FUEL ECONOMY TEST - REAL LIFE TESTING

MESILLA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS Validates Ex-Guard’s Performance

Quick & Easy Installation: An Ex-Guard ® takes less than 1 hour, saving you valu- able time and money. Fuel Efficient: Aerodynamic design prevents fuel economy loss as proven in an Ex-Guard test study by Mesilla Valley Transportation Solutions. Price: Fleets face a per vehicle average of $10,000+ in parts, repairs, and down- time alone! Ex-Guards ® are affordably priced and more than pay for themselves

10-speed automated manual transmissions. The tractors pulled 53-ft Hyundai dry vans equipped with Michelin Energy Guard aerodynamic systems, and both tractors and trailers were fitted with single wide-base tires. “Typically, interfering with the airflow on a vehicle can impact fuel economy significantly,” said Daryl Bear. “However, Ex-Guard products minimize their affect on aerodynamic drag because they are mounted several inches away from the front of the vehicle and are designed with round tubing, allowing air to continue flowing. Ex-Guard grille guards are not a fuel saving product, but our test- ing should provide fleets with the confidence to consider their use based on maintenance and operational costs as opposed to fuel economy losses.”

Las Cruces, New Mexico – May 15, 2019 – MVT Solutions , a provider of breakthrough fuel economy testing and design and development services for the trucking industry, today announced that its evalu- ation of the Ex-Guard LT series grille guards, manufactured by Ex- Guard Industries, provides front end damage protection to trucks which have little to no negative impact on the trucks overall fuel efficiency. “Our testing found the Ex-Guard LT-325 grille guard had no dis- cernable effect on fuel economy while the LT-350 had only a small negative impact of -0.51%, which is a smaller impact than the tractor’s side mirrors,” stated Daryl Bear , lead engineer & COO at MVT Solutions. “The results are what we expected based on feedback from fleets that already use our product, but we asked MVT Solutions to quanti- fy the fuel consumption impact of our grille guards in an attempt to completely alleviate any concerns about MPG loss with our guards,” Dennis Geipel, a representative from Ex-Guard added. “We chose MVT Solutions for these trials because of their reputation in fuel economy testing and wanted to eliminate any questionable vari- ables that might have remained. These verified results will now allow fleets to make a well-informed decision about adding Ex-Guard grille guards based on their ability to prevent costly front-end damage.” The certified testing by MVT Solutions was developed from race car engineering and advanced vehicle test methods using sen- sors and recording systems that collect data on fuel consumption, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, driver behavior and other vari- ables that affect fuel consumption. The data is analyzed using MVTS proprietary methods. For the Ex-Guard evaluations, two test vehicles ran simultaneous- ly at 65 MPH on a 9-mile circle track. The 2019 International LT models were specified with Cummins X15 engines and Eaton

“ Since installing your product, we estimate that we have already recovered our costs of the product. Having Ex-Guards on our fleet has saved us from front end damage such as parking lot collisions, animals, and cars on icy roads. Our drivers like the product and the extra security they provide. ” Jeff Holmes | Director of Maintenance

HOLMES FREIGHT LINES, INC BRAMPTON, ONTARIO, CANADA

“ We run Kenworth, International, Peter- bilt and Freightliner trucks. Since switching 42 trucks over to the Ex-Guard XG-125 and XG-150 model grille guards, we’ve been very impressed with their performance and will not run any other brand of front-end protection. These grille guards are designed exception- ally well. The coating is far superior to any competing guards and if something must be replaced such as hardware or the upper sec- tion of the guard, it installs seamlessly. We hope to install Ex-Guard on all 140 units we run. As a service manager, I love these guards and they are a pleasure to service and maintain. ” John “Bucky” Falish | Shop Team Leader CONTRACT TRANSPORT SERVICES GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN “ Ex-Guard has been a key factor in protecting our fleet night after night. With the dangers of running hundreds of miles through our extensive line haul operation, having a reliable product to count on is one of our keys to success. The quality and du- rability of their product is exceptional, and the customer service is second to none. Time and time again they have shown us how they are a world class organization by standing by their product with exceptional service and response time. Exceeding our expectations on every trans- action is the reason why we will be partnering with Ex-Guard for years to come. ” Jeremy Cutchens | VP of Operations VALLEY CARTAGE HUDSON, WISCONSIN

“ Ex-Guards are easy to put on and easy to fold down. We have them on all of our night and line haul trucks and have been really im- pressed with them. NTC has run some other brands previously but they didn’t hold up and our hoods would still be lost when the guard bent back into the hood. In short, the Ex-Guard is a heck of a guard! ” Dave Brening | Maintenance NEBRASKA TRANSPORT COMPANY (NTC) GERING, NEBRASKA

“ Since purchasing the Ex-Guard XG-150 for our entire OTR fleet over a year ago, we have experienced around 20 deer collisions, a couple of moose collisions and one elk collision. These collisions have only ever resulted in headlight damage – a far cry from the damaged grilles, headlights and radiators that we once experi- enced. We have also had numerous bump-ins at travel stops where tractor/trailers and auto- mobiles have backed into our equipment, and none of these have resulted in any damage to our equipment. Without a doubt, these bumper guards have been one of the best investments we have made in recent years. If any decision mak- er is concerned about the ROI on this product, rest assured, the return can be realized within the first 12-18 months factoring in repair costs, lost revenue due to downtime and other indirect costs. ” Craig Poole | Vice President QUEST GLOBAL CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA

“ We have hit numerous deer, had a few stationary vehicle incidents, and one acci- dent involving a stationary steel post filled with concrete. A ll of these incidents would have been much more expensive to repair had it not been for the Ex-Guard . Before we started us- ing your guards, we would typically see bumper, hood, head light, grill, and/or radiator dam- ages when we had a deer strike. Our newest series of trucks also has a small but very ex- pensive radar unit that has survived strikes with no damage due to the Ex-Guard protec- tion. We look forward to using the guards on all of our future trucks, and thank you for a well made, easy to install and use product that has positively impacted our company. ” Dave Allison | Senior Vice President

“ Ex-Guard has been an invaluable addition to our fleet. We average 200-400 animal strikes a year, not counting all of the minor dings and scrapes encountered during normal operations. Before we started using Ex-Guard, animal strikes were catastrophic events which included loss of the cooling package, towing, and extended downtime. We started using deer guards 4-5 years ago and the financial impact and down- time of an animal strikes have been greatly reduced. We probably saved around $400k the first year alone. With the deer guard you still may encounter a cracked bumper or busted headlight; however, the truck is still drivable in most cases. In fact, we have deer guards that have taken 4-5 animal strikes and still running strong. We simply can’t afford not to run Ex-Guards on our trucks. ” Allen Caldwell | Manager Maintenance Technology FIRSTFLEET, INC. MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE

“ Jones Logistics has been using the Ex- Guard model XG-125 for approx. 2 years now. We investigated and tried many options to reduce the cost of deer and animal relat- ed incidents, with very minimal success. In Sept of 2015, our salesman made us aware of the Ex-Guard brand bumper guards. At this time we had already spent over $29,000 on deer related accidents. We tried 5 units won- dering how we would monitor success. In De- cember of that same year, one of the trucks that had the bumper guard ran into a deer... dead center of the hood... ZERO damage to my truck. We quickly purchased more. I am currently down to less than $6000 a year for deer related accidents and am still in the process of outfitting my fleet with Ex-Guard equipment. I highly recom- mend their product...because it WORKS! ” Bryan Stewart | Director of Maintenance JONES LOGISTICS COLUMBIA, MISSISSIPPI
