ATTACHMENT A

TASK 1: REVIEWING THE TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES OF THE DEVICE FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS AND SAVING FUEL AS DESCRIBED IN PATENT APPLICATION NUMBER PCT/AU01/00585

RAND will perform the following steps:

- Review patent information
- Review technical and theoretical literature related to the basis of the device
- Talk with and, in RAND's sole discretion, subcontract to automotive experts to ascertain past and existing efforts in developing technologies, theoretical bases, and discuss concerns that would exist about the impact of this, similar and other types of devices on engine and driving performance, including fuel economy, emissions, drivability and reliability
- Discuss with the technology developers and other experts on how this approach can be used on older vehicles with carburetors, older generations of fuel injectors and latest advances in fuel and direct injection engines
- Talk with experts about the potential for use of this technology in small and large trucks
- Estimate the market penetration needed to yield significant benefits

Deliverable: Project memorandum summarizing the technical basis for this device based on discussions and literature review and where possible outlining where gaps in the devices capability might be. RAND will not take a position on whether this device will likely work, but will report on findings from literature and discussions with experts.

TASK 2: ASSESSMENT AND REVIEW OF OPTIONS FOR REDUCING TAILPIPE EMISSIONS

RAND will provide an overview of critical transportation issues that relate to the reduction of emissions and improvement in efficiency. RAND will look at other methods of achieving similar results, reviewing the state-of-the-art technologies being developed to meet these regulations. Following on the recent workshop at UC Riverside, RAND will look at the capabilities of the next generation of internal combustion engines and hybrids, what they likely will achieve and at what cost. Through RAND'S own research and, in RAND's sole discretion, the research of subcontractors and through discussions and interviews with experts, RAND will review existing and emerging technologies in particular looking at:

- Options for reducing emissions in new and existing vehicles
- Emission reduction potential of alternatives
- Cost expectations of the alternatives

Deliverable: RAND published research paper on critical issues, technologies and options for reducing emissions from transportation.

EXHIBIT 99.2

SAVE THE WORLD AIR, INC. AND RAND ENTER INTO AGREEMENT TO REVIEW TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND MARKET POTENTIAL OF OUR REDUCED EMISSIONS AND FUEL SAVING DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

San Diego, December 30, 2002 (Business Wire) - Save the World Air, Inc. (NQB:ZERO) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with RAND for a review of technical aspects of our reduced emissions and fuel saving device and its market potential. RAND, a preeminent "think-tank" of highly qualified engineers, scientists and other specialized individuals, will conduct this four-month study, which is scheduled to begin in January 2003.

Under the terms of the agreement, RAND will undertake various tasks, including discussions with and, in its sole discretion, subcontracting to automotive experts to ascertain the theoretical basis and potential impact of the device and other devices on emissions, fuel use, engine and driving performance. RAND intends to review the patent information, technical and theoretical literature regarding the approach used in the device, and estimate its potential market opportunities. In addition, RAND will review and publish a research paper on existing and emerging technologies for reducing emissions in new and existing vehicles.

"We believe that positive findings from this study may provide the first steps to enable us to develop and bring the reduced emissions and fuel saving device to market," said Edward Masry, president and chief executive officer of Save the World Air. "We are very pleased that a leading research organization like RAND has chosen to conduct a review of our device."

According to RAND's website, RAND's mission is to help improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. It develops new knowledge to inform decisionmakers without suggesting any specific courses of action, identifies a range of available options and analyzes their relative advantages and disadvantages. On many other occasions, RAND finds the analysis so compelling that it advances specific policy recommendations. In all cases, it serves the public interest by widely disseminating its research findings.

Save the World Air, Inc. was created to develop, manufacture, and market devices using a proprietary technology that can be installed on motor vehicles to reduce harmful emissions, improve fuel efficiency and improve performance. Our common stock trades over the counter under the symbol ZERO. Our headquarters are in Agoura Hills, California.
