Sparta Adds Another Key Component to TruckSuite(TM) COVID-19 Safety Package

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / Sparta Group (TSXV:SAY) (the "Corporation" the "Company", "Sparta Group", "Sparta Capital" or "Sparta") has entered into an agreement with dynaCERT Inc. to distribute their HydraGEN™ Technology to its TruckSuite™ customer base. The HydraGEN™ Technology is a carbon emissions reduction system that improves the operational efficiency of internal combustion engines.

The Dealer Agreement was put in place to complement the exclusive, symbiotic suite of COVID-19 safety tools that Sparta's TruckSuite Canada™ division has been assembling, as previously announced in a July 16, 2020 news release.

How HydraGEN™ works…

The patented HydraGEN™ technology creates hydrogen on-demand through a unique electrolysis system that supplies gases through the air intake of an internal combustion engine ("ICE") thus enhancing operational efficiency. The result… lower carbon emissions and improved fuel economy. Sparta has been following dynaCERT's distribution progress, including expanding their reach into the United States, as well as Europe, and most recently, their announcement for achieving the acclaimed United Nations Smart City status. While based in Toronto, dynaCERT has a growing national and international reputation as a dynamic energy company.

As previously announced,the suite of COVID-19 safety tools will be branded through the company's TruckSuite™ division, which was originally designed to look after the health of trucks, but has been extended to the health of truckers as well, due to the unusual times we are living in. On July 23, 2020 Sparta issued a news release announcing a licensing agreement to distribute and co-develop a package of nanotechnology formulations aimed at killing harmful pathogens on the drivers and in their cabs, then on August 7, 2020 Sparta issued another news release announcing the signing of a distribution agreement with SBL Testing Technologies to provide fast COVID-19 antibody testing and analysis for truckers [who are putting their lives at risk every day]. Now with the addition of the HydraGen™ technology, it is expected that all the offered benefits will be provided with little or no additional operational cost.

"We're pleased to secure this agreement with dynaCERT so this promising technology can be made available to our client base. It's vitally important for us to continue to add to our environmental technology arsenal to further help our customers lower their carbon footprint and find energy efficiencies. In essence, TruckSuite™ with all its available components, including the HydraGEN™ is about health - health of the vehicle, health of the driver, health of the planet and health of the bottom line for operators," said Sparta President and CTO, John O'Bireck.

Jim Payne, CEO of dynaCERT stated, "The COVID-19 imperative to provide testing and health product to truckers in North America is fully supported by dynaCERT. As Sparta markets such high-profile COVID-19 products to trucking fleets, we are pleased that our patented HydraGEN™ Technology will be featured side by side for this huge market. Clean safe air, inside and outside the cab of every truck, is excellent co-branding for both dynaCERT and Sparta."

At the heart of the TruckSuite™ Canada package is a very powerful bi-directional TreeFrog™ data processing system that allows TruckSuite™ to communicate in real-time with the inter-workings of every vehicle in the network on a 24/7 basis, including with the HydraGEN™. The data gathering, in combination with various industry tools, enables TruckSuite™ to help significantly reduce the Owner/Operator's costly vehicle downtime - and maximize valuable vehicle uptime. Successful participation in the TruckSuite™ program means the vehicle operator can - Just Drive.
