18. dHybrid’s marketplace strategy will create relationships
with numerous potential acquirers
◦ Engine manufacturers such as Cummins (which
invested $20M in its JV with Westport)
◦ Oil companies (most of which have significant gas
holdings which are complimentary to trucking cycle)
◦ Entrepreneurs like T. Boone Pickens and/or financial
buyers such as private equity firms
◦ Natural Gas Pipeline and Truckstop Companies
An IPO would be a clear possibility if dHybrid is able to
achieve its strategic positioning goals and achieve its
financial projections

21. Fuel Savings:
◦ Annual savings/truck equal $23,400
◦ Truck fleet average cost per mile equals $.65
Environmental Regulations:
◦ Caterpillar was #1 in engines shipped but exited
through inability to meet stringent 2010 Federally-
mandated emission standards
◦ New fuel consumption and emission standards set
for 2014 may force some engine manufacturers to
move to dHybrid-type solution or radically
improved diesel solutions (not yet developed)
22. Primary market is 2M Class 8 Big Rigs
◦ At $34K/engine which turn over every 5 years
yields annual addressable market of $13.6B
Secondary market is 5M Medium Duty
Diesel Trucks
◦ At $25K/engine which turn over every 8 years
yielding annual revenues of $15.6B
25. CNG is typically 1/3 the cost of Diesel
◦ Example: Team drivers would generate $10,000
savings in 3 months
Preliminary tests: 20% less C02, 28% less N0x
More power and efficiency than Diesel alone
Profitable green alternative
Decreases DPF regeneration time
Greater range than CNG alone
