Changes• The economics of HD diesel vehicle operation are changing – Higher vehicle pricing to meet 2007 emissions requirements – Further cost increases related to 2010 emissions technology – Higher cost of Ultra Low Sulfur – Uncertain crude oil pricing

• Concern about Green House Gases

• Advancements in NG engines in HD vehicles

What about ? • Clean burning, safe vehicle fuel • Abundant supply in North America • Renewable fuel – Gas, Bio Gas • Lower GHG emissions • Lower cost, less volatility • Engine technology advancements

• Less than .01% used for transportation in U.S. 98% – 10 million NGVs would use about 3%

• World NG reserves estimated at 3x that of oil • Huge advances being made in bio-

(LFG), dairy farms, wastewater treatment plants • NGVs offer solution to dependence on foreign oil

– U.S. imports up to 70% of its oil at a cost of $700 billion a year
