Zero emission logistics with hydrogen heavy duty trucks Presentation at the A3PS Conference 2017 Applied Advanced Propulsion Systems Rolf Huber, Chairman, H 2 Energy AG, Zürich-Glattbrugg Vienna, November 10 th, 2017 Page 1
Decarbonization is a worldwide initiative and will happen Actual and planned greenhouse gas emissions for transportation segment In MtCO 2 Emissions 2010, act. Emissions 2050, plan Germany 38 183-80% France 26 148-83% Italy 42 118-64% Average projected greenhouse gas savings of more than 77% by 2050 UK 21 120-82% World-wide initiative Primary focus on heavy consumers necessary Japan 41 226-82% Are these objectives realistic? Implementation plan? Canada 10 198-95% Mexico 77 158-51% Source: DDPP, Pathways to deep decarbonization for several countries, 2015 reports Page 2
Trucks and buses emitting more CO 2 than cars Example USA US greenhouse gas emissions per unit and transportation category In tco 2 per unit/vehicle US split of CO 2 emission by transportation category In MtCO 2 Diff. 1990 vs. 2015 Aircrafts 740.9 100%=1 769 MtCO 2 Med.- and HDtrucks Buses Light-Duty Trucks Passenger Cars 6.1 4.0 22.3 37.0 Passenger cars Trucks & Buses 42.9% 43.0% +15% +32% Replacing fossils for aircrafts is a challenge Second biggest categories to focus on are trucks and buses Tesla will not safe the planet: trucks & buses account for an equivalent amount of CO 2 emissions Ships and Boats 2.8 Motorcycles 0.4 Aircrafts Others 9.1% 5.1% -15% Source: US Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, EPA-420-F-17-013, July 2017-5% Page 3
Hydrogen is only viable non fossil alternative for long-haul trucks Current drive-trains Fuel Fossil Diesel Internal comb. engine Propane Natural gas, methanol BioDiesel (never 100%) Availability Quality Renewable fuels Synthetic gas Cost Drive-trains/ engines w/o Plug-in Synthetic fuel Cost Hybrid with Plug-in Battery Payload Electric engine Hydrogen Only renewable alternative for long-haul truck operators Page 4
Payload of only one ton for 400km battery electric truck Calculation Coop H2 truck Weight calculation for 18/19 ton heavy duty rigid vehicle with standard platform and drive train In Percent 100%=19to 100%=19to 100%=18to Payload 6% Battery/ fuel cell system Engine/gear drive 34% 32% 8% 3% 3% 36% Chassis/platform 57% 57% 60% 4% On May 7, 2017 federal council of Switzerland allows one additional ton of payload for electrified trucks Without this decision the battery truck would have zero payload left Hydrogen with comparable payload Battery Hydrogen Diesel Page 5
Despite improvement of gravimetric weight for cells total weight of battery pack not reduced sufficiently Battery weight per watt hour Development since 2010, in percent (starting point approx. 100Wh/Kg) Battery packs Battery cells 100 75 50 25 Main reasons for additional weight of battery packs: Cooling Holder Controlling & monitoring systems etc. 0 2010 2012 2014 2016 Quelle: emvalley.com Page 6
No serial OEM production of H2 trucks, despite the fact hydrogen being the only solution for decarbonizing trucks Truck OEMs Brands Inhouse fuel cell technology Perceived interest in hydrogen (status 2017) Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, DU Trucks, Renault Trucks Not available High Mercedes-Benz, Sterling Trucks, Western Star, Freightliner Trucks, Unimog, Mitsubishi Fuso Available Unclear Dongfeng (JVs mit Kia, Honda, Nissan) Not available Very high Scania, MAN, Volkswagen Not available Unclear Iveco Not available Very high Tata, Daewoo Not available Very high Page 7
World wide innovation: Coop 34t truck with trailer Potential to fully substitute diesel drive trains Fuel cell system 100kW H2 dispenser 350 bar high flow Left to cabin Chassis MAN TGS H2 refilling system 7 x 4.93 = 34.5 kgh2 gross è pay load 31 kg H2 Electric engine Synchronic engine 250KW constant, Allison 4 gear automatic Electric plug-in Left side, 2 x 22kW charging performance, plug: 63A, 400VAC, only on weekends Battery Total 120kWh (2x60 kwh), left and right in front of back axes Cooling system Underneath, right, electric supply of trailer cooling system Composition Load volume: 30 transport units (normally 33) Page 8
Coop hydrogen system closing the energy cycle Hydrogen Coop trucks convert hydrogen into electricity and water vapor; on board electricity then feeds electric engine; water vapor transitions into rain and feeds the run-of-the-river-plant Run-of-the-river-plant delivers renewable energy Coop hydrogen refueling station offers hydrogen to it s customers H 2 Energy s electrolyzer transforms water and renewable energy into hydrogen H 2 Energy s hydrogen trailer stores and delivers hydrogen Page 9

Key findings Hydrogen technology works, is safe and ready Fuel cell technology underrated (especially for trucks & buses) Compared with passenger cars, trucks and buses produce equivalent or even higher amounts of CO 2 Coop truck able to fully replace diesel trucks with no restrictions on payload, range, refueling time and external energy consumption (cooling, etc.) Truck OEM s needed to make chance happen, extremely high interest from Asian truck OEM s for hydrogen Further advantages of technology Fuel cell trucks boosting H2 infrastructure for passenger cars Hydrogen could help boosting image for truck industry Page 11
