  5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. PASSENGER CAR Average Fuel Economy vs. CAFE vs. Fuel Price 5 distinct periods: • Green History • Over past 30 years, there have been 5 distinct periods of Fuel Economy, Price & CAFE change • Passenger Car Average Fuel Economy relatively unchanged over past 20 years, despite Price & CAFE status • 5 distinct periods: • 1979-1982: Fuel economy rose as price of fuel rose dramatically; • 1984-1986: Fuel economy rose as CAFE standard rose; • 1986-1988: Fuel economy rose even as fuel price fell & CAFE relaxed (due to pressure from US OEMs); • 1988-2002: Fuel economy, fuel price & passenger car CAFE standard remained relatively stable (especially after CAFE returned to 1986 levels in 1990); • Since 2002: Fuel economy remained relatively unchanged while prices rose dramatically.

  6. Indirect or Potential Benefit Direct or Definite Benefit • Green History • National Issues have resulted in accelerating Regulatory Trend • Alternative Fuels Development & Implementation targets Energy Security • Greenhouse Gas Control targets Global Warming • Fuel Economy targets all 3 (including High Oil Prices) • All Regulatory Trends have potential benefit to addressing Energy Security, Global Warming & High Oil Prices

  7. OEM Strategies • Long-term focus • Since founding, Honda has focused on fuel efficiency & low emissions • In ’90s, Honda developed a “baby-step” or incremental focus • Seemingly unrelated technologies developed concurrently, eventually combined to provide key advantage • Honda prepares to mass produce FCX Clarity, limited series product available in California • Diverse solutions • Programs include Gasoline, near term Diesel, 2-mode HEV & Hydrogen I.C.E. technologies • Emphasis of I.C.E. directions reflects historic “Dynamic”/ “Driver’s” focus of BMW products • BMW Corporate emphasis on sustainability beginning to be recognized • Efforts extend beyond Product • Green manufacturing & facilities play key role alongside Technology & Product stories • Historic perspective (Henry Ford’s early study of renewables & sustainable energy sources) • Leadership position in LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified “Green” facilities • Partnerships • Website link provides potential “carbon-offset” benefit, links to CarbonFund.org • Donations used to establish “VW Forest” in Northeast Louisiana • 227,677 trees, offsetting annual emissions from 82,976 cars, 373,391 tons of carbon)

  8. Commercialized VEHICLE Fuel Cell • OEM Strategies Long-term Focus • Current target, since mid-’90s, is Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle • A long string of technical milestones, in some cases, seemingly unrelated • Each of the milestones contribute to final goal of “zero-impact” transportation • Clean I.C.E. development since early ’70s (SULEV gasoline, AT-PZEV CNG & HEV and Tier 2 Bin 5 Diesel) • Aluminum construction (NSX) key to production of lightweight EV & HEV vehicles in same low-volume factory as NSX • EV development led to expertise in Battery technologies, Controllers & Actuators, Electric Motors, etc.; All vital for FCEV • HEV development led to expertise in more complex Controllers & Actuators in marrying 2 power systems • CNG development led to expertise in distribution, fueling, on-board storage & delivery (as well as increase public awareness) of gaseous fuels; Vital for Hydrogen FCEV Internal Combustion Engines (I.C.E.) Converging Technologies Non- I.C.E.

  9. OEM Strategies Long-term Focus • Published 2007 Environmental Issue Brief: Creating Environmentally Responsible Mobility • “…Continuing its industry-leading efforts to address the environmental challenges of global warming, emissions reduction and energy sustainability through a comprehensive approach that involves further improvements to gasoline engine fuel efficiency, the development of real-world alternatives to gasoline including natural gas and the hydrogen-powered fuel cell car, and technology for refueling those vehicles.” SOURCE: American Honda Motor Corporation, Public Relations 10/30/07
