FORT LAUDERDALE, FL”DECEMBER 30, 2008 World Cat, a builder of high quality power catamarans based in North Carolina, has selected Fischer Panda Generators for their new 290 Express Cabin (290EC), the company’s first 2009 model.

World Cat’s 290EC will feature the Panda 4200 Plus as the standard generator.

World Cat’s OEM installation expands Fischer Panda’s growth in the marine market, as well as establishes the capabilities of the company’s generators in the smaller, family fishing boat market, according to Chad Godwin, director of sales for the U.S. operations for Fischer Panda.

œMore OEMs are changing to Fischer Panda, which are rated as the smallest, lightest, quietest and most efficient marine diesel generators in the world, said Godwin.

Special features of the 290EC include a separate, enclosed head with access from the cabin and cockpit, walkthrough Euro transom, ample storage room, and comfortable cabin space for both avid fishermen and their families.

œAfter extensive research and testing of various marine gensets in World Cat power catamarans, Fischer Panda was determined to be the best for our applications based on quality, reliability, power output and physical size, said Chris Brockway VP of Product Development for World Cat. œFeedback from dealers and customers and a history of very few warranty claims has confirmed that we made the right decision to use Fischer Panda. Their product and service are both world class.

As the only true 100-percent, water-cooled asynchronous generators on the market, Fischer Panda stands apart from the competition. No other cooling system is more efficient. The Fischer Panda generator can cool the stator winding with nearly 100-
percent efficiency due to the unique design of the asynchronous rotor that has no

windings, no brushes or diodes. A conventional synchronous generator, on the other hand, can never achieve this level of efficiency because the rotor windings are cooled with air. That same air is very hot and transfers considerable noise. The air also carries humidity and dirt into the windings, which increases the resistance and thereby reduces electrical output.

The freshwater-cooled Fischer Panda generators provide distinct advantages over air-cooled generators, in size, weight, noise and efficiency.

Fischer Panda Generators has played a pioneering role in the design and
manufacture of marine and vehicle generators for the past 28 years. In 1978,
Fischer Generators Germany developed the quietest diesel generator in the
world. That trend towards small, quiet and super efficiency was to continue,
and in 1988, Fischer Generators added “Panda” to its brand and introduced
its proprietary and water-cooled asynchronous electric plant.

Fischer Panda U.S., which began operations in 1995, is located at 4345 NE 12 Terrace in Oakland Park, Florida. For more information, please call 954-462-2800 or access the company’s web site at www.fischerpanda.com.
