8Environmental Regulations
9We Are Doing Our Part
We know trucks are part of the problem we accept
responsibility to be part of the solution.
10Environmental Regulations
- North America has most stringent regulations
near zero soot and nitrous oxides - Euro 6 aligns with EPA emissions standards
- Globally, other countries lagging
- Regulations affecting equipment options
- Next step is regulation of GHG
- One less gallon of fuel 22.3 less lbs. CO2 in
the air
11GHG Rule Impact on Total Vehicle
- Increase in
- Aerodynamic features
- Low rolling resistance tires
- Programmed idle shutdown
- Speed limiters
- Advanced automated manual transmissions
- Highway Tractor Goals
- Reduce engine emissions 3 by 2014, and another
3 by 2017 - Reduce total vehicle fuel consumption 20 by 2017

12Vertical Integration
13Benefits of Vertical Integration
- Best way to optimize total vehicle quality,
performance - Delivers for customers
- Will allow us to deliver truly connected truck
14Global Focus on Vertical Integration
- Greater vehicle efficiency
- Globally, focus has been on integrated products
- North America now moving toward global model, but
geographic size and culture will demand more
options
15Vertical Integration
- Volvo power penetration 79
- Volvo I-Shift penetration 46
- Volvo I-Shift now standard across North American
products
16Alternative Fuels
17Alternative Fuels
- The ideal would be
- Plentiful / renewable
- Green
- Low emissions
- Environmentally friendly
- High-energy
- Onboard storage / range
- Fuel economy
- Infrastructure-friendly
- Handling, transport, storage
- Safe
18Alternative Fuels Natural Gas
- Natural gas gaining market acceptance
- Economics
- Less than diesel
- Domestically available
- Abundant supply
- Reduced environmental impact vs. diesel
19Predicted Natural Gas Market Development
Applications Time
Refuse, Vocational, Local Distribution
Segments with home base fueling, not dependent on
the general infrastructure
Applications with fixed routes where
infrastructure is secured and range requirements
are less
Vocational, Local Distribution, Regional Haul
Long-distance applications in corridors with
secured infrastructure
Long Haul
20Considerations
- Is it right for the application?
- Acquisition cost and residual value
- Maintenance infrastructure and requirements
- Safety and training (drivers and technicians)
- Supply and delivery infrastructure
- Standardization of fuel quality
- Design of fueling system
- delivery stations developed for application
- fast-fill (highway)
- slow-fill (refuse)
21Connected Vehicles
22A Smart Truck
- Slow down if approaching a stationary object too
fast - Remember a road already driven and optimize the
fuel consumption - Wake up a drowsy driver
- Self-diagnose issues and notify a dealer of
service - Re-route from a congested road
- Talk to other trucks to avoid accidents
23Connected Vehicles
Ultimately, a truck may never be offline
24Connected Vehicle Platform
- Connects
- driver to vehicle
- vehicle to OEM
- OEM to decision-maker
- decision-maker to dealer
- dealer to driver
- Integrates information from the vehicle in
conjunction with Volvos service management tools
25Freight Efficiency
26Global Infrastructure
- Increased freight volumes expected as increased
world trade and demand for mobility put pressure
on existing system - Boston Consulting Group estimates that 35 to 45
trillion USD is needed over the next 20 years to
satisfy the rising need for infrastructure
globally
27U.S. Infrastructure
- Ports are investing to accommodate the
anticipated growth in volumes over the next
decade. - The Heartland Corridor and The Crescent
Corridor are anticipated to keep East Coast
railway system relatively uncongested in the
coming decades. - About 150,000 miles of road will be rebuilt by
2016. - Freight tonnage up 21 by 2023
- 42 of major urban highways are congested
- 226 billion hours sitting in traffic
- Annually, congestion costs trucks moving goods
27 billion in wasted time/fuel

Mobility Report and U.S. Freight Transportation
Forecast to 2023
28Panama Canal Expansion
- By 2015, capacity will double and allow for
passage of larger ships - Expected to change shipping patterns, increasing
traffic at East Coast ports - Shift from longhaul to regional and local truck
traffic - Move toward more daycab tractors
