Why NGVs? Why Now?

 Customers seeking alternatives  Very favorable economics  Domestic resource  Abundant supply  Cleanest hydrocarbon fuel

What is Natural Gas?

 >90% methane - CH4 (+ inert gases, butane, propane, ethane)  Lowest carbon, hydrocarbon available  Lighter than air  Same fuel that is used to cook food, heat homes, dry clothes, and heat water  Ignition temperature 1080oF  Low lubricity  Source of most industrial hydrogen  Measured Octane = 130

Natural Gas Costs Less

 Natural gas and petroleum prices have diverged since 2008

 New horizontal drilling technology has unlocked shale reserves

 Operating cost savings

 Nationwide, CNG costs less per BTU than gasoline and every

  • ther fuel in the U.S.

 Lifecycle cost savings

 Despite vehicle price premium  Cost of ownership =

 Price – Incentives – Fuel Savings – Residual Value

Fuel Cost Comparison

 Retail Cost Comparison

Nationwide Average Price per Gallon (GGE) BTU (LHV) per Gallon (GGE) Cost per 10,000 BTU Gasoline Reg. E10 $3.52 112,000 $0.31 Diesel #2 $3.75 129,500 $0.29 CNG $2.05* 114,000 $0.18 Propane $2.64* 83,400 $0.32 Ethanol E85 $3.24 81,800 $0.40 Biodiesel (B100) $4.23 118,300 $0.36 Biodiesel (B20) $3.83 127,250 $0.30

Natural Gas Price Stability

 1MM BTU of natural gas = energy content of 8.7 gallons of gasoline*  Changes in natural gas prices have a much smaller effect at the pump, when compared to changes in the price of crude oil on gasoline and diesel

* Calculated at lower heating value (LHV) of 114,000 BTU per gge

Westport Natural Gas Engine Technologies

Spark-Ignited Dual-Fuel (fumagation) High Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) How it works

 Fuel and air pre-mixed at low pressure on compression stroke  Ignition from spark plug  lower compression ratio to avoid knock (vs. compression ignition diesel)  Bi-fuel (automotive) or dedicated (CWI)  Simple EGR and catalyst after treatment  Nat. gas and air pre-mixed at low pressure on compression stroke  Compression ignition with high pressure diesel injection  Diesel/gas mixture adjusted based

  • n knock sensor (50% – 60% max.

substitution)  Can revert to diesel fuel only  Air - only on compression stroke  High pressure nat. gas injected directly into combustion chamber  Compression ignition from high pressure direct injection diesel pilot  95-99% substitution with full torque/power and efficiency of compression ignition diesel
