Market Diversity
Energy Security – Demand
Analyzing the World’s Largest Vehicle Markets:
Country Population Vehicles China: 1.3 billion 85 million Unites States: 310 million 254 million
Cars Per Citizen: China: 0.07 or ~ 1 to 14.2 United States: 0.82 or ~ 1 to 1.2
If China’s automotive adoption were ever to equal that of the U.S., they’d have more than one billion (1,000,000,000) automobiles registered
Alternative Fuel Fantasy…?
Fuel Costs: – Reduced by 30 to 40% – Positive ROI with or without government incentives
Origin – 97% from North America
Performance – Same horsepower, torque, towing capacity – No impact to payload / storage space
Service – Same warranty coverage – Same diagnostic equipment
Refueling – Third most-commonly available (behind gas & diesel) – Lower cost infrastructure than any other fuel
Emissions – 24% reduction in GHG – 20% reduction in NOX
Background
Discovered in 1910 – Dr. Walter O. Snelling
First used as an engine fuel in 1913
Composition – Propane = C3H8
– Gasoline = C8H18
Sources – 60% from natural gas refining – 40% from petroleum refining – 97% from North American sources
Propane Autogas – Around the World
Most widely used alternative fuel in the world today – Over 17 million vehicles powered by propane autogas – Consumption is up 60% since 2000
High concentration in certain countries – Korea, Russia, Turkey, Poland, and Italy account for 53% of global
consumption
Share of autogas in total fuel consumption, by country:
– Turkey = 18% – US = 0.1%
Propane Autogas – Around the World
Number of vehicles on the road (autogas) – Turkey = 2.4 million vehicles – Poland = 2.3 million vehicles – Korea = 2.3 million vehicles – Italy = 1.7 million vehicles – Russia = 1.3 million vehicles
Australia – Every third vehicle off Ford’s assembly line is propane autogas powered
Turkey – More propane autogas sold last year than gasoline + diesel combined

– 10,000 fewer gallons of gasoline / van / year – 300,000 fewer lbs of CO2 / van – $14,500 reduction in fuel costs / van / year
“The switch to propane autogas was the smart thing to do. We are seeing tremendous fuel savings right now. Gas prices in Arizona are averaging $3.65 / gallon [in mid-April, 2011]. Our drivers who are using public propane refueling infrastructure around Phoenix are paying $2.20 per gallon.” - Ken Brooks, National Purchasing Manager
