Greetings!

If you are involved with interstate and intrastate trucking we are going to save you thousands in fuel costs

through a two year trial of a commercially viable fuel saving technology.

“The First 500”

We are initially securing two trucks from each of ten companies, when you choose to be involved this

means fuel savings of between 15-35% for each of your vehicles, as well as recognition nationally for being

part of our First 500 program.

Most importantly for being part of the First 500 you are guaranteed the ability to reorder.

You see we intend to produce 200 units per year, so if you choose to have nine trucks rolled into the First

500, each year you can exercise your right to reorder the same amount of units until you are satisfied. This

aggregates so if you organise two, three and four trucks through the year, you can reorder up to 9 in front

of those that were late to the table.

This gives favouritism to the bold and ultimately significant competitive advantage. If you can save 15-35%

on your operational costs and your competitors have 1% margins, you can drop your rates 5% and still

make more.

Keep in mind a supply issue is going to arise as we are only making 200 a year and have over 2,350

enquiries into the product.

Understandably with all new technologies there is risk involved and we want to mitigate this for you; if the

system does not perform as you expected you can cease participation in the trials at any time and if it

takes us more than 3 months from order to delivery we will give you your money back.

Through our work with engine manufacturers, warranties apply to all parts where there has been no

tampering and you should understand that the trial is exactly that, no warranties are given, but very clever

people have done a lot of work to make our systems reliable, safe and a genuine benefit to you.

Whilst you are a member of the First 500, you will become part of an integrated grass roots community,

enabling fuel saving technologies and defining an emerging industry. This is your chance to lead from the

front.

As we roll out our production and licensee certification systems, you can send your people into HOH and

learn how to manufacture and fit the units yourself. Then simply order from parts.hohcells.com or buy

your own parts from our model listings and covert your whole fleet!

Our day to day goal is breathing cleaner air and reducing our reliance on oil, I am sure you feel the same?

Ask yourself genuinely:

“Is it worth $10,000 upfront and $1,000 per month to save between 15% and 35% on my fuel costs?”

If you want to exit the trial and keep the parts you can buy them for $15,000 and maintain as you see fit.

Using HOH you will be saving more money day to day, but now that the fuel price is lower imagine when it

goes up again! Are you ready yet?

Page 4: ANNOUNCING Limited fuel-saving technology trial for Australian trucking

Our intent is to conduct the First 500 trial with reputable, established and visionary trucking companies,

committed to both reducing pollution and lowering operational costs.

After being guided by well known people in the transport industry this trial is ready to help your business.

Have you got a 25% buffer in your margins and do you possibly want one? Are you willing to let your

competitors gain this advantage to the tune of 200 trucks per year?

I imagine it would not be a good thing when our marketing kicks into gear and someone in your company

finds out you turned down this opportunity!

Time is quite limited as we are filling our production schedule for delivery in June, you need to have your

initial vehicle payments in by the 28th of February.

whole world is in on it (check out www.hohcells.com/globalfactsheet.pdf).

Australian Made. Remember that? We are, and proud of it! Hopefully our research and ingenuity can

help your company succeed in difficult times.

Page 13: ANNOUNCING Limited fuel-saving technology trial for Australian trucking

How does it work?

Using the well known but under utilized science of electrolysis, water is broken in

to its gas form, Hydrogen-Oxygen-Hydrogen (HOH) by applying an electrical

charge to the water. This gas is then safely feed in to the air intake of your engine

to encourage a more complete and thorough combustion, resulting in increased

mileage and reduced emissions.

What maintenance is required?

This system requires only water and produces 2000 litres of gas for every litre of

water supplied. Our system produces from 60 to 480 litres of gas per hour, using

only water. The system may require a flush every 3 months depending on the

quality of water used. The system holds a small amount of water within the

system; automatic water refill facilities maintain optimum water levels. External

water storage facilities are scaled to provide, days, weeks or even months of

continuous operation. The First 500 program includes all system maintenance

expenses, with components replaced periodically or as required.

Will it work for me?

The gas is very energetic and loves carbon, it combusts at a ratio of 95 times its

volume with other oxygen and nitrogen in the air at 1000ft per second. The result

is enhanced combustion efficiency and in turn increased mileage and reduced

emissions.

Page 14: ANNOUNCING Limited fuel-saving technology trial for Australian trucking

What results should I expect?

This depends on your engine size, driving type (city, country, interstate) and

engine condition. A typical result is an increase in mileage by 25% where 60 litres

(per hour) of gas is supplied for each 2000cc engine capacity.

Is it safe?

This system is extremely safe. It makes the gas you use on-demand (as it is

needed). This means no gas is stored and it only makes gas as your equipment

operates. The system includes all necessary safety valves and cut off switches to

comply with the Australian Design Rules and International Best Practice.

Will it harm my engine?

No, in fact quite the opposite! The HOH gas is a natural solvent targeting carbon

build up in the engine. This means, once the system has cleaned itself, less oil

filter changes are required.

What about my engine warranty?

As no changes to the fuel delivery or engine timing is usually required and

combustion temperature reduces reducing wear on valves, engine makers are

disallowed from rejecting warranty claims as a result of this gas. Your warranty is

protected under the Trade Practices Act, 1974.

Page 15: ANNOUNCING Limited fuel-saving technology trial for Australian trucking

Can I increase the results?

Yes, there are a number of ways to increase your savings. Add a second system

and or alter your timing and fuel supply.

Doing either of these has consequence. Adding an additional system will put

extra load on your alternator and you may need to change it to a high powered

one. Altering your timing and fuel supply can introduce warranty issues.

How long will the system last?

Our systems are well made and robust enough to withstand the harsh conditions

of everyday use. They are rated for up to 4000 operating hours, which equates to

2 years or more, if properly maintained.

How soon will I see results?

You should notice an immediate improvement in torque and reduced throttle

position. Small throttle position changes make big differences to fuel supply. After

the first week of running in, you should be filling up with fuel less frequently. You

may need to change your driving behaviour by using the additional torque to skip

gears and lift your foot off the pedal a little.

Page 16: ANNOUNCING Limited fuel-saving technology trial for Australian trucking

How much do the systems cost?

For the next two years systems are provided under the First 500 Program.

Please complete the quote request and return for a firm quote.

What about installation?

Installation is included as part of the First 500 Program. Self

installation can be conducted once training and has been

completed.

How much will I save?

This depends on how much you currently spend and your current

mileage. Look at your last month fuel bill and divide it by 4.

This should indicate your monthly savings. Systems are designed for

commercial users who travel approximately 60,000+km per year.

How do I get one?

These systems are in hot demand and are made to order. To find out how soon

you can have your system delivered, complete the attached Quote Request. A

firm quote based on the options you select and delivery schedule is then

provided.
