  1. Vision Industries Corp. • April 21, 2009

  2. Presentation Outline • The problem • The Ports Program • Vision Industries Solution • Vehicle Solutions • Vision Industries Fueling Strategy • Future Applications • Appendix

  3. The problem • up to 2,800 premature deaths per year attributed to diesel particulate emissions emanating from the Ports. • Intense political pressure to clean up the Ports’ emissions. • Expansion and growth of the Ports are blocked until methods to reduce emissions are implemented.

  4. The Port Solution • PORT OF LOS ANGELES HARBOR COMMISSIONERS FOLLOW LONG BEACH COMMISSION VOTE AND APPROVE CLEAN TRUCKS FEE • The Los Angeles Harbor Commission has approved a measure that will place a $35 charge on every loaded twenty foot equivalent (TEU) cargo container entering or leaving the Port of Los Angeles cargo terminals by short-haul (or “drayage”) trucks beginning June 1, 2008. The nation’s two largest container ports will use the proceeds to fund a $2 billion Clean Trucks Program -- $1.6 billion generated by the Clean Trucks Fee and an additional $400 million in anticipated grant funding from the state of California -- initiative that will replace or retrofit the existing fleet of trucks that serve the San Pedro Bay Ports over the next five years – reducing port related truck emissions 80 percent. • All funds collected by the two ports would be used for the replacement of about 16,800 trucks by2012 with clean diesel trucks, or trucks fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) or other approved technologies that can achieve the 2007 standard adopted in the ports’ Clean Air Action Plan. • Up to 80% of the new truck purchase price will be paid by the fund

  5. Vision Industries Solution • 2009 Freightliner Tyrano • Plug-in electric heavy duty class 8 truck with Hydrogen fuel cells for on board electricity generation • Regenerative breaking • Zero emission • 5 miles/lbs consumption • Purchase price $250,000 ./. CARB $ 50,000 ./. port program up to $150,000 ./. Federal tax credit $ 40,000 NET COST $ 10,000

  6. Alternative Vehicle Solutions

  7. Vision Industries Fueling Solution • The 16,800 trucks operate within what is locally known as the “Golden Horseshoe”. This refers to the geographic area within 50 miles of the Ports of Long Beach and LA. The trucks return to the Ports several times per day so the optimal fueling location is at 3 strategic locations within the ports. • Vision Industries is in the process of securing what we believe to be the premier fueling locations. • Pricing ..... • Hydrogen is produced by Air Products right in the Ports!

  8. Attractiveness of transaction to Ports: • Benefits of Hydrogen as a Zero Emissions Fuel - If the entire short haul fleet converts from 2007 Clean Diesel standards to Hydrogen, annual: - Particulate emissions would be reduced by 415,000 pounds! - Hydrocarbon emissions would be reduced by 5,800,000 pounds! - Nox emissions would be reduced by almost 50,000,000 pounds! - CO2 emissions would be reduced by a minimum of 3,500,000 tons! - The entire fleet can be refueled from 3 stations within the Port. • Ports would be the first to implement “zero emission” transportation solution. • Ports can set the worldwide standard for an environmentally friendly port operation.

  9. Hydrogen usage at Ports

  10. Why hydrogen? • Offers several benefits over Diesel and Natural Gas • Cheaper per mile • ZERO greenhouse gas emissions • No noise pollution • Increase of Torque • Domestic and secure energy source • Renewable and non-depleting • Can be made from a wide variety of resources • OEM adoption • All major OEMs will offer hydrogen powered vehicles by 2010 • State and federal support available

  11. ‘Vision 2010’ for California • “I am going to encourage the building of a Hydrogen Highway to take us to the environmental future… I intend to show the world that economic growth and environment can coexist, and if you want to see it, then come to California.” • Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger • State of the State Address, January 6, 2004 • ‘Vision 2010’ • Ensure that by the end of the decade, every Californian has access to hydrogen fuel along the state’s major highways. • A significant and increasing percentage of that hydrogen is to be produced from clean renewable sources. • Requires 170 hydrogen refueling stations by 2010 and 2,000 by 2015.

  12. Vision Motor Components • Hydrogen Companies • Air Products • Fuel Cell Companies • Hydrogenics, Ballard & Nuvera • Electric Motors • Siemens & Cal Motors • Truck Companies • Freightliner & Autocar • Others • Lincoln Composites, Swagelok, HyPower....

  13. Performance goes green • 2009 Tyrano Freightliner

  14. Garbage Collection goes green • Vision Industries Zero Emission Refuse Truck

  15. Performance goes green • Vision Industries’ 2009 Cheetah • 0-60 in 3.3 sec., ZERO emissions!

  16. Appendix • The following are related informational slides

  17. Hydrogen is more cost effective than Diesel • – As a result of technological breakthroughs, we have passed and inflection point at which hydrogen is cheaper per mile than diesel as a transportation fuel • – Fuel cell technology promises 100% efficiency gain over • diesel-based combustion engines • • Each Pound of hydrogen gets you as far as 1 gallon of diesel. • – Hydrogen costs are expected to stabilize at $1.50 to $2.75 per lb (they currently range from $0.90 lb in Santa Monica to $4.09 lb in Palm Springs)

  18. Hydrogen is more cost-effective than diesel • As a result of technological breakthroughs, we are at an inflection point where hydrogen is now cheaper per mile than diesel as a transportation fuel. • One pound of hydrogen gets you as far as one gallon of diesel.

  19. Attractiveness of transaction to truck owners and operators: • Purchasing Hydrogen Powered Trucks - Ports Commission pays up to 80% of cost, - Federal tax credit of $40,000 - Zero down, 100% financing available • Operating Hydrogen Powered Trucks - $0.32 of fuel per mile versus $0.48 diesel and $0.68 in LNG - Double the power and performance of diesel or LNG truck - No exhaust - Very quiet operation - Regenerative braking allows use of “Jake Brake” within city limits - No oil changes

  20. Vision Industries – current status • Vision Industries has perfected its proprietary Hydrogen drive system. The 1st generation has been installed in a Hummer H2 and is available for test drives. • The 2nd generation Hydrogen drive system is installed in the 2009 Freightliner Tyrano.
