Landi Renzo Group Presentation STAR Conference 2019

Milan, March 20th 2019

Landi Renzo Group designs, produces and distributes at worldwide level highly advanced integrated solutions, from gas distribution infrastructures to alternative fuel systems

LPG: Liquid Petroleum Gas; CNG: Compressed Natural Gas; LNG: Liquid Natural Gas; RNG: Renewable Natural Gas

In a world that demands sustainable development, LRG is at the forefront with concrete solutions to create a cleaner environment today and in the future

  • Unique expertise in modifying powertrains and vehicles lay-out (Passenger cars, LCV and HDs) to make it running on gas (CNG, LNG, LPG, Biomethane)
  • Full system integration of gas components into the system
  • Development and production of CNG / LNG / LPG components for passenger cars and Medium & Heavy Duty vehicles

Automotive Infrastructure

  • Gas treatment (reinjection, gas flare, …) during all upstream process phases, including gas transportation along pipelines
  • Bio-methane production from biogas at biomass plant, and grid reinjection
  • Refueling stations full infrastructure

Gas, in its different forms, brings consistent advantage over conventional fossil fuels

LRG is a global provider of highly engineered clean fuel solutions for Heavy Duty and Passenger Car

  • Landi Renzo has a consolidated expertise on the integrated development of clean fuel solutions:
  • o Know-how of complete fuel system layout for different technologies and applications (Passenger cars, Bus & Heavy Duty, Off-road vehicles)
  • o Deep understanding of engine control strategy and system, to optimize the performance-toconsumption ratio
  • o Constant upgrade to lead clean automotive evolution and full compliance to the most stringent emission regulations
  • Landi Renzo Group is entering the Hydrogen - Fuel Cell segment with integrated systems and components, collaborating with leading companies in the segment

Safe-CEC produces and sells CNG compression's applications for CNG and RNG, starting to enter into LNG

High flow rate CNG stations for trailers. Solution based on heavy duty compressors, high efficiency and performances. Driven by EM or GE.

Mechanical or hydraulic compressors are suitable for daughter stations to meet the customer needs.

Turn-key equipment for trailer installations that doesn't need external power supply.

Application for RNG

Raw gas booster for biogas boosting integrated in the upgrading plant able to manage very low pressure.

Special materials suitable for wet and corrosive gas applications.

Grid injection Compression system able to work with all different biogas upgrading plant in term of technologies and performances. Heavy duty compressors suitable for 24/7 applications.

RNG stations for trailers refilling and public or private fleets. Solution based on heavy duty compressors for the highest performances and efficiency. Driven by electric motor with variable speed.

World Passenger Vehicles sales are steadily growing, expected to reach 108M by 2024, with more than 1,3bn circulating cars in 2024 with diesel declining

  • Many European OEMs are seeing gas-mobility a reliable "bridge" towards EVs but also are funding a consistent part of their next year sales on alternative fuels (mainly LPG but also CNG). Until now LPG has played a leading role in gas-mobility for passenger cars and it is foreseen it will continue in the next 5 years
  • In other parts of the world, like India, Russia, Rest of Asia, LatAm & Mexico, passenger car gas-mobility is considered even more as one of the main fuel for future mobility, also supported by incentives and investment on the infrastructure
  • Vehicles in use keep constantly growing, offering a large market potential for After Market sales

The automotive industry is facing a transformational time with different challenges and opportunities for suppliers

Environmental protection awareness

  • Tighter Emission limits requires expensive systems, even for OEMs
  • Declining sales of diesel vehicles forcing OEMs to find quick, efficient and costcompetitive solutions

New technologies are transforming the automotive sector

  • Regulations are pushing technology towards alternative powertrain configurations (BEV, Hybrid, CNG-LNG, Hydrogen/fuel cell), requiring dedicated infrastructure developments
  • Buying decision will be affected by different factors based on geographical area (US, Europe, China and RoW), consumer segments (mass, premium) and habits, with a specific attention to TCO

Transformation of the automotive value chain

  • Upcoming Automotive Industry "disruption" will fundamentally change the Industry requiring the need to rethink overall strategy
  • OEMs will need to sustain historical higher level of investment in R&D, with Suppliers success factors will be the capacity to innovate and add value to OEMs, while implementing a lower operating cost base

Gas-mobility will play a key role in this changing scenario, representing a real & "ready-to-use" in all vehicles segments

Alternative Fuelled (LPG & CNG) Passenger Cars sales are still a niche, expected to grow in the next years


Currently estimated in 1-1-,5% of total new sales, to reach up to 5%, and even more depending on the
development of infrastructure in specific markets (eg. India)

Almost all main OEMs have CNG / LPG cars in the catalogue, with strong growth in emerging market

Current OEMs CNG / LPG programs cover 2022 –
2025 horizon: next years' demand is expected to
grow having OEMs leveraging Alternative Fuels Cars offering as important part of their own
offering
Strategic Approach:

Europe: mature market but with potential growth, consolidate LPG leadership; follow closely work
with other stakeholders to boost CNG evolution and evaluating also hybrid-gas solution as a potential
evolution

LatAm, India, Russia and MEA, achieve leadership position through organic growth; while also
consolidating JV in India
