CENEX WTW analysis shows GHG reduction of 40.1 to 64.2%

Well-To-Wheels Analysis


14/16


Dual-Fuel is a practical, proven and reliable alternative to diesel inheavy-duty powertrain

The cost differential of Natural Gas to diesel delivers significantoperating cost savings

Running HGVs on Natural Gas and specifically Bio-Methane willimprove the Europes energy security

Using natural gas or bio-methane, Dual-Fuel offers a practicalroute to reduced greenhouse gas emission from HGV fleets

The use of Dual-Fuel and bio-methane can reduce the greenhouse

gas emission from HGV fleets by around 65% well-to-wheels

Conclusions


15/16


What next?

OEM Dual-Fuel is on the way

CAP signed LOI with Volvo to develop

a commercial Volvo Dual-Fuel product

CAP signed LOI in October 09 withsecond global OEM

Genesis Retro-Fit

Genesis now available onVolvo FM13 Euro 5

Proving robust and reliable

Delivering cost and carbonsavings

On trial now with majorlogistics organisations
