1 ON THE ROAD WITH CLEAN DIESEL Diesel Technology Trends in Transit Buses and Future Technology Developments

2 Our Members are the Leaders in Clean Diesel Technology AGCO BorgWarner Bosch Caterpillar Inc. Chrysler Group CNH Industrial Cummins Inc Daimler Deere & Company Delphi Automotive Ford Motor Company General Motors Honeywell Isuzu Manufacturing Services America Johnson Matthey Mazda North American Operations MTU America Umicore Volvo Group Volkswagen of America Yanmar America Allied Members Association of Diesel Specialists National Biodiesel Board Western States Petroleum Association

3 WHY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DIESEL It s All About Energy Density A Gallon of Diesel Can Move More People and Goods than any other transportation fuel around DIESEL Gasoline CNG

4 IT S ABOUT A SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION FUTURE Transformation to near-zero emissions + Renewable fuel and hybrid capabilities = Diesel technology as a sustainable energy strategy for the future

5 IT S ALSO ABOUT CLEAN An interconnected system of clean fuels, advanced engine design and exhaust or aftertreatment technologies working to reduce emissions to near-zero emissions

6 CLEAN AIR BENEFITS OF CLEAN DIESEL HIT THE ROAD Share of the National Clean Diesel Fleet 33.5% 14.7%

7 AMERICA S TRANSIT FLEET IS ONE OF CLEANEST AROUND! 50.0% 45.0% 40.0% 35.0% 30.0% 25.0% 20.0% 15.0% 10.0% 5.0% 0.0% Share of the Clean Diesels in the Diesel Bus Fleet Model Year Model Year Transit Buses National Average SOURCE: APTA Vehicles Database, 2013 The Share of Clean Diesels in the Public Transit Fleet Far Exceeds the National Average

8 DIESEL IS THE TECHNOLOGY OF CHOICE FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT Share of Fuels and Engines in the Public Transit Bus Fleet: 2013 Propane: 0.08% Diesel Fuel: 77.71% CNG: 19.90% Hydrogen: 0.20% Gasoline: 0.94% LNG: 0.96% Gasoline & Electric Battery: 0.10% Electric Battery: 0.11% Breakdown of Diesel Powered Transit Bus Fleet: 2013 Diesel Electric: 12% Biodiesel: 7% SOURCE: APTA Vehicles Database, 2013 Conventional Diesel: 81%

9 DIESEL CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE FLEET Share of the Transit bus Fleet 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Diesel Fuel SOURCE: APTA Vehicles Database, 2013 & 2011 CNG

10 CLEAN DIESEL: JUST AS CLEAN AS NATURAL GAS 2012 Clean Diesel Bus & 2012 CNG Bus Emissions Comparison To 2000 Diesel Bus Vs Diesel Bus Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Particulate Matter (PM) Hydrocarbon (HC) 2012 Diesel Bus -94% -98% -89% 2012 CNG Bus -80% -99% -100% Emissions Reductions Per 10 Replacement Buses Vs Diesel Bus Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) Particulate Matter (PM) Hydrocarbon (HC) 2012 Diesel -4,953 kg -275 kg -429 kg 2012 CNG -4,197 kg -279 kg -471 kg SOURCE: Clean Air Task Force. Clean Diesel versus CNG Buses: Cost, Air Quality, & Climate Impacts (2012)

11 DIESEL S FUTURE IS CLEANER AND GREENER Phase 1 Heavy Duty Fuel Economy & GHG Rules for Model Year will Require Greater Fuel Savings and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction. Requirements will save $50 billion in fuel costs for vehicle owner as well as 270 metric tons of CO2 reduced Combinations of engine and vehicle technologies deployed during Phase 1 Further Refinements to Diesel Engines & Advanced Hybrid Technologies Will Greatly Improve Fuel Savings and Emissions

12 SUMMING IT ALL UP Decades of innovation has resulted in near zero emissions from diesel engines America s public transit bus fleet is one of the cleanest around! Diesel will continue to dominate the fleet. Fuel savings as well as hybrid and biofuel capabilities will allow diesel to be a part of a sustainable future. The future is bright and green for diesel Advanced diesel engine technologies will be a vital pathway to meeting Phase 1 heavy duty fuel economy requirements Refinements in engine and hybrid technologies will help to greatly improve fuel economy, fuel savings for transit agencies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
