LPI Powered Blue Bird “Vision” Bus

CleanFUEL USA Headquartered in Georgetown, Texas Established in 1993 CF-USA –Manufacturer of motor fuel dispensers and fueling infrastructure - LPG & E85 –Provides fuel supply services, contracts –Owns or franchises 38 fueling locations in California, Arizona, Texas and Colorado. 20 additional locations over the next 12 months –Develops liquid propane fuel injection systems

Vehicle Fuel Systems Fueling Infrastructure Fuel Management Fuel CLEANFUEL USA provides a complete alternative fuel solution

Higher Purchase Price - Exhaust Gas Recirculation - EGR - Variable Geometry Turbocharger - Diesel Particulate Filtration System Some Fuel Economy Depreciation Higher Operating Costs - Higher Fuel Prices - Higher Lubricating Oil Contamination – Reduced.. Oil Change Interval - Costly Particulate Filter Maintenance Diesel Challenge

2007 & 2010 Diesel Emission Standards Increase in diesel engine prices Increased diesel fuel prices Increased maintenance and operating costs Health and global warming issues Government alternative fuel incentives Energy Security Market Factors Favor the Development of a State of the Art Propane Bus

Low cost and domestically produced alternative fuel Non-toxic, burns cleanly & is not a ground contaminant Abundant supply in the U.S. - 60% comes from natural gas & 40% from refining oil Propane is naturally a low emission fuel - Near zero particulate matter Similar MPG and fuel fill rate as gasoline Promotes a clean air – fleet image Support Energy Independence Propane (C 3 H 8 )

Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 and It is currently the world’s most proven, reliable and widely used alternative fuel, fueling more than 10 million vehicles internationally. Provides a clear environmental advantage. Compared to gasoline, propane yields 87% less smog-producing hydrocarbons, up to 90% less carbon monoxide, 12% less carbon dioxide, 50% less nitrogen oxide and 50% fewer toxins and other smog- producing emissions. Propane can play an important role in mitigating climate change, because it is among the lowest life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of all commercially available fuels. The D.O.E. website states the low carbon and oil contamination characteristics of propane have resulted in documented engine life of up to two times that of gasoline engines. Propane Advantages Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Orange County (California) Transit Authority

The LPI System Clean-Low Emission Simple Design Economical Superior Performance Safe Supported Accepted

EPA & CARB – HD Diesel Standard 1.0 EPA & CARB – HD Gasoline Standard NOx Only Clean – Low Emissions Blue Bird “Vision” 8.1L 0.175

Direct replacement of the OEM gasoline fuel system. - Liquid Propane Injection - Sequential Port Injected - Utilizes the GM P-59 Engine Control Unit - Utilizes proven Components from Seimens and Walbro Developed & Certified by CFUSA for the GM 8.1 at the. General Motors Proving Grounds in Millbrook, England - Approximately 40,000 systems operating Worldwide - EPA/CARB Certified: April, 2006C4500/C5500 Simple Design

Benefit: Vaporization occurs at the intake port, cooling the air/fuel. charge and increasing air/fuel density providing power better than the gasoline engine equivalent. Vaporization creates a cooling effect reducing valve and upper cylinder temperatures and prolonging engine life. Heavy End fallout from the fuel during vaporization provides. valve and upper cylinder lubrication. Provides excellent cold weather start and go. “ LPI Delivers Propane to the Intake Port as a Liquid ”

Benefit: Proprietary programming optimizes fuel economy,. performance and low emissions Injector spray pattern is optimized as designed by the. engine OEM. OEM developed diagnostics remain intact with the LPI system. Allows use of GM Tech II tool for diagnostics. “LPI control is integrated into the OEM computer”

Benefit: Siemens is one of the worlds largest volume fuel injector manufacturers providing superior economics and quality. Injectors are of a bottom feed design with a straight. through fuel flow. - Provides a self cleaning and purging action. - Reduces contaminant build up. - Improves the service life of the injectors. - Maintains fuel economy, performance and low emissions. - Provides quiet operation. “LPI utilizes Siemens bottom feed injectors”

Benefit: Critical valves are centrally located in a multi valve which is mounted below the tank shell perimeter providing superior protection from damage. Tanks are ASME certified. all critical components ” “LPI fuel tank contains/protects
