Bridgeport, CT - February 11, 2009 - Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. 
(NASDAQ:CDTI; XETRA:CDIA; AIM:CDT), the cleantech emissions reduction company, 
today announced the appointment of Michael L. Asmussen, 38, as President, Chief 
Executive Officer and Director in place of Dr. Bernhard Steiner who has resigned 
from the Company. 
 
 
Dr. Steiner has given valuable service to the Company, especially in the 
development of our International markets. As the company continues its evolution 
towards focused execution and growth with critical focus on the Americas, 
Michael's background and prior experience positions him well to lead the company

Prior to joining Clean Diesel Technologies in September 2008, from 1996 to 2007, 
Mr. Asmussen held a variety of positions at Eaton Corporation, a diversified 
power management company with 2007 sales of $13 billion. Between 2005 and 2007, 
Mr. Asmussen managed the Mirror Controls Division sales and marketing team where 
his primary focus was driving global growth strategies, and during this time he 
helped significantly increase sales. In 2007, he led the divestiture of the 
Mirror Controls Division and became Vice President of Sales and Marketing for 
Mirror Controls International, the world's largest automotive mirror actuator 
manufacturer. In addition to assisting in the establishment of new 
organizational structures, his broad scope of responsibilities included P&L 
accountability, strategic market planning, and leadership of the global sales 
and marketing organization. From 2002 to 2005, Mr. Asmussen was Strategy Manager 
for the Specialty Controls Division of Eaton Automotive, a global leader in 
critical automotive components to reduce emissions and fuel consumption, and 
improve vehicle stability and performance. From 2000 to 2002, he served as 
Customer Manager for all North American sales initiatives with Ford Motor 
Company. Mr. Asmussen holds M.B.A. and Bachelor of Science degrees 
from Michigan State University. 
Derek Gray, Chairman of Clean Diesel Technologies, stated, "We are very pleased 
to make this appointment as Michael's solid industry experience in sales and 
marketing complements our overall business strategy. Michael brings very strong 
relationships with a number of key original equipment manufacturers and tier-one 
and tier-two suppliers, which will be instrumental as we aggressively pursue our 
licensing strategy. Under his leadership, Michael helped to significantly 
increase sales at the Mirror Controls Division at Eaton, while maintaining a 
sharp focus on managing resources and improving operational efficiency. As we 
turn our attention to operational execution and growing the demand for our 
technologies in the Americas, we are confident that Michael's diverse experience 
and organizational leadership skills make him well suited to lead our efforts."
