Recently GM Thailand announced that it signed a letter of intent
with the Petroleum Authority of Thailand and the Ministry of Science,
Technology and Environment, for a pilot study to verify the
commercial production of Thailand-produced Zafiras.  GM said Thailand
was the natural choice for the pilot study under GM's Global
Alternative Fuel Project because of its abundant resources of natural
gas, as published in The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition,
March 28, 2001.
QUANTUM is a world leader in the development of hydrogen,
compressed natural gas (CNG) and propane (LPG) handling and advanced
