Communities notice the natural gas noise advantage. ONE Diesel engine idling is louder than TEN natural gas engines idling together ISL G is 5.5 decibels quieter at peak torque and load ISL G is 9.9 decibels quieter at Idle/no load June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc

12 Fuel and Fuel Systems Cummins Westport natural gas engines fuel requirements enable the use of both CNG or LNG. Customers may choose CNG or LNG depending on duty cycle, application, and/or fuel availability. Natural gas fuel (CNG or LNG) must meet fuel quality requirements. The minimum Methane Number is MN75 A fuel quality calculator is available on the Cummins Westport website Regardless of how the fuel is stored on the vehicle, the engine fuel inlet pressure requirement is the same ISB6.7 G and ISL G - minimum 70 psi, maximum 150 psi ISX12 G – minimum 60 psi, maximum 150 psi June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc

24 ISB6.7 G - Environment Low Emissions Engine will be certified at CARB Optional Low NOx 0.10 g/bhp-hr. – 50% lower than EPA standard 0.2 0.00 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.10 0.12 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 NOx (g/bhp-hr) PM (g/bhp-hr) 1998 2002 2007 2010 1994 EPA Emission Standards: NOx and PM June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc

25 Near Zero Emissions

26 Why Lower NOx Emissions?
High temperature engine combustion produces NOx Via complex reaction with sunlight NOx leads to NO2 This Conversion leads to ground level ozone formation Reactive hydrocarbons can speed the conversion process Natural Gas hydrocarbons are less reactive then diesel In most urban areas lower engine related NOx will reduce ground level ozone June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc

27 California NOx Improvement.
California’s poor PM and Ozone air quality is pushing government to take significant steps for NOx improvement Fund technology development and demonstration Offer end-user incentives to offset incremental vehicle costs, customers will request product! Cummins Westport Inc June 2016

28 How California (ARB) Plans to Get There
Already a 98% NOx reduction with current standards comparing 1985 to 2010 EPA Now ARB has established three optional low NOx emissions standards 0.02 g ~ “Near Zero” NOx emissions, 90% reduction in NOx from current (2010) standards 0.2 g/bhp-hr Current NOx standard 0.1 g/bhp-hr ARB optional low NOx standards 0.05 g/bhp-hr 0.02 g/bhp-hr ARB has defined this certified Near Zero emission level as equivalent to a 100% battery truck using electricity from a modern combined cycle natural gas power plant. “Near Zero” Cummins Westport Inc June 2016

29 Near Zero Emissions Natural Gas Engine
CWI has been working on a project supported by the SCAQMD, CEC & SoCal Gas to develop technology that would reduce NOx emissions to below the 0.02 g/bhp-hr “Near Zero” level In 2014, CWI completed laboratory-based R&D, using prototype hardware, testing the ISL G for near zero emissions while maintaining current architecture 2015 work included Component and engine design for high volume manufacture Extensive component / system validation to demonstrate performance, reliability and durability, including field testing in California Emissions certification 2016 Production begins Emissions Criteria Reduction Near Zero Particulate Matter (PM) ↓ 80% below EPA standards Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) ↓ 90% below EPA standards Engine related Methane (CH4) ↓ 70% reduction (crankcase and tailpipe) Greenhouse Gases (CO2 equivalent) ↓ 9% reduction (technology pathway for further reduction in 2019/2020) June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc

30 Emissions Reduction Impact - NOx
2009 2010 = 12.5 2016 = 125 250 2009 2010 2016 ISL G NZ NOx (g/hp-hr) 2.5 0.2 0.02 PM (g/hp-hr) 0.05 0.01 0.01 Pre 2010 EPA emissions levels were at 2.5 NOx (g/hp-hr) Replacing that pre 2010 engine with a 2010 EPA certified engine (NOx is 0.2 gm/bhp-hr.) it would take certified engines to match the NOx output of one 2.5 NOx engine. = 12.5 to 1 ratio The new ISL G Near Zero emissions product is certified with CARB and EPA at 0.02 (g/bhp-hr.) – 90% lower than a 2010 certified engine… so 125 ISL G NZ would match the NOx of one pre 2009 engine = 125 to 1 ratio. If you look at the actual test emission NOx at 0.01 gm/bhp-hr. that it would take 250 NZ engines to match the NOx of a pre 2009 certified engine. = 250 to 1 ratio How fast do you want to get to Zero? How many 10 year old trucks and buses are operating today? Cummins Westport Inc June 2016

31 Greenhouse Gas Greenhouse gases are essential to maintaining the temperature of the Earth as they reduce the loss of heat into space and help control global temperatures through the greenhouse effect Increased emissions of greenhouse gases can cause global warming. Carbon Emissions are gaining in importance by government and industry Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and three groups of fluorinated gases (sulfur hexafluoride HFCs, and PFCs) are the major greenhouse gases. Natural gas is a low carbon fuel. From GREET1_2015 CNG LNG Diesel Gasoline Fuel Carbon Content per Unit of Energy (gCO2/MJ) 56.3 56.5 74.9 72.7 CNG compared to Petroleum 25% lower 22 % lower June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc

32 Greenhouse Gas Reduction
Emissions Criteria Reduction From Base ISL G Engine related Methane (CH4) ↓ 70% reduction (crankcase and tailpipe) Greenhouse Gases (CO2 equivalent) ↓ 11% reduction (technology pathway for further reduction in 2019/2020) Potential further GHG reductions to near zero levels when used with renewable natural gas (RNG) June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc

33 Use Renewable Natural Gas
The use of renewable natural gas as a fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions Biogas is a mixture of methane and other gases produced from the natural decomposition of organic materials in landfills, composting or agriculture. Purifying biogas to “pipeline quality” produces Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) or biomethane that is a pipeline-quality natural gas substitute. Converting the methane that leaks from landfills or other sources to biomethane fuel has significant greenhouse gas emissions reduction benefits. In addition, there's a 100% displacement of fossil fuels as RNG is a renewable resource. Biogas based fuel (RNG) improves GHG reduction When renewable natural gas is burned the carbon dioxide emissions from combustion are not included in the analysis since the carbon in the fuel was extracted from the air when the original biomass was produced. It is the organic material that decomposes to produce RNG in the landfill or the anaerobic digester. There are still some fuel emissions from the use of RNG since unburned methane and nitrous oxide emissions are still counted in the bioenergy systems. Cummins Westport Inc June 2016

34 Base ISL G engine design is the same
Engine will be factory built at Cummins Rocky Mount Engine Plant Ratings, warranty and operational / maintenance procedures will be the same No change in technician service certification requirements Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) will be added to engine CCV system reduces engine related methane emissions by 70% CCV filter change required at 2,000 hours Three Way Catalyst will change to meet next level emissions Remains maintenance free Larger size catalyst with addition sensor added New substrate composition for durability and emission performance June 2016 Cummins Westport Inc
