Summary of Findings
Exel/DHL conducted fuel economy studies. They solely managed and
collected the data. The results are reported below.
In Lubbock Texas at the Penske Truck Leasing facility, Exel/DHL
managed the creation of a baseline, installation of the Rentar Fuel
Catalyst and collection of the “post” data. The results as
documented in the attached report due to the Rentar Fuel Catalyst
were a 5.1% average improvement in fuel consumption
improvement on five Class 8 trucks.
In Lima Ohio at the NationaLease facility, Exel/DHL managed a
SAE/TMC Type IV fuel economy test procedure using ten Class 8
Trucks. The ten vehicles were tested to establish they were all
producing a similar consumption rate. The Rentar Fuel Catalyst’s
were then installed on five of the vehicles and the other five became
the “control trucks”. The results, as documented in the attached
report were a 4.59% average improvement in fuel consumption
improvement on the five trucks with the Rentar Fuel Catalyst
installed.
The effect of using the Rentar Fuel Catalyst on the Exel/DHL truck fleet
based on each vehicle averaging 105,000 miles per year and purchasing
fuel at an average of $2.49 per gallon would be a fuel cost reduction of
$2270 per truck or $227,000 per 100 trucks annually. The return on
investment (ROI) or repayment of the cost of the catalyst would be
approximately 8 months.
Test Protocol
Lubbock Texas - Controlled Comparison Testing
Exel/DHL selected 5 similar trucks with Detroit Diesel Engines.
Beginning and ending odometer readings were taken by Exel/DHL
(Llano) Manager Lyndon Read for Phase 1 and Phase 3. Lyndon also
supplied the fuel usage for each truck in each phase. Fuel usage was
acquired from Exel’s official fuel billing records, provided by Penske,
to ensure accuracy.
The testing was conducted at the Penske Truck Leasing facility in
Lubbock Texas. The 5 trucks were driven over similar routes and in
similar weather conditions throughout the duration of the fuel
economy study. At the conclusion of the Comparison Study in
Lubbock, Texas, the fleet mileage per gallon was compared prior to
4
fuel catalyst installation (Phase 1) to fleet mileage per gallon after
fuel catalyst installation (Phase 3).
Testing Timeline
Phase 1 – 12/5/05 – 1/8/06 31 Days
Baseline information was collected on 5 trucks.
Phase 2 – 1/9/06 – 1/21/06 12 Days
Break-in Period – The Rentar Fuel Catalysts were installed.
The engine was allowed to operate for 12 days before data was
taken.
Phase 3 – 1/22/06 – 2/26/06 35 Days
Data was collected from the 5 trucks that were now
operating with the fuel catalyst in place for comparison
to the baseline data.
Data was collected over 66 days during which a total of 123,954
miles were accumulated.
The fuel consumption improvement was 5.1%
Lima Ohio – SAE Type IV (Testing With Control Vehicles)
Exel/DHL selected 10 similar trucks with 2005 Cummins ISM
Engines. These trucks were randomly divided into two groups of 5.
The group that did not have the fuel catalyst installed was designated
the Control Group. The group that had the catalyst installed was
designated the Pre-Catalyst Group (prior to installation of the
catalyst) and the Catalyst Group (after installation of the catalyst).
Beginning and ending odometer readings were taken by Exel Manager
Scott Reedy for Phase 1 and Phase 3. Scott also supplied the fuel
usage for each truck in each phase. Fuel usage was acquired from
Exel’s official fuel billing records, provided by NationaLease, to ensure
accuracy.
This was an extremely large Type IV Study in that 10 trucks were
used and 289,300 miles of data was recorded. Potential variables
were accounted for and neutralized through the use of a Control
Group.
Neutralized Variables
5
 weather conditions
 drivers
 routes
 loads
 trucks with 2005 Cummins ISM Engines
After the baseline MPG was established for the Control Group and the
Pre-Catalyst Group (Phase 1), it was noted that the difference
between these two groups was only .11%, or roughly 1/9th of one
percent. With this in mind, a general baseline for all 10 trucks was
established.
At the conclusion of the SAE Type IV Study (Phase 3) in Lima, Ohio,
the Mpg of the two groups (Control Group and Catalyst Group) of
trucks were compared independently to the established baseline
(Phase 1) and the slight Control Group increase was deducted from
the large Catalyst Group increase to determine the overall
effectiveness of the Rentar Fuel Catalyst. This test was conducted at
the NationaLease facility in Lima Ohio.
Testing Timeline –
Phase 1 – 12/5/05 – 1/15/06 38 Days
Baseline information was collected from the Control Group (5
trucks) and also from the Pre-Catalyst Group (5 trucks), which
would eventually have the Rentar fuel catalyst installed.
Phase 2 – 1/16/06 – 2/1/06 15 Days
Break-in Period – The Rentar Fuel Catalysts were only
installed on the 5 Pre-Catalyst trucks. The engine was allowed
to operate for 15 days before data was taken. The Control
Group of 5 trucks was untouched.
Phase 3 – 2/2/06 – 3/31/06 57 Days
Data was collected from the 5 Catalyst Group trucks and the 5
Control Group trucks to be compared to baseline data and to
each other in this phase.
95 Days of Data Collection – 289,300 Miles
The fuel consumption improvement was 4.59%.

*Type IV Study - In this type of study, we see the following to determine
final savings. An increase in the Catalyst Group from the baseline of 5.474
Mpg to a final fleet reading of 5.790 Mpg, which indicates an increase of
5.77%. The Control Group moved from the baseline of 5.474 Mpg to a
final fleet reading of 5.539 Mpg, an increase of 1.18%.
5.77% - 1.18% = 4.59% (Final overall Lima savings in fuel costs).

Fuel Economy Savings Study Rentar Catalyst

  • 1. 1 Fuel Economy Savings Study Testing Conducted and Data Accumulated By EXEL / DHL At The Penske Truck Leasing Facility Lubbock, Texas and NationaLease Facility In Lima, Ohio Purpose of Testing To Track Fuel Economy With And Without The Rentar Fuel Catalyst Type of Testing Five Class 8 Trucks – Baseline Vs. With Rentar Fuel Catalyst Ten Class 8 Trucks SEA Type IV Study Using Five Control Vehicles Date of Testing Lubbock, Texas Lima, Ohio Comparison Study Type IV Study 12/5/05 – 2/26/06 12/5/05 – 3/31/06
  • 2. 2 Installation of Detroit Diesel Series 60
  • 3. 3 Summary of Findings Exel/DHL conducted fuel economy studies. They solely managed and collected the data. The results are reported below. In Lubbock Texas at the Penske Truck Leasing facility, Exel/DHL managed the creation of a baseline, installation of the Rentar Fuel Catalyst and collection of the “post” data. The results as documented in the attached report due to the Rentar Fuel Catalyst were a 5.1% average improvement in fuel consumption improvement on five Class 8 trucks. In Lima Ohio at the NationaLease facility, Exel/DHL managed a SAE/TMC Type IV fuel economy test procedure using ten Class 8 Trucks. The ten vehicles were tested to establish they were all producing a similar consumption rate. The Rentar Fuel Catalyst’s were then installed on five of the vehicles and the other five became the “control trucks”. The results, as documented in the attached report were a 4.59% average improvement in fuel consumption improvement on the five trucks with the Rentar Fuel Catalyst installed. The effect of using the Rentar Fuel Catalyst on the Exel/DHL truck fleet based on each vehicle averaging 105,000 miles per year and purchasing fuel at an average of $2.49 per gallon would be a fuel cost reduction of $2270 per truck or $227,000 per 100 trucks annually. The return on investment (ROI) or repayment of the cost of the catalyst would be approximately 8 months. Test Protocol Lubbock Texas - Controlled Comparison Testing Exel/DHL selected 5 similar trucks with Detroit Diesel Engines. Beginning and ending odometer readings were taken by Exel/DHL (Llano) Manager Lyndon Read for Phase 1 and Phase 3. Lyndon also supplied the fuel usage for each truck in each phase. Fuel usage was acquired from Exel’s official fuel billing records, provided by Penske, to ensure accuracy. The testing was conducted at the Penske Truck Leasing facility in Lubbock Texas. The 5 trucks were driven over similar routes and in similar weather conditions throughout the duration of the fuel economy study. At the conclusion of the Comparison Study in Lubbock, Texas, the fleet mileage per gallon was compared prior to
  • 4. 4 fuel catalyst installation (Phase 1) to fleet mileage per gallon after fuel catalyst installation (Phase 3). Testing Timeline Phase 1 – 12/5/05 – 1/8/06 31 Days Baseline information was collected on 5 trucks. Phase 2 – 1/9/06 – 1/21/06 12 Days Break-in Period – The Rentar Fuel Catalysts were installed. The engine was allowed to operate for 12 days before data was taken. Phase 3 – 1/22/06 – 2/26/06 35 Days Data was collected from the 5 trucks that were now operating with the fuel catalyst in place for comparison to the baseline data. Data was collected over 66 days during which a total of 123,954 miles were accumulated. The fuel consumption improvement was 5.1% Lima Ohio – SAE Type IV (Testing With Control Vehicles) Exel/DHL selected 10 similar trucks with 2005 Cummins ISM Engines. These trucks were randomly divided into two groups of 5. The group that did not have the fuel catalyst installed was designated the Control Group. The group that had the catalyst installed was designated the Pre-Catalyst Group (prior to installation of the catalyst) and the Catalyst Group (after installation of the catalyst). Beginning and ending odometer readings were taken by Exel Manager Scott Reedy for Phase 1 and Phase 3. Scott also supplied the fuel usage for each truck in each phase. Fuel usage was acquired from Exel’s official fuel billing records, provided by NationaLease, to ensure accuracy. This was an extremely large Type IV Study in that 10 trucks were used and 289,300 miles of data was recorded. Potential variables were accounted for and neutralized through the use of a Control Group. Neutralized Variables
  • 5. 5  weather conditions  drivers  routes  loads  trucks with 2005 Cummins ISM Engines After the baseline MPG was established for the Control Group and the Pre-Catalyst Group (Phase 1), it was noted that the difference between these two groups was only .11%, or roughly 1/9th of one percent. With this in mind, a general baseline for all 10 trucks was established. At the conclusion of the SAE Type IV Study (Phase 3) in Lima, Ohio, the Mpg of the two groups (Control Group and Catalyst Group) of trucks were compared independently to the established baseline (Phase 1) and the slight Control Group increase was deducted from the large Catalyst Group increase to determine the overall effectiveness of the Rentar Fuel Catalyst. This test was conducted at the NationaLease facility in Lima Ohio. Testing Timeline – Phase 1 – 12/5/05 – 1/15/06 38 Days Baseline information was collected from the Control Group (5 trucks) and also from the Pre-Catalyst Group (5 trucks), which would eventually have the Rentar fuel catalyst installed. Phase 2 – 1/16/06 – 2/1/06 15 Days Break-in Period – The Rentar Fuel Catalysts were only installed on the 5 Pre-Catalyst trucks. The engine was allowed to operate for 15 days before data was taken. The Control Group of 5 trucks was untouched. Phase 3 – 2/2/06 – 3/31/06 57 Days Data was collected from the 5 Catalyst Group trucks and the 5 Control Group trucks to be compared to baseline data and to each other in this phase. 95 Days of Data Collection – 289,300 Miles The fuel consumption improvement was 4.59%.
