Gasoline Enters School Bus Market Gasoline Registrations 1,401 registrations through Oct. 2017 Lowest acquisition cost on any fuel type upfront cost is lower compared to diesel, and propane Easy maintenance - less training needed than an alternative fuel type most technicians know how to work on both gasoline/diesel engines Cold weather startup don t need to take extra time to heat up the engine before the bus will start Performance the PSI 8.8L low engine speed design drives like a diesel, with no compromise on engine power and reliability *Gasoline registration data from Polk as of Jan 2018 State Buses State Buses NY 170 LA 14 IL 169 OH 11 MI 149 OK 11 PA 118 NL 10 TX 64 AL 9 NJ 64 MA 9 ON 63 BC 7 IA 60 MN 6 GA 59 MD 5 WI 59 KS 5 QC 55 ME 4 MB 54 MT 4 IN 49 TN 3 AB 35 FL 3 MO 29 NV 3 SK 23 NB 3 CA 22 DE 1 VA 18 NM 1 MS 16 AZ 1 CO 14 NH 1
The Future of Electric Power The future of electric powertrain will be driven by battery technology & cost/kwh Tesla s Giga Factory in Nevada once at full production in 2018 will produce more batteries then were produced worldwide in 2017
Implications of Electric Vehicles ZERO EMISSIONS No recurring investment in emissions certification Global truck, meets emissions everywhere ARCHITECTURES Fewer parts Significantly lower maintenance costs Distribution Model COMPUTER ON WHEELS SCALE BECOMES A HUGE ADVANTAGE Same investment for all regions Higher volume results in lower costs
