6Significant growth opportunities across all
technologies
• E-mobility platforms set to grow exponentially
• Requirement for more efficient ICE in terms of CO2
• Clean air requirements eg for NOx, particulates, hydrocarbons will also
tighten Scenario A - Legislation driven Scenario B - Total cost of ownership

8Umicore’s unique presence in clean mobility
Catalyst for ICE Materials for xEV Catalysts for
batteries fuel cell
• Top three producer of • Extensive product and • Electrocatalysts &
catalysts IP portfolio Membrane Electrode
• Leader in catalysts for • Broad production Assemblies (SolviCore)
complex engine types footprint • Umicore focus is on
(HEV, alternative fuels) • >15yrs experience automotive applications
• Heavy duty diesel • Auto industry TS16949 • Fuel Cell cars require
capability • Already on >12 electrocatalysts and
platforms battery
9Key materials challenges
ICE xEV Fuel cell
• Continuous reduction in • Battery performance • Continued reduction in
precious metals (range and charging) precious metal loadings
loadings requires improvements and cost
• More complex in chemistry • Security of supply –
emissions catalysts for • Lower battery cost need for more recycling
fuel efficient ICE & HEV requirements = of precious metals
• Even stricter regulations innovation in materials • Requires combination of
on particulates, NOx… • Temperature battery and fuel cell
materials
10Umicore’s materials development takes a
system approach
• Some 60% of Umicore’s total R&D
budget is dedicated to materials and
services for clean mobility
Cost
• Materials are developed in close
collaboration with the customer
• Full system approach is required to
obtain the best results for customers
Performance Safety
• Materials are THE key enabler for
efficient and effective clean mobility
11Closing the loop
• Life cycle analysis (LCA) approach is
essential to ensure viability of e-
mobility solutions
• Recycling will become more
important for:
• LCA benefits
• Security of supply
• Consumer confidence
• Legislation already in place in
Europe
• Umicore is a global leader in
recycling automotive catalysts,
rechargeable batteries and fuel cell Umicore has developed the world’s most efficient
rechargeable battery recycling process. It won the
components European Business Award for the Environment in 2012
12Supporting e-mobility initiatives
• Umicore supports various e-mobility
initiatives
• Umicore co-ordinates the i-Move
project of Flanders Drive
• 175 electric vehicles
• 300 charging points
• tested by employees and private
persons in day-to-day conditions
• E-vehicle fleet at Umicore
• Kompetenznetzwerk Lithium-Ionen
Batterien e.V. (KLiB)
• Student initiatives Umicore Solar Car,
Regeneracing (FC), Lessius Team
Umicore CEO, Marc Grynberg, test drives an e-car with Flemish
Minister of Innovation, Ingrid Lieten
13Summary
• Materials define performance
• System approach is key
• Technology neutrality
