Fuel Efficiency Test Protocol

Diesel Fuel Efficiency Protocol from the Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company Ltd.

This independent fuel efficiency test was conducted by Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company Ltd. to measure the impact of Cerma STM-3 engine treatment on diesel fuel economy under controlled conditions.

Fuel Efficiency Protocol Objective

To establish a Trip Data "Base Line" which is conducted under controlled conditions on a specific vehicle (Cab or Cab and Trailer). All pertinent data must be accurately detailed and recorded.

Test Equipment & Details

Parameter	Details
Testing Organization	Canadian Hydrogen Energy Company Ltd.
Engine	CAT 430
Test Date	June 3, 2005
Test Route	100-mile start-return route
Data Collection	Base Trip + 1 Trip Collection Session with STM-3

Testing Protocol Steps

Base Line Data Collection

1. Establish Trip Data "Base Line" under controlled conditions
2. Base Line data collection performed with HFI Unit "OFF"
3. Perform Trip Collection Session(s) with HFI Unit "ON" (STM-3 added)
4. Each subsequent Trip Collection Session has selective parameters varied by design
5. Base Line Data Point compared to all other Trip Data Collection Sessions

Trip Preparation

• Select a start-return route of 100 miles
• Ensure the vehicle (Cab only or Cab and Trailer) is readied for the trip
• Check/correct/record tire pressure
• Fill fuel tank(s) to maximum and record fuel data
• Weigh vehicle and driver at certified scale
• Record atmospheric temperature
• Record prevailing wind data

Trip Execution

• Record odometer reading at start
• Ensure HR unit is OFF
• Record time of trip "START"
• Ensure constant speed
• Reach half-way point and begin return portion
• Arrive to start location
• Record time and odometer reading
• Weigh vehicle and driver at same certified scale
• Transfer data to Analysis Spreadsheet

Trip Data Collection with STM-3

After Base Data Collection is completed:

• Ready to collect Trip Data with STM-3 added and compare to Base Data
• Ensure minimum of 1 hour cool down between tests
• Ensure maximum amounts of variables are the same as for Base Data (temp, wind, driver, weight, tire pressure, etc.)

Why This Protocol Matters

• Controlled conditions – Eliminates variables that could skew results
• Independent testing – Third-party verification
• Repeatable methodology – Scientific approach to measurement
• Real-world application – Tested on actual commercial diesel engine
