SCHEDULE D
TARGET VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS, FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE FOR
PHASE 1 PROTOTYPE (ALPHA)
EVDrive shall develop and deliver to Bluegentech the following Deliverables:
i. EVDrive shall design, source, and assemble the Custom Electric Driveline for
certain specific commercial class 6, 7, and 8 vehicle specified by Bluegentech, which Custom
Electric Drive shall include, but is not limited to the following:
A. Drive sub-systems including off-the-shelf motor cores, integrated into one
case with custom optimal design multi-speed clutchless electronic-controlled gearbox for
each of the six (6) wheels including the inverter/controllers to drive each motor/gearbox
sub-system;
B. Custom version of EVDrive’s torque vectoring control system running on
EVDrive “Powertrain Control Unit” (“PCU”) to control the 6
motor/gearbox/inverter/controller units ported over to Bluegentech supplied hardware;
C. Energy Storage System including liquid-cooling battery modules and
BMS (battery management system) to be built at EVDrive facilities then shipped to
Bluegentech for installation;
D. Development of PCU functions on Bluegentech supplied hardware;
E. Assist Bluegentech staff to develop all software to the Motorhawk/
Mototron/Simulink software simulation and then the run-time hardware platforms, e.g.
the engine control units (“ECU”) which will be in the final vehicle;
F. Powertrain cooling;
G. Modify if possible Bluegentech supplied electric power steering to support
required steering angle data streaming;
H. Motohawk/Mototron/PCU (powertrain control unit) software (runs on the
vehicle ECUs) automated control of the 6 Gearboxes integration with independent
suspension and mechanical braking;
I. Regenerative braking software and sub-systems, that performs fast
charging of batteries from “reverse or negative torque” applied to all motors;
J. Develop support sub-systems required such as Power distribution w/
contactors and accessory support as listed above;
K. Integrate Bluegentech supplied IMU (inertial measurement unit for real-
time 3DOF (degree of freedom - roll, pitch yaw) data streaming and the truck hitch 3DOF
data sensor to the torque vectoring software running on the PCU platform); and
ii. The Custom Electric Driveline must be developed such that a vehicle operator is
able to read and display any fault or error codes within the system during operation of the
- 26 -
applicable vehicle. Bluegentech is lead team member in programming of user interface (HMI
touchscreen interface to VCU) for this purpose, however EVDrive will support with software
running on the PCU part of the vehicles’ Motohawk ECUs. .
iii. EVDrive shall develop and engineer 3-D models in Solid Works for the Custom
Electric Driveline and its component parts in sufficient detail to allow Bluegentech to integrate it

the powertrain that can achieve the following performance goals:
A. Match or exceed power/torque of a ISM500 or ISX500 Cummins Diesel
(500hp) in a Class 8 tractor with GVWR of 20,000 lbs, 60,000 lbs max trailer weight
and GVWR - 80,000lbs.
B. e-powertrain to produce ~1000hp cont. minimum for 30 minutes -
200kWh, ~20,000 18650 cell EVD ESS
C. e-powertrain to produce ~98,000 ft-lbs max. cont. for 30 minutes
D. Accelerate up a six percent (6%) grade of climb for ~ thirty (30) minutes
with full GVWR
E. Able to reach and otherwise maintain speeds between zero (0) and ~eighty
(80) miles per hour
F. Powertrain sized with Turbine REX to sustain ~75mph cruise flat terrain
until REX fuel runs out (auto turn on REX charge sustain mode) - Drive at ~seventy-
five (75) miles per hour continuous under a Full Load of GVWR ~60,000 lbs. (IF
Bluegentech’s supplied gas turbine and integrated generator can supply the needed
continuous electrical power).
G. ~80 mph is max top speed, not continuous cruise flat terrain speed

  • 25. - 25 - SCHEDULE D TARGET VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS, FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE FOR PHASE 1 PROTOTYPE (ALPHA) EVDrive shall develop and deliver to Bluegentech the following Deliverables: i. EVDrive shall design, source, and assemble the Custom Electric Driveline for certain specific commercial class 6, 7, and 8 vehicle specified by Bluegentech, which Custom Electric Drive shall include, but is not limited to the following: A. Drive sub-systems including off-the-shelf motor cores, integrated into one case with custom optimal design multi-speed clutchless electronic-controlled gearbox for each of the six (6) wheels including the inverter/controllers to drive each motor/gearbox sub-system; B. Custom version of EVDrive’s torque vectoring control system running on EVDrive “Powertrain Control Unit” (“PCU”) to control the 6 motor/gearbox/inverter/controller units ported over to Bluegentech supplied hardware; C. Energy Storage System including liquid-cooling battery modules and BMS (battery management system) to be built at EVDrive facilities then shipped to Bluegentech for installation; D. Development of PCU functions on Bluegentech supplied hardware; E. Assist Bluegentech staff to develop all software to the Motorhawk/ Mototron/Simulink software simulation and then the run-time hardware platforms, e.g. the engine control units (“ECU”) which will be in the final vehicle; F. Powertrain cooling; G. Modify if possible Bluegentech supplied electric power steering to support required steering angle data streaming; H. Motohawk/Mototron/PCU (powertrain control unit) software (runs on the vehicle ECUs) automated control of the 6 Gearboxes integration with independent suspension and mechanical braking; I. Regenerative braking software and sub-systems, that performs fast charging of batteries from “reverse or negative torque” applied to all motors; J. Develop support sub-systems required such as Power distribution w/ contactors and accessory support as listed above; K. Integrate Bluegentech supplied IMU (inertial measurement unit for real- time 3DOF (degree of freedom - roll, pitch yaw) data streaming and the truck hitch 3DOF data sensor to the torque vectoring software running on the PCU platform); and ii. The Custom Electric Driveline must be developed such that a vehicle operator is able to read and display any fault or error codes within the system during operation of the
