At GM, we believe tomorrows automobiles
must be flexible enough to accommodate
many different energy sources. And a
key part of that flexibility will be enabled by
the development of electrically driven cars.

Ethanol potential assumes 50% FFV production from all OEMs from 2012, and the FFV parc uses E85. Adjusted for energy equivalency with gasoline. Oil information source: EIA 2007 Annual
Energy Outlook Table 11.
E85 Ethanol Has Even Greater Potential to Reduce
Oil Imports if 50% of All U.S. Vehicles Were FFV
General Motors & Coskata Partnership
GM senior leadership is committed to enhancing the commercialization of cellulosic ethanol
GM has reviewed the leading cellulosic ethanol technologies and potential producers & selected to first
partner with Coskata
Offers unique technology
Utilizes versatile input materials
Offers cost-competitive ethanol production
Makes sense environmentally from a lifecycle perspective
Coskata and GM will work together on:
Testing fuel from Coskata pilot plant in GM vehicles
Explore using GM plant waste to make ethanol and assist GM goal of zero landfill use by its manufacturing facilities
Making ethanol from renewable sources, used tires, and municipal waste
Global marketing of next generation ethanol

General Motors & Coskata Partnership
What does Coskata do?
Using proprietary microorganisms and patented bioreactor designs, the
company will produce ethanol for under US$1.00 per gallon almost
anywhere in the world, from a wide variety of inputs.
GM has taken an undisclosed strategic ownership position of Coskata
to work on rapid commercialization of The Next Generation of
Ethanol

Coskata The Next Generation of Ethanol
Efficient
Able to make more than 100 gallons of ethanol from 1 ton of dry material
Uses less than one gallon of fresh water per gallon of ethanol produced, compared with three to four gallons for
ethanol today
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 84% compared to conventional gasoline
Returns up to 7.7 times as much energy as is used in the ethanol production process
Affordable
Ethanol produced for under $1 per gallon, which should equate to 50 cents to $1.00 less than gasoline at the pump
Flexible
Multiple non-food sources are used to make ethanol
Geographically flexible by using resources from almost every country around the globe

Fuel Solutions Campaign Creative Approach

What is a Two-Mode Hybrid?
A traditional One-Mode Hybrid typically has one
torque splitting arrangement and no fixed mechanical
ratios
GMs Two-Mode Hybrid uses low & high speed
electric continuously variable transmission modes
combined with a fixed gear transmission. One
transmission with:
- 2 Electric motors
- 4 Fixed-gear ratios
Provides higher efficiency and no reduction in
capabilities or performance
The Worlds Only 2-Mode Hybrid System
25% overall fuel economy Improvement
50% improvement in city mpg
Key Benefits of the 2 Mode system:
Electric start at low speeds
Less fuel consumption
at low speed and idle
AutoStop at 0 mph (engine off)
Longer Active Fuel Management
bandwidth due to Hybrid electric assist
Regenerative Braking System

mechanical ratios
Prius uses 1 electric motor and a Continuous Variable Trans
Only provides hybrid benefit at low speed
Sacrifices payload and towing capability
GMs 2-Mode hybrid uses two electric motors combined with a fixed gear 4-speed transmission
Low speed and high speed fuel economy advantages
No loss in capability
No loss in performance
New for 2008i
How does a 2-Mode Hybrid save fuel?
While Stopped:
Auto Stop at 0 MPH. Battery power provides accessories power, AC/heat, power steering, etc.
Low Speeds:
Battery power alone drives vehicle at speeds up to about 30 MPH
Mid-High Speeds:
Active Fuel Management 4-cylinder mode is utilized to a much greater extent
Hybrid electric boost provides enough power to only need 4-cylinders at highway speeds
Results: 50% City & 30% Overall MPG Improvement
