(1120 Simpson Way, Escondido, California 92029), has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle pollution control systems, and therefore, the On—Demand Hydrogen. Enhanced Combustion System device is exempt from the prohibitions in Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for all 1960—2009 model year light/medium/heavy heavy—duty on—road diesel engines between 5.0 liters to 16.2 liters. The On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device consists of a metal/plastic case containing an 8—quart water reservoir, an electrolysis generator cell, ~ various electrical components, electrical wiring and connectors an electrolyte, and — plastic supply hose for the hydrogen gas. This Executive Order is based on emission test results using Heavy—Duty Federal Test Procedure Transient Cycle test submitted by Hydrogen Power Systems, Inc. with the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device. If evidence provides the Air Resources Board with reasons to suspect that the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device will affect the durability of the emission control system, Hydrogen Power Systems, Inc. shall be required to submit durability data to show that the durability of the vehicle emission control system is not, in fact, affected and/or that the add—on or modified parts demonstrate adequate durability. | This Executive Orderis valid provided that installé'tion instructions for the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device do not recommend tuning the vehicles to specifications different from those of the vehicle manufacturer. _ Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device, as exempt by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s emission control system, shall invalidate this Executive Order.

Marketing of the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device using ‘identification other than that shown in ‘this. Executive Order or for an application other . than that listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited: unless prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board. \ Exemption of the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device shall not be construed as exemption to sell, offer for sale, or advertise any component of the kit as an mdtvudual devnc:e This Executlve Order shall not apply to any On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser. > This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the efféct the use of the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer. No:—claim of any kind, such as "Approved by the Air Resources Board," may be made with respect to the action taken herein ln any advertising or other oral or written > communication. In addition to the foregoing, the Air Resources Board reserves the right in the future to review this Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of ~ California Code of Regulations, Title 13 Sec’uon 2222 et seq. .

AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY CLAIMS OF THE APPLICANT CONCERNING ANTI—POLLUTION BENEFITS OR ANY ALLEGED .BENEFITS OF HYDROGEN _ POWER SYSTEMS, INC.‘S ON—DEMAND HYDROGEN ENHANCED COMBUSTION SYSTEM DEVICE. Violation of any of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of this Executive Order. The Executive Order may berevoked only after a ten day written notice of intention to revoke the Executive Order, in which, period ‘the holder of the Executive Order may request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation. If a hearing is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request, and the Executive Order may not be revoked until a determmatlonis made after the hearing thatgrounds | for revocation exist. {‘}’{* _ Executed at El Monte, California, this 2~~ day of S ptember,201,'3.

EVALUATION SUMMARY Manufacturer Name: Hydrogen Power Systems, Inc. Name of Device: On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System Background: ' Hydrogen Power Systems Inc. of 1120 Slmpson Way, Escondido, California 92029 has applied for exemption from the. prohibitions in Section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code for its On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device. The — device is designed for all 19860—2009 model year (MY) light/medium/heavy heavy—duty on—road diesel engines between 5.0 liters to 16.2 liters. Recommendation: Grant exemption to Hydrogen Power Systems, Inc. as requested and issue Executive Order D—.715 Device Description: The On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustlon System device produces hydrogen through an electrolysis process by supplying water from a reservoir containing distilled water and an activator (potassium hydroxide) to an electrolysis dry cell containing titanium plates that are supplied electricity from the vehicle‘s battery. The device consists of a 8—quart water reservoir, an electrolysis dry cell (which contains the positive, negative, and neutral stainless steel plates), various electrical components, _electrical wiring and connectors, and a EDPM rubber supply hose for the hydrogen gas. The device is connected to the vehicle‘s battery through a power controller so that _ hydrogen gas is only produced when the engine is operating. . Discussion/Basis for the Recommendation: ‘ This exemption is based on the following emission tests Conducted on two heavy—duty diesel engines with Hydrogen Power Systems, Inc.‘s On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device installed: 1. _FTP transient cycle test on a 1999 MY Mack E7 Series 11.9 liter diesel engine. 2. FTP transient cycle, Euro III ESC 13—mode steady—state, and NTE tests on a 2007 MY Caterpillar C15 Series 11.9 liter diesel engine.

All testing was conducted at Olson EcolLogic Engine Testlng Laboratorlesin Fullerton, California

FTP transient cycle testing on the 1999 MY Mack E7 Series engine and 2007 MY Caterpillar C15 Series engine modified with the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device did not cause emissions to exceed baseline by more than the allowed limits of 10 percent for HC, NMHC, and NOx and 15 percent on CO and PM which is acceptable for exemption. EURO III ESC and NTE emission testing on the 2007 MY Caterpilliar C15 Series engine modified with the On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device showed that the modified engine met the > exhaust.emission standards. . Similar results are expected when Hydrogen Power Systems, Inc.‘s On—Demand Hydrogen Enhanced Combustion System device is used on the 1960—2009 MY light/medium/heavy heavy—duty on—road diesel engines between 5.0 liters to 16.2 liters as stated in this apphcatlon _
