1 Advanced Solutions for Meeting EPA Tier 4 Engine Emission Regulations On H HD and Reachstackers

2 market leading ECO-Technology To address the 2011 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emission standards for offhighway diesel engines, Hyster Company has developed market leading ECO-Technology and now leads the industry with Big Trucks that meet the requirements of the new regulations. TIER 4 INTERIM TIER 4 INTERIM is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions regulations for off-highway diesel engines in North America. (Stage IIIB is nearly the equivalent emissions regulations for the European Union member states.) Effective January 2011, across the 174 to 751hp ( kw) power category, the Tier 4 Interim emissions regulations requires diesel engines to reduce Particulate Matter (PM) exhaust emissions by 90 percent and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) exhaust emissions by 45 percent compared to Tier 3 standards. Beginning in 2014, EPA Tier 4 Final (and EU Stage IV) will require another major emissions reduction. While U.S. and European regulations are similar, EPA-certified trucks cannot be sold in Europe, and vice-versa. Canada legislation is uncertain due to late change in plan. THERE ARE TWO MAIN REGULATED EMISSIONS COMPONENTS FOR OFF HIGHWAY EQUIPMENT NOx: Nitrogen oxides NO and NO 2 are regulated gaseous emissions. NOx is a primary contributor to smog. Particulate Matter: PM, or particulates, includes mainly soot (carbon particles) and residues of lubricating oil; seen as smoke in exhaust. 2

3 TIER 4 ENGINE TECHNOLOGY Hyster Company worked closely with engine partner, Cummins, Inc., to develop a compliance solution while simultaneously improving and lowering the total cost of ownership. In addition to picking the best long-term solution engine technology, Hyster developed a number of customer value-added features. The three-part Hyster solution includes: 1. Cummins cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) exhaust after treatment system technology 2. Right-sized engines to reduce total cost of ownership while continuing to deliver high performance 3. Hyster intelligent design to further reduce fuel consumption through performance optimization techniques such as ECO-mode, idle management and cooling on-demand applications All Tier 4 engines will require ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel and low-ash lubricating oils to function properly.

4 Hyster Tier 4 emissions solution To maximize customer value and benefit, Hyster and Cummins developed an innovative, proprietary design that utilizes a Cummins cooled EGR with DPF engine solution combined with Hyster innovation. The DPF collects and then oxidizes Particulate Matter (PM) by passive or active regeneration. Advanced electronic control of the process is used to ensure effective PM removal in all engine duty cycles. The cost of achieving compliance with the cooled EGR and DPF solution can be offset by lower overall operating costs in the Hyster solution. With improved engine response, operators can also expect improved equipment productivity together with the benefit of cleaner, quieter operation and reduced fuel costs. Advantages of EGR The Hyster EGR solution provides greater overall cost savings when compared to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology and its Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) costs. SCR solutions require refilling of an on-board DEF tank. EGR does not require urea fluid to meet emissions or save fuel. The unique Hyster system offers simple technology, fuel savings and the best total cost of ownership compared to alternative market technologies. RIGHT SIZING TO REDUCE COST AND IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY In many cases, the new Hyster Tier 4 Interim compliant engines were right sized to be smaller with increased power and responsiveness. The right-sized engines demonstrated up to 15 percent reduction in fuel consumption during extensive testing compared to Tier 3 depending on rating and duty cycle, and had lower noise levels. 4 SYSTEM INTEGRATION Hyster Company teamed with Cummins in designing the cooled EGR with DPF as an integrated engine system. Cummins has access to all the key enabling technologies within their design and manufacturing resources, including after treatment, fuel systems, filters, electronic control and turbo charging. Cummins introduced on-highway engines certified to EPA standards in North America in 2007 using cooled EGR with DPF technology.

5 HOW THE COOLED EGR SYSTEM WORKS The Hyster solution utilizes cooled EGR to effectively control NOx emissions by re-circulating a varying proportion of the exhaust gas back to the cylinder. This process reduces oxygen content, which lowers combustion temperature, resulting in a reduction of NOx formation. The Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) design combines the benefit of both a small and large turbocharger in a single unit, enabling Hyster Tier 4 Interim engines to achieve significantly improved response compared to a Tier 3 engine, as demonstrated in customer field tests. The VGT is a key technology asset in not only meeting emissions but also increasing engine performance and improving fuel efficiency. DPF EXHAUST AFTER TREATMENT SYSTEM The DPF replaces the Tier 3 muffler and provides equivalent or better sound reduction. The DPF system consists of four sections: an inlet, a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), a particulate filter and an outlet. Exhaust flows out of the engine and into the DPF. It passes through the DOC and then into the particulate filter where PM is collected on the walls of the DPF. The collected carbon is then oxidized to remove it from the DPF in a process known as regeneration. Regeneration is the process of cleaning the particulate filter by way of burning off soot and other PM that have accumulated in the filter during operation, thereby restoring the filter s capacity. There are three forms of regeneration: 1. Passive Regeneration 2. Active Regeneration 3. Stationary (Parked) Regeneration 5

6 Hyster Tier 4 emissions solution INTELLIGENT DESIGN The ECO-eLo function, together with the use of cooling on demand, auto-speed hydraulics and idle management, reduce overall operating costs. ECO MODES Hyster introduced selectable operating modes so that trucks can be tailored to perform at optimum efficiency levels according to application demands. A key switch, located in the operator compartment, enables supervisors or service engineers to select either ECO-eLo Fuel Efficiency or HiP High Performance mode. The elo mode offers very good performance by reducing maximum engine speed to lower engine rpm and retunes the engine response. The HiP, or high-performance mode, is the truck s normal operating mode that offers excellent fuel economy. IDLE MANAGEMENT ECO modes idle management incorporates an innovative hibernate mode into Hyster Tier 4 Interim Trucks. When there is no demand for engine or hydraulic control for more than 30 seconds, the engine goes into hibernate mode, which lowers engine rpm and reduces fuel usage and emissions by 20 to 30 percent. Another design addition is the empty seat engine shutdown option. This option, with an adjustable time delay, shuts the engine down a few minutes after the operator leaves the seat of the truck. The results are reduced emissions as well as fuel and money savings. TRUCK SYSTEMS The on-demand engine cooling system is designed so that the cooling fan will provide only the level of engine cooling required. As the fan will usually be running slower, noise levels are reduced and less fuel is consumed. Next, Hyster developed selectable hydraulic performance modes to match the hydraulic responsiveness to the application requirement. Finally, Hyster developed auto rev-up, which increases engine speed when the truck s hydraulics are activated. 6
