Vehicle Trials – What to Expect
Validate Vehicle Performance► Engine capabilities► Vehicle reliability► Driver acceptance
Validate Existing Fueling Stations► Fuel fill time► Station accessibility
Financial Results► Will not reflect economies of scale
Leverage buying power at retail stations Leverage fuel volume for 3rd party station builder

Larger Implementation Strategy
Leverage Economies of Scale► Create plan & TCO budget to buy/lease/convert enough vehicles to
generate single location volumes in the 200,000 – 500,000 DGEs per years.
New dedicated NG equipment is most advantageous OEM with new engines
Glider kits with remanufactured engines Dual fuel technology – verdict still out but positive feedback
► Back into the required fuel cost that provides required ROI► Identify location for station that minimizes operational impact► Create partnership with a fuel station builder► Hedge your bets = Game changer!► Execute vehicle implementation based on timeline for station completion

How is Ryder helping offset Increased costs?
Buying tank systems directly from tank manufacturer► Quantum technologies
Installing tank systems ourselves► Reduces install cost► Reduces transportation cost► Reduced vehicle lead time
Increased residual values► 12L with medium sized tank systems (115DGE – 140DGE)
Create the right scale of implementation► Leverage multiple customers into a single fuel station

Regulatory Environment
Usually not a positive!► EPA 2007► EPA 2010► EPA 2013/14
Obama recently told EPA and DOT to create & issue new fuel efficiency and GHG standards for trucks by March 2016 – effective 2020
Diesel operations will continue to get more expensive, as natural gas operation will continue to get cheaper to buy & operate

Conclusions
Given the right scale, natural gas applications make financial sense today, without incentives.
Infrastructure players will build stations anywhere you want, given base load volumes.
Comparative costs will continue to improve
Industry has a solid base for continued success and expansion

Maintenance Considerations
Shop upgrade costs - $300,000 - $500,000 per shop► NFPA vs. Fire Marshall
Technician Training & Tooling $30,000 - $80,000 Vehicle premium
► CNG vs. LNG► Range vs. Weight vs. Cost
Maintenance Cost Increase!!!► Expensive Spark Plugs► Tank inspections / vacuum seal► Component failures► Fuel system complexity► Increased Inventory

On & Off Road, Marine & Rail
CR England just signed on with Shell for LNG stations Alpha Coal West (off road) are doing dual fuel vehicle applications Marine leapfrogging from bunker fuel to LNG
► Golf Coast Shipping (Gulfport, MS) just launched 1st of 6 302’ long LNG dual fuel vessels.
Railroad industry evaluating CNG & LNG, Dedicated & Dual Fuel► Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad to convert 31 locomotives to CNG► Berkshire Hathaway testing these technologies in a number of their
railway companies

Shop Retrofit Considerations
Methane Detection► Ryder requires for both CNG & LNG
Electrical► Relocate electrical outside classified zone (18”)► Explosion proof lighting
Facility Heaters► No ambient heaters because they get to 900 degrees► Forced air
Adjacent Occupancies► Install audible & visual alarms
