4 Why Natural Gas Refuse Trucks? Natural Gas is: Cheaper Cleaner Domestic WORKS!! Natural Gas Refuse Trucks: Provide significant NO x and PM reductions Provide significant noise reductions up to 80% reductions Displace imported oil on a gallon for gallon basis Replacing a diesel garbage truck with one that operates on natural gas has the same emissions benefits as taking 325 cars off the road per year 4

5 Why Natural Gas Refuse Trucks? Provide high visibility and positive recognition Refuse is highly visible way to show the general public that their tax dollar is being spent wisely Natural gas engines are proven in the refuse application Over 3,000 natural gas refuse trucks in operation In 2007, natural gas engines from Cummins Westport already met the 2010 requirements 5

6 Proven Technology- Cummins Westport ISL G 2007 ISL G met the 2010 emissions standards ahead of schedule Diesel-like performance 34% more torque at idle than 2006 L Gas Plus Improved fuel economy Maintenance Free Exhaust System No Particulate Traps, Filters, or Urea Fuel Additive Engine Available in Multiple Chassis Front, side, and rear load Refuse Truck Manufacturers offering ISL G Autocar Mack Crane Carrier Peterbilt 6

9 Fuel Price History: Lets Not Forget!! Natural gas has been 25-61% cheaper than Diesel over last 10 years 9

10 Federal Tax Credits President s s Energy Bill Tax Credits Effective January 1, 2006 Allows for up to 80% of incremental cost of dedicated natural gas vehicle based on vehicle s GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) GVWR < 8,500 lbs= $14,000 ($4,000 up to 80%) Honda Civic, Ford Crown Victoria, Chevy Astro, GM SUVs GVWR 8,500-14,000 lbs= $16,000 ($8,000 up to 80%) Ford F-150, 250, 350 Sierra/Silverado pickup, Express/E350 van GVWR 14,000-26,000 lbs= $20,000 (80% = $16,000) Ford E450 or GM 8.1L shuttle bus GVWR > 26,000 lbs= $40,000 (80% = $32,000) Dump Truck, Refuse Truck, Transit Bus, Street Sweeper 10

11 Federal Stimulus Package Up to 100% of the incremental cost of every CNG vehicle Up to 100% of the cost of the CNG station Up to 100% of the cost for garage modifications (methane detectors and venting) Minimum funding request per project is 5 million dollars Maximum funding request per project is 15 million dollars You can combine more than one project in each state to reach the minimum funding request of 5 million dollars 11

12 Large, Secure, Domestically Available Supply of NG Natural Gas 98% Supplied From US and Canada Imported 80+ Years of Domestic Reserves (30-40 Years Longer Than Oil) * World NG Reserves Estimated at 3x that of Oil Reduces Dependence on Foreign Oil 4% of Existing Supply will fuel 11 Million autos 20% of today s use is for Power Generation Could fuel 55 Million autos Bio-Methane available from Landfills, Agriculture & Wastewater *Based on Current Rate of Consumption Sources: EIA 2006, Clean Energy 12

13 What s in it for Refuse Fleets? Affordable, Cost Effective, Stable Fuel Supply Put Dollars back in the Budget 2010 EPA Certified Trucks Today Avoid Additional Cost Increase from Diesel Units and Fuel Cleaner, Quieter, Healthier City s/town s Significantly Reduce Fleet Greenhouse Gas Emissions Eliminate Refuse Trucks Dependence on Foreign Oil American Trucks Running on American Fuel Notoriety and Improved Green Image Ability to Offer a Superior Alternative to your tax payers 13
