  1. Natural Gas Vehicles Clean, Cost Effective Strategies Jimmy RamseyJanuary, 2007

  2. Company Background • Largest provider of vehicular natural gas (CNG and LNG) in North America • Over 160 fueling stations across U.S. and Canada • Fuel over 2,000 transit buses daily • Airports, Municipal, Ports & Refuse • 2005 volume: • 56+ million gallons • 26% increase over 2004 • For 2006: • Continued growth! • 69+ million gallons

  3. Why Natural Gas? Cleanest available fuel on the market today • Domestic Fuel • Emissions vs. gasoline/diesel • lower NOx (forms smog) • lower Particulate Matter (black smoke) • lower Carbon Monoxide • lower greenhouse gas emissions • Economics Less expensive than gasoline or diesel • Noise • Significant reduction in noise • Up to 80% decibel drop

  4. Energy Supply Outlook – Has Oil Peaked? OIL DEMAND grows each year in a healthy world economy • PRICES INCREASE • SHORTAGES DEVELOP Supply cannot meet demand PRODUCTION reaches a maximum & then declines (PEAKS) Time

  5. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Basics • Same fuel used to cook in your home • Drawn from pipeline and compressed • Dispensed in fast-fill system DFW Airport Dispenser Foothill Transit Irwindale

  6. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) basics • Created by cooling NG to -260F • 600 times denser than CNG • Allows more fuel to be stored per equivalent volume Cooling Tower at Pickens LNG Plant 10,000 Gallon LNG Tanker

  7. LNG Infrastructure • Diesel-like fueling at 40-50 gpm • 100% fast fill • Local fuel supply • Fuel stored in above ground cryogenic “thermos” tanks AnaheimDisposal(RepublicIndustries) ElPaso’sSunMetroL/CNGStation

  8. Tax Credits Available Jan. 1, 2006 The President’s Energy Bill Allows for tax credit of up to 80% of incremental cost of dedicated natural gas vehicle based on vehicle’s GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) • GVWR < 8,500 lbs= $5,000 (80% = $4,000) • Honda Civic, Ford Crown Victoria, Chevy Astro, GM SUVs • GVWR 8,500-14,000 lbs= $10,000 (80% = $8,000) • Sierra/Silverado pickup, Express/E350 van • GVWR 14,000-26,000 lbs= $25,000 (80% = $20,000) • Ford E450 or GM 8.1L shuttle bus • GVWR > 26,000 lbs= $40,000 (80% = $32,000) • Beverage Truck, Refuse Truck, Street Sweeper, Transit Bus

  9. Transit • High fuel-use fleet • High profile fleet • Hub and spoke fleet • FTA money spent wisely for domestically produced fuel • Meet 2010 emission standards in 2007 • Replacing a diesel transit bus with a natural gas powered bus has the same emissions reduction as removing 325 passenger cars off the road per year Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport RCC CNG station

  10. Airports • Shuttles • Hotel • Rental Car • Employee • Taxis • Shared Ride • Patrol LAX Airport CNG station Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport RCC CNG station Dallas Love Field CNG station

  11. Natural Gas Showcase of Refuse & Recycling • City of Dallas: 1 • City of Lake Jackson: 8 • City of Austin: 15 (on order) • Waste Management: 500+ • Republic Services: 120+ • City of Santa Monica: 20 • City of San Diego: 77 • City of Fresno: 70 • 2,500+ operating in U.S. City of Dallas Natural Gas Refuse Truck Waste Management, Palm Desert

  12. Heavy Duty Engine Options • Cummins Westport • B Gas+, C Gas+, L Gas+ • 5.9L & 8.9L • 230-320 HP • Range from 500-1000 lb/ ft torque • Meet 2007 & 2010 Emissions Standards • John Deere 8.1L and 9.0L • 250-320 HP • Up to 1050 lb/ ft torque • 2010 Emissions Standards L Gas Plus 8.1 Liter 9.0 Liter

  15. Natural Gas Transit • Dallas Area Rapid Transit • 183 LNG buses (25% of fleet) • Light Duty CNG fleet • DFW Airport • 5,000 gal/day • Fort Worth T • 200+ buses in fleet • 100% CNG Fleet DFW Airport CNG Station

  16. Sun Metro Transit– El Paso, TX • 180 buses in fleet • 35 LNG bus (20% of fleet) • 90 CNG (50% of fleet of buses, shuttles & trolleys) • 350,000 gallons/month

  17. Natural Gas Benefits • Minimize fuel, vehicle, and O&M costs • Abundant, Clean, and Domestic • Less expensive than diesel • Fixed price fueling contracts • Convenient and reliable fueling location • Positive Public Image with high profile vehicles

  18. The Real Alternative Fuel Cost Comparison • Efficiency loss using ethanol compared to gasoline the actual price is $5.14
