Iveco Global Profitable Growth Leading Technology & Reliable Performance Quality Excellence of Products and Services Strengthen global market presence, principally Heavy Duty Iveco Motors as a world top diesel engine manufacturer Enhance Dealership and Market Image Leading technology and reliable performance of our products by quality excellence both for products and services. Strengthening our global market presence, especially in Asia Pacific and South America. Regarding engines, we are already one of the major players in the world. The new regulations will be more and more challenging and this will help us to keep this growing leading position by exploiting our technological excellence. Very important for us will be to keep enhancing our dealership and our market image.

Correlation GDP/Transport in Regional Areas 7% CHINA & INDIA BRAZIL 5% AVG GDP GROWTH RATE USA EU 2% The reason why we are strongly investing in the Asian market is clear and it is shown in the slide. If we compare the correlation between GDP growth rate and growth rate of transport in mature and emerging countries, we get two pictures entirely different from each other. As shown in the slide, EU and US have a correlation factor close to 1, that means that for each point in GDP growth we have 1 point in transport growth. Conversely, in countries like China, India or Brazil transport is growing at a faster pace than GDP. In summary, the logistics business is expected to grow significantly in the coming years at the global level, and the Asian road transport market will be on top of the list worldwide as far as expansion pace and volumes (in absolute value). 2% 6% 10% 14% AVG GROWTH RATE OF TRANSPORT (TKM) Estimate CSST, Universitè de Paris

Industry Competitiveness and Logistics Tipically, industries struggle their way up to cost-effectiveness through improving: MANUFACTURING PROCESSES Phase 1 “HARDWARE SQUEEZING” (COST PER KILOMETER) DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS Phase 2 In the past decades, the actions aimed at improving cost-effectiveness in the manufacturing industries affected just that segment of the value chain related to manufacturing processes Further on, the battle came out to distribution systems: emphasis on cost-bashing has led to an optimization of distribution related operation, which meant minimizing the costs per kilometer, basically through improving fuel consumption, enhancing driver’s productivity, and reducing hardware related costs. Today, cost-effectiveness is ultimately sought in optimization of vehicle use, for instance through communication technologies, with a view to maximize the time the vehicle is in use and minimize the duration of stops. OPTIMISE SUPPLY CHAIN (MAXIMISE VEHICLE USE)

Total Cost of Ownership (Europe) STRONG COMPETITION/ LOW PROFITS VARIABLE COSTS - FUEL - TYRES - ROAD/FUEL TAXES PROFIT PURCHASE PRICE - DEPRECIATION - INTEREST COST REDUCTION IMPROVED SERVICE LEVEL REVENUES TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP Presently in Europe the profit for logistic operators is quite low. In this toughly competitive scenario, achieving costs reduction through an appropriate product together with an improved level of services is crucial to remain in business. The slide shows the components of the Total Cost of Ownership. Proportions refer to the EU logistics market. FIXED COSTS - SALARY - INSURANCE - VEHICLE TAXES AFTER SALES - SERVICING - PARTS

Reducing TCO: the Iveco approach Iveco addresses the logistics industry needs through: Engine technology Leader in fuel consumption Maximum durability and low maintenance costs Remote diagnosis/maintenance Leading technology for environmental care Euro 4 and Euro 5 technologies available today Emissions level ahead of timing requirements Looking into alternative fuels for sustainable mobility Iveco is aware of the factors currently affecting competitiveness of the logistics industry Gearbox technology Transmission not affected by driver’s skills Efficient driving

Trends in Logistics – The Asian markets Will Asian markets follow the “western” path? Probably not: a strong catch-up effect is driving them directly to state of the art solutions Asia relies on a 60-year logistics experience to couple technologies with infrastructure BUT It is highly unlikely that the Asian markets will develop through the same steps the Western market did over the last 60 years: they will catch-up the 21st century’s opportunities AND challenges China is rapidly equipping itself with state-of-the-art infrastructure AND China can put in good use the 60-year experience and know-how developed in the West in order to couple the best way technologies and infrastructure However, an increasing pressure on costs will soon cause Asian markets to react by squeezing costs directly at the level of distribution system, that is jumping to state of the art solutions, hunting for cost-effectiveness. Asian markets need to face the 21st century challenges, too.
