1 Energy and Environment At GM, we believe tomorrow s automobiles must be flexible enough to accommodate many different energy sources. And a key part of that flexibility will be enabled by the development of electrically driven cars. Rick Wagoner Chairman and CEO General Motors Corporation LA Auto Show 11/29/2006

2 THE BRAZILIAN EXPERIENCE A process to convince customers A large and nationwide distribution of fuel stations High level of alcohol production 18 billion of liters annually Permanent investment to install new mills Goverment Policy GASOLINE (with 25% of alcohol) for passenger cars and light commercials DIESEL for buses and trucks

3 BRAZILIAN ALCOHOL PROGRAM 1973 Second international oil crisis President Gen. Ernesto Geisel took term 1975 Government announces the creation of the Brazilian Alcohol Program to reduce dependency of imported oil, offering fiscal incentives to automakers and long term financing programs for alcohol mills

4 GENERAL MOTORS DO BRASIL Has always supported the PROÁLCOOL First Phase June 1979 launched the small Chevette powered by an alcohol engine, followed by other car models January 1981 launched an engine powered by alcohol for trucks Second Phase Launched the Corsa Classic 1.6 powered by an alcohol engine Astra 1.8 powered by alcohol

5 THE MARKET FOR ALCOHOL-POWERED VEHICLES Until 1988 total dominance of vehicles running with alcohol near 100 % Early 90 s shortage of alcohol production Customers return to use gasoline again Demands target production Industry does not put cars on shelves Customer is the king of the market 1992 GM do Brasil in partnership with Robert Bosch began research to develop the first Brazilian vehicle to use flex fuel engine. The Chevrolet Omega 1994 was the first car to run with both alcohol and gasoline

6 FLEXPOWER LAUNCHINGS Corsa 1.8 June 2003 Montana 1.8 October 2003 Meriva November 2003 Zafira February 2004 Astra April 2004 New Vectra 2.0 and 2.4 liter October 2005 Classic January 2006 Celta New Generation April 2006 Prisma October 2006 S10 Pick-Up and Blazer 2.4 liter January 2007

7 CURRENT SITUATION ON FLEX FUEL AND MULTIFUELVEHICLES IN BRAZIL April 2007 Fleet of more than 3 millon flex fuel vehicles already sold in BrazilB April 2012 Anfavea is predicting a fleet of more than 12 million flex fuel vehicles GM do Brasil Launches the Chevrolet Astra Multipower Engine powered by alcohol, gasoline and compressed natural gas - CNG Presented to Brazil s s President Lula in August 2005

8 US PRESIDENT VISIT TO BRAZIL Best acquaintance of the Brazilian experience with alcohol and flex fuel vehicles GM do Brasil shows its Vectra Flexpower Informed that Brazilian customers are very well satisfied with the flex fuel vehicles American automakers to spread nationwide their E-85 E vehicles

11 GM s s Energy Diversity Plan Not one thing, but several key initiatives 1. Fuel Efficient Vehicles 24 Cars and Trucks over 30 MPG Active Fuel Management Advanced Diesels around the world 2. Alternative Fuels / Biofuels E85 BioDiesels

12 Global Renewable Fuels In U.S., GM has 2 million FlexFuel E85-capable vehicles on the road. Building >500,000 more every year. In Brazil, FlexPower is now available in every passenger car model. FlexPower models account for 90% of sales. In Sweden, Saab leads the environment-friendly car segment with BioPower, accounting for 85% of Saab sales.

13 Why E85? E85 is a clean-burning, renewable resource Reduced dependency on foreign oil Help the U.S. Economy GM builds the engines flexible to run on unleaded gas or E85 ethanol Reduced greenhouse gasses
