3 ALTERNATIVE FUELS

4 Lorum From concept ipsum est to reality in just 3 years 4

5 Methane dictionary Methane CH4 CNG Compressed Natural gas bar CBG Compressed Bio Gas LNG Liquefied Natural Gas ( o C) LBG Liquefied Bio Gas Liquefied gas is 2-3 as energy efficient as compressed gas. More efficient to distribute 5

6 Volvo LNG MethaneDiesel benefits Versus conventional truck Cost savings LNG is a relatively cheap fuel in many markets Reduced climate effect 70% less CO 2 effect with LBG (between 3-15 % with LNG) Versus competitor gas trucks Fuel savings % more efficient gas combustion compared to spark ignited engines (Otto) Flexibility Runs on diesel if gas tank is empty 6

7 Cooperation BiMe project: AGA,EON, Fordonsgas and Gasföreningen Short term goal: Common project between Volvo and gas suppliers. 100 LNGvehicles and 1 filling station in Göteborg, Malmö and Stockholm respectively Inauguration Statoil in Stockholm 7

8 Methane-Diesel Components Gas injector system Gas EMS Catalyst Smaller diesel tank Normal diesel engine Methane tank 8

9 Methane gas: CNG vs LNG CNG Compressed Natural Gas Suitable for shorter distances like city distribution Easy access to gas an advantage LNG Liquid Natural Gas Greater volume efficiency up to 50% greater range Requires a new network of filling stations 9

10 Payback calculation example Gas price 60% of diesel price Key facts Total Yearly driving distance (km) Fuel consumption (liter/100km) km 32 litre/100km Gas share (%) 75 % Diesel price ( /litre) 1,00 Gas price ( /litre diesel equivalent) 0,60 Price premium for MDE-technique (k ) 36 k Yr 0 Yr 1 Yr 2 Yr 3 Yr 4 Yr 5 Yr 6 Yr 7 Yr 8 Yr 9 Yr ,7 years

11 Volvo FL and FE: CNG compressed gas 7 liter engine on CNG Retrofit by Stadspartner. Up to 80% methane gas Engine power 240 or 340 hp Torque Nm tons Field test and certification 2010 Range 400 km (with two tanks) 11

12 Volvo FM: LNG liquid gas 13 liter engine on LNG Volvo installed Up to 80% liquid methane Power 460 hp Torque 2300 Nm ton Range >500 km 12

13 Range Traditional gas engine with spark plugs CNG Methanediesel CNG Methanediesel LNG km 13

14 Volvo Bio-DME project 14

15 DME (Di-Methyl-Ether) Produced from renewable raw materials Engine: All moving parts identical to the diesel version Bio-DME can be produced from all biomass 95 % reduced CO 2 compared to diesel fuel No emission of soot particles Very high energy efficiency Black liquor attractive because of price and availability DME fuel 5.
