1 H&W Distributors Scott Hyman & Noah Wegener

2 Fuel Efficient Design At highway speeds, air resistance is a source of tremendous inefficiency. Low cost solutions exist to help minimize these losses.

3 Trailer Skirt Fuel Efficiency Increase: 5%

4 Trailer Leading Edge Technologies Slats Fairing Fuel Efficiency Increase: 4%

5 Trailing Edge Technologies Fuel Efficiency Increase: 2%

6 Tires Fuel Efficiency Increase: 4%

7 Cost All the fairings and side skirts should come to approximately $2,000-$4,000 per installment As a result to the installments, the savings made should pay for the installments within 3-4 years

8 Tyrano

9 Performance Type Electric Torque (pound-feet) 3,300 peak Horsepower 536 peak Acceleration Top Speed Governed at 65 mph @ 80,000 pounds GCVWR Battery Battery Management System Expected Battery Life 10,000 hours Output up to 65 kilowatts Range 200 miles Refueling Time Average of 4—7 minutes

10 Total Costs The cost of all the fairings and side skirts should come to approximately $2,000- $4,000 per installment As a result to the installments, the savings made should pay for the installments within 3-4 years Tyrano cost- $10,000-$30,000 after port program and California and Federal tax credits. 35-percent less than diesel trucks
