- Trane Shares Start Trading Today as 'TT' on the New York
Stock Exchange

    PISCATAWAY, N.J., Nov. 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 

    Trane makes its debut today as the new name for the
company previously known as American Standard Companies. 
Shares of Trane will trade under the symbol "TT"
on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) -- the same shares
that traded under the symbol "ASD" when the
company was known as American Standard Companies.  

    Trane is a global leader in providing high quality,
energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems, services and solutions to a broad range of
commercial and residential customers.  The business employs
more than 29,000 people worldwide and generated sales of
$6.8 billion in 2006.  Trane markets its HVAC systems,
services and solutions under two premium brands: Trane(R)
and American Standard(R).    

    "Today marks the successful completion of our
separation plan announced in February," said Chairman
and CEO Fred Poses.  "Since then, we've spun off our
vehicle control systems business and sold our bath and
kitchen business.  Our new name reflects our business focus
and our global leadership in providing integrated HVAC
systems, services and solutions." 

    Earlier this year, Trane was one of the first four
energy services companies asked to participate in the
Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), a program launched by
former President Bill Clinton to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions in 40 of the world's largest cities.  In
addition, Trane's CenTraVac(TM) chilled water system won
the "Best-of-the-Best" Award in 2007 from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for
contributions to strategic ozone protection.  During the
year, Trane also received numerous awards for residential
product design, innovation and customer service.
