Automotive technology firm Rotoblock Corporation (OTCBB:ROTB) has signed a development and license agreement with Brazilian automotive company OBVIO ! for the development and incorporation of a more compact Oscillating Piston Engine into the OBVIO ! 828, 012 and subsequent models.

OBVIO ! has agreed to license Rotoblock's technology for the Oscillating Piston Engine (OPE) in exchange for US$5,000,000 (Five million US Dollars), paid through a royalty agreement on each unit sold. Rotoblock would receive additional royalties after terms of the initial agreement have been met. OBVIO ! is in the process of manufacturing two microcars powered by traditional internal combustion engines and OBVIO ! officials are interested in the OPE's ability to be incorporated into an ethanol hybrid drive train projected for production.

"The business plan laid out for Rotoblock was to develop the Oscillating Piston Engine to a point where we could start generating revenue by licensing the technology," said Rotoblock President Matthias R. Heinze. "Our new venture with OBVIO ! has allowed us to reach this milestone."

Rotoblock says that the second generation of the OPE was constructed as a test model and would necessitate joint efforts with OBVIO ! to develop a more compact engine suitable for hybrid applications.

"The third generation OPE would be lightweight and compact enough for hybrid applications," said OBVIO ! President Ricardo Machado. "Its small size opens the engine compartment to the availability of additional battery space. We think the result will be a microsports car with a lot of muscle and the fact that the OPE can also use ethanol makes the engine the ideal candidate."

OBVIO ! calls its unique automotive designs microcars, small enough to park two to a normal parking space, or short enough to back into parallel parking spot. Bench seating allows room for three adult passengers. i-Mobile would supply an on-board multi-function computer, providing personal computing, GPS satellite navigation, satradio, Internet, e-mail and multimedia functions. Enhanced safety for the microsport cars uses an innovative elliptical ring structural design derived from aeronautical crash management technology.

Finally starting to rise on volume this morning. I would think this has got to go up from this bottom on such news.
