Arotech to Demonstrate Ultra-Capacitor / Zinc-Air Hybrid Electric Bus in
Albany, NY, November 6, 2003

All Electric Bus Reduces Pollution and Reduces Dependence on Imported Fuel

September 24, 2003 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) announced today that its Electric Fuel Battery Corporation subsidiary will demonstrate its all-electric bus in Albany, NY, on November 6, 2003. This demonstration will mark the finalization of Phase III of the Zinc-Air All Electric Transit Bus program with the Federal Transit Administration. Invited dignitaries and the general public will have the opportunity to ride the electric bus that recently achieved a record 145 mile range, in tests simulating severe urban traffic. Details of the exact time and venue will be announced later.

Powered by the Company's Electric Fuel zinc air fuel cell technology, a pack of advanced ultra capacitors and an improved energy management system, the hybrid all electric bus has zero tailpipe emissions. An urban transit fleet based the Electric Fuel bus, will not only improve the quality of the air – it will also help improve National security by reducing the dependence on imported fuel.

In a recent test the bus traveled 145 miles under typical city bus driving conditions, including stop and go, acceleration and constant speed. The average normal full day cycle for New York City buses is less than 90 miles. The Company believes that all-electric buses utilizing Electric Fuel's Zinc-Air technology have sufficient range to offer a practical alternative to diesel powered buses.

The Electric Fuel All Electric Transit Bus is designed to operate as a full-size, zero emission 40-foot bus having a 20-ton gross vehicle weight (including passengers) and operating all standard bus features, including air conditioning.

“We invite everyone concerned both with the environment and with our growing dependence on imported fuel to attend this demonstration drive,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech Chairman and CEO. “This drive will offer a first hand opportunity to witness our advanced zinc-air technology.”
