  1. The global leader in natural gas engines. Natural Gas Engines WEMCO

  2. Why NGVs? Why Now?  Customers seeking alternatives  Very favorable economics  Domestic resource  Abundant supply  Cleanest hydrocarbon fuel

  3. What is Natural Gas?  >90% methane - CH 4 (+ 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 1080 o F  Low lubricity  Source of most industrial hydrogen  Measured Octane = 130

  4. 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 other fuel in the U.S.  Lifecycle cost savings  Despite vehicle price premium  Cost of ownership =  Price – Incentives – Fuel Savings – Residual Value

  5. Since 2009 Natural Gas Has Declined - Gasoline Has Risen O Feb. 2013 O Feb. 2013

  6. Fuel Cost Comparison  Retail Cost Comparison Nationwide Price per Gallon BTU (LHV) per Cost per 10,000 Average (GGE) Gallon (GGE) 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 * Does not include the effect of the 2013 $.50 reduction in Federal excise tax Clean Cities Alternative Fuel Report July 2012

  7. 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 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration
