BUSINESS UPDATE: FUEL SAVINGS & COOLER TRANSPORT FROM THERMAL-XR®
Independent third parties carried out a project utilising THERMAL-XR ® on a diesel bus’s air conditioner and showed a 2.7% FUEL SAVINGS and 25% less cooling time to reach the set operating temperature. The results are highlighted in the table below.

Source: Results from over a two (2) hour period in a controlled facility whilst monitoring time and fuel usage. A Thermo King DAS (Data Acquisition System), standalone data recorder, (not connected to the AC system) with TK Wintrac 5 software was used to download the data for the Pull Down Test, and a proprietary Volvo Telematic System recorded the fuel data. Test was conducted inside a Spray ‘n’ Bake paint booth Model TNT-3-20/6.
GMG CEO Craig Nicol stated, “Where a city bus uses 25,000 litres of diesel fuel per year, with approximately 220 hours per month, THERMAL-XR® powered by GMG graphene based off these test results could potentially save over 650 litres of diesel fuel per year per bus – a significant cost saving for a city bus operator. This would also mean reducing approximately 1.8 tonne of carbon dioxide emissions per annum for each bus.”
“These results highlight the opportunity that THERMAL-XR® powered by GMG graphene also has with transport air conditioning – saving diesel fuel and improving driver and passenger comfort. There are approximately 3 million city buses in the world (~13% being electric) which could use our product to save fuel/energy and emissions or extend battery life (if electric) – which is obviously a significant opportunity for GMG” said Craig Nicol.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
This document contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including statements relating to: (a) the demand for THERMAL-XR® and cooling; and (b) management’s expectations of the effects of Thermal-XR® and cooling as a result of the independent third party projects.
Such forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions of management, including, without limitation, assumptions that the expected results of cooling and the THERMAL-XR® will be consistent with the Company’s expectations as a result of the independent third party projects, and that the market demand for the Company’s THERMAL-XR® will be consistent with the Company’s expectations.
