Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure

On March 10, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the events described in Item 8.01 below. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference. The press release and the information in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 Item 8.01     Other Events

On March 8, 2011, the Board of Directors of GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) determined, based on the magnitude of historical operating losses associated with the Company’s Green Tech Products, Inc. molded recycled rubber product subsidiary, that it is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders to exit that business. The Company will instead devote all of its resources to advancing its dual fuel conversion initiative, operated by its American Power Group, Inc. subsidiary. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has authorized management to begin an immediate effort to identify potential buyers for Green Tech Products and to evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. Effective as of March 8, 2011, Green Tech Products operations have been classified as discontinue operations.
