1 FOSSIL FUEL CHALLENGES 1. Strong dependency 35% of global energy 96% of energy for transportation 2. Finite resource 3. Environmental impact

2 GLOBAL MEGATRENDS 1. Urbanization 2. Rising world population 3. Aging population in mature markets

3 AUTOMOTIVE MEGATRENDS1. Driving Experience 2. Safety & Accident-free Driving 3. Alternative Propulsion & Zero Emission Mobility

4 Watt-Link  Improved performance of compound crank  Mass (35% less than 4-link suspension)  Cost (30% less than 4-link suspension) Opel demonstrates “top handling” through innovative and affordable solutions 1. DRIVING EXPERIENCE: CHASSIS INNOVATIONS FlexRide  Adaptive driving style recognition and selectable drive modes (many customizable)  Chassis and steering settings optimized according to drive mode, driving style and driving situation

5 1. DRIVING EXPERIENCE: INFOTAINMENT Today Entertainment, telephone functions Tomorrow In-car connection with outside-world via internet and integrated smart phones using apps from the cloud Vision “Seamless car” In-car integration of life, work, recreation, mobility Live-pictures, videostreams, comments

6 Flex7 ® Plus (Zafira) FlexSpace ® (Meriva ) Seat system FlexFix ® Integrated bike carrier system FlexFloor ® Retractable load floor (AGR certified) FlexRail ® Center console FlexDoors ® Easy entry for all and easy securing of children Opel vehicles offer – at affordable prices – maximum benefit to customer by adapting to their transportation needs 1. DRIVING EXPERIENCE: VERSATILITY

7 Front camera  Traffic Sign Recognition  Lane Departure Warning  Adaptive Forward Lighting  Forward Collision Alert Available now with launch of new Zafira Tourer 2. SAFETY & ACCIDENT-FREE DRIVING: DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS Ultrasonic sensors  Park Assist  Side Obstacle Detection  Side Blind Spot Alert Rear view camera Additional safety benefits by  Adaptive Cruise Control  Glare-Free High Beam

8 2. SAFETY & ACCIDENT FREE DRIVING: COLLISION PREVENTION 2011 Driver-assistance systems 2015 Vehicle-to- vehicle/infrastructure communications 2020 Autonomous and semi-autonomous driving  Hazard warnings  Traffic management  Accident avoidance Opel Eye traffic sign recognition

9 Improve vehicle fuel economy and emissions Displace petroleum Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles Battery electric vehicles/E-REV Hybrid electric vehicles (including plug-in HEV) IC engine and transmission improvements Energy Diversit y Petroleum Alternative fuels (CNG, LPG) Electricity Hydrogen 3. ALTERNATIVE PROPULSION & ZERO-EMISSION MOBILITY

10  Average fleet consumption reduced by 16% since 2003  ecoFLEX fuel saving technologies  67 ecoFLEX models, including 47 with Start/Stop  89 models below 130g/km CO 2 Leadership in CO 2 reduction Fuel-saving technology at affordable prices OPTIMIZATION OF CONVENTIONAL PROPULSION SYSTEMS: ecoFLEX

11 Today  Downsizing  Turbocharged  Diesel and gasoline  Small and midsize displacements (1.0 – 1.4/1.6 – 1.8 L)  Fuel economy improved by up to 15%  Direct injection  Variable-displacement oil pump  Advanced turbocharging technology  Balance shafts  Hybrid-capable New engine families  Double clutch transmission (DCT)  8-speed automatic (AT8)  6-speed manual (MT6)  Automated-manual (MTA) All-new transmissions OPTIMIZATION OF CONVENTIONAL PROPULSION SYSTEMS: NEW POWERTRAINS

12 Zafira Tourer 1.6 CNG Turbo ecoFLEX OPTIMIZATION OF CONVENTIONAL PROPULSION SYSTEMS: CNG Signatory “Initiative Erdgasmobilität. CNG und Biomethan als Kraftstoffe” (Initiative for CNG and biomethane fuels)  Diversification of fuels  Low CO 2 emissions  Synergetic combination of fuel and turbo technology

13 OPEL RAK e EXPERIMENTAL VEHICLE  Power: 36.5 kW / 10.5 kW (max./cont.)  Top speed: 120 km/h  Acceleration (0-100 km/h): ca. 13 s  Range: 100 km  Recharging time: ca. 3 h  Electricity cost: ca. € 1.00/100 km  Weight: 380 kg The answer to growing urbanization

14 40 – 80 km Battery-electric driving > 500 km Extended-range driving OPEL AMPERA EXTENDED-RANGE ELECTRIC VEHICLE (E-REV)

15  No range anxiety  Independent from public recharging infrastructure  Usage as primary or single vehicle in household  First electric vehicle fully suitable for everyday use  Volume model – not a demo vehicle At Opel dealers NOW! OPEL AMPERA EXTENDED-RANGE ELECTRIC VEHICLE (E-REV)

16 E-REV SUPERIORITY050100250500150200300350400450Range/km Cost Weight Volume Recharging time E-REV approach overcomes limitations of battery technology

17 Study: “A portfolio of powertrains for Europe: A fact-based analysis” Full study available under www.zeroemissionsvehicles.eu (October 2010)www.zeroemissionsvehicles.eu LONG-TERM COST DEVELOPMENT 20102015202020252030 0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 Compact midsize segment FCEV BEV PHEV ICE Improvements from generation to generation lead to comparable cost of ownership for different propulsion systems

18 FUEL CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLES  Long driving range without limitation on vehicle size/functionality  Zero emissions  Fast refueling  Infrastructure required World’s largest market test with Opel HydroGen4 Market readiness anticipated for 2015/16

19  CO 2 reduction: ecoFLEX models  Driver-assistance systems and versatility: State-of-the-art technologies  Powertrains: Industry-leadership with new engines and transmissions  E-mobility: From Ampera to fuel cell CONCLUSION OPEL LEADERSHIP IN KEY AREAS
