2. Outline The 915 Family of Vehicles New Technologies Permo-Drive RDS Questions

3. The 915 FOV Why this vehicle? 6 mpg Cruising 917 Dump Truck Stop and Go Drive Cycle

4. New Technologies Electronic Braking System (EBS) Air Dryer LED Headlights/Taillights Steerable Rear Axles Exhaust Vibration Balancer

5. EBS Uses electronics to control braking system Reduces number of components Detects brake wear Shortens stopping distance

6. Air Dryer Protects braking system from moisture and contamination Weighs 11 pounds Water absorption High reliability

7. LED Low heat, High efficiency Vibration sensitivity Multi-Color capability Covert communication Used on ST II

8. All Steer Improves maneuverability Automated, user operated Improves turning radius by 30%

9. Exhaust Vibration Balancer Balances vibration, torque and road shock Reduces fuel consumption Reduces failure Increases durability

10. Operation

11. Key Components Axial Piston/Pump Regenerative Drive System Accumulator(s) Oil Reservoir Piping/Plumbing Electronics and Wiring

13. 40 5 10 15 20 25 Time (Seconds) FMTV: Dash Comparison at GVM (33,686lbs) Engine Only RDS Speed (MPH) 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0

14. Continuous Drive Shaft Operating Pressure 5000psi Digitally Controlled Inline Design Retrofitable Class VI Regenerative Drive System

15. Why Hydraulic? High Power Density High Energy Flow – Not Temperature or Chemically Limited Efficient Charging & Discharging Reliable Performance Over a Wide Range of Operating & Climatic Conditions Minimal Routine Maintenance

16. Why Hydraulic? Readily Available Spare Parts Robust Components Mature Technology Hoses Filters Oil Fittings Excellent ROI Retrofitable

17. Braking Through the Barriers Introducing Regenerative Drive System Class VI

18. Braking Through the Barriers Target Weight: 330lbs Power: 340Hp Torque: 995lb/ft Size (L x W x H): 18” x 9½” x 12” Prototype Availability: 4 th Qtr 2003 Production Availability: 2 nd Qtr 2005 Class VI Regenerative Drive System PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS:

19. Braking Through the Barriers Summary Simple Design & Installation Robust Performance Available Technology Better Fuel Economy Reduced Maintenance Lower Emissions Substantial ROI Retrofitable
