LABORATORY TEST RESULTS

BLADE is the only automotive aftermarket product ever to show significant CO₂ reductions and fuel economy increases by the EPA 511 Protocol, a test created by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to evaluate aftermarket retrofit devices that claim to reduce automobile exhaust emissions and/or improve fuel economy. The EPA 511 Protocol is the most rigorous EPA recognized test procedure in existence and the only test procedure that the EPA considers statistically valid.

The following test results were obtained from Automotive Testing and Development Services, Inc. (ATDS), a California based, independent testing laboratory which is accepted by the EPA and is licensed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). ATDS is the same lab used by top vehicle manufacturers to test fuel economy and emissions of new vehicles – including Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Volvo.

The testing of the Blade by ATDS was conducted in strict accordance with 40 CFR 86 and California Title 13, and following the EPA 511 Test Protocol (EPA Motor Vehicle Aftermarket Retrofit Device Evaluation Program).

ATDS tested Blade on a fleet of vehicles – consisting of 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder, 8-cylinder and Hybrid vehicles – both foreign and domestic. The results demonstrate verifiable and repeatable reductions in CO₂ and increases in fuel economy across the entire fleet.

Test Vehicle	Fuel Economy Increase	CO2 Reduction
Honda Civic, 2004 (Foreign 4-cylinder)	6%	6%
Hyundai Sonata, 2008 (Foreign 6-cylinder)	12%	12%
Ford E-250, 2007 (Domestic 8-cylinder)	5%	6%
Pontiac G6 (Domestic 6-cylinder)	4%	6%
Toyota Prius, 2007(Foreign Hybrid)	5%	6%
