Setting the Stage for Change

“There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right

direction.”

-Winston Churchill

Page 3: Propane-powered Vehicles and the ROUSH System

By the Numbers – U.S. Stats

• 17+ Million Autogas Vehicles World Wide

– Less Than 2% in United States (~290,000)

– United States is the world’s 2nd largest car market

Page 4: Propane-powered Vehicles and the ROUSH System

By the Numbers – Oil Stats

• Q2 - 2011 US Oil Imports – April ~344 Million Barrels / $42.5 billion ($1.42 billion per day)

– May ~362 Million Barrels / $41.7 billion (62% of Consumption)

– June ~343 Million Barrels / $39.0 billion ($902,878 per minute)

• 9/12 US Average Prices: – Gasoline: $3.63 per Gallon

– Diesel: $3.83 per Gallon

• Transportation Demand

-- 71% of US imports

By The Numbers – U.S. / China

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

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
