 Increase ethanol production (2.5x by 2020) and
transportation infrastructure (e.g. Logum pipelines)
in Brazil
 Many countries with ethanol consumption targets
(e.g. China - blend of 10% in gasoline by 2020)
 Global Expansion with cellulosic ethanol (e.g.
cellulosic ethanol plant in commercial scale in Italy by
2012)
Ethanol Generator Sets
“Zero Carbon” solution for replacing diesel gensets
Target Market
and
Applications
 Replacement of diesel gensets in stationary
applications (power generation and mechanical drive)
 Customer demand for energy safety (continuous
generation and standby), and cost reduction (peak)
 Family of ethanol motor generators from 250 to 1,000 kW
VSE Solution
Competitive
Positioning
 1st generation of 300kW genset is commercially available now
 2nd generation will expand power range and provide technical improvements
 “Zero Carbon” energy generation
 Expected Competitiveness in areas with ethanol production and/or incentives.
VSE Ethanol Generator Set is
certified by ABNT according to
ISO 8528.
Modify diesel engines to work with bio-fuel for
agricultural and industrial applications.
Two main alternatives can be considered:
1 - Maintain diesel cycle including a ethanol / E85 PFI system
and using a small pilot diesel to start ignition;
2- Change to Otto cycle removing whole diesel system and
add an Ethanol system.
Alternative 1 : Compression Ignition
DIESEL / ETHANOL OR DIESEL / E85
New ECU
Calibration development for:
•Maximum E85 usage
•Vehicle driveability
•Base engine
•Emission
New Turbo Calibration
Add a injector port
between cylinder
head and intake
manifold
New Wiring Harness
Possible change in valves
and valve seats for ethanol
compatibility.
Add E85 fuel
system :
•Pump
•Tank
•Lines
Alternative 2 : Spark Ignition
100% ETHANOL OR E85
New Turbocharger

Hybrid Driveline Systems
Global trend of vehicle hybridization is motivated by fuel prices,
environmental concerns and urbanization
Global trend of vehicle hybridization...
(% hybrid vehicles/new vehicles sales)
... creates opportunity for suppliers of hybrid
propulsion systems
Beginning of the hybridization process
MIT - Ligth Trucks
 Government with a key role by offering
incentives and subsidies (e.g. subsidies in the
U.S. and England, Tax exemption in Japan)
 Growing presence of heavy hybrid vehicles in
the world
Local Market
 Brazil plays a distinct role in heavy vehicles
market (4th largest producer with 5% of global
production)
Players Reaction
 Players, including automakers, are developing
hybrid solutions with own structure or through
partnerships

Target
Markets and
Applications
prices, environmental concerns and urbanization
 Focus on “Stop & Go” applications (urban buses and
delivery trucks) – regenerative braking cycle
 Potential expansion to other markets and
applications.
 Hybrid driveline systems for heavy vehicles (driveline is
VSE Solution
composed of a combustion engine, electric engine,
generator, battery, inverter and control system).
 Bio Fuel flexibility (ethanol), reduction in fuel
consumption and maintenance costs, with lower
emissions and noise.
