  1. City of Guelph Transit: Emission Reduction & Mileage Improvement Program

  2. Test Protocol Overview For the past eighteen months Tadger has operated a test protocol at the City of Guelph Transit in partnership with the fleet services team there. Product testing was completed at the Guelph Transit garage facilities. All tests were conducted under the direction of Maintenance Superintendent Bill Randall. The testing involved both 2-stroke and 4-stroke diesel buses operating within the Region. Test results were documented through the Ontario drive clean program as well as with the use of an ECOM 4-gas diesel emissions analyzer. Through a concerted team approach we have established significant data to establish the effectiveness of the part on your fleet. The results have been illustrated on the attached graphs followed by a concise summary. Additional test results for other municipalities, private industry and larger fleets is available on request or at www.tadgergroup.com

Summary • Carbon Monoxide (CO) – 18% increase • (This is 4.6% better than B-20) • Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) – 10.0% reduction • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – 7.1% reduction • Opacity (Soot) – 25.6% reduction • Fuel – 6.15% improvement • Fuel - $162.48 per bus per month savings • Return on Investment (R.O.I.) – 4.3 months

  5. Proposal • Tadger group proposes that the City of Guelph Transit fleet commence conversion of their fleet as soon as possible to enhance the environment and begin fuel savings. The projected savings in 2004 for your fleet is approximately $60,000.00 • Tadger Group will arrange for the installation if required on the fleet or have our representatives present to supervise if you wish to do the work yourselves.
