up for consideration
that closely relate to our needs. In fact, Ward should by now have received
detailed data for the GMC Jimmy S.U.V., which is a vehicle we are already
using as a baseline for work at U of Illinois.

I understand that things are hectic but moving along and everyone is very
busy getting ready for July, so I'll look forward to the discussions at that
time.

Thanks,

John
