We study a scale invariant two measures theory where a dilaton field \phi has no explicit potentials. The scale transformations include a shift \phi\to\phi+const. The theory demonstrates a new mechanism for gene- ration of the exponential potential: in the conformal Einstein frame (CEF), after SSB of scale invariance, the theory develops the exponential potential and, in general, non-linear kinetic term is generated as well. The possibility of quintessence solutions are shown. As an example, for one choice of the parameters we obtain standard scaling solutions usually used in the context of the quintessential scenario. For other choice of the parameters, the theory allows a scaling solution with equation of state p_{\phi}=w\rho_{\phi} where w is restricted by -1
