PRESS RELEASE

Opel Ampera, the electric flagship of the car fleet at Disneyland Paris

Marne-la-Vallée, 20 November 2012 - Nearly a year ago General Motors France and Euro Disney Associés S.C.A. announced the signature of a partnership through which Opel became the official automobile partner of Disneyland Paris for the next two years. This represented a great opportunity for both companies to work together on the evolution of corporate car fleets.
The partnership between Opel and Disneyland Paris was signed with the concern of reducing fossil fuels and greenhouse gas production as one of their objectives. Consequently Disneyland Paris handed fifteen members of its Executive Committee Opel Ampera vehicles, making them the ambassadors of the first extended-range electric vehicle in France.

Opel Ampera, a vehicle that induces a change in driving behaviour

The Opel Ampera allows 100% electric driving without any greenhouse gas emission or fossil fuel consumption for up to 80 kms. It can cover as much as 500 kms by using its generator to prolong the autonomy. Consequently the consumption of fossil fuel is far less that traditional thermal vehicles.
Drivers immediately acquire eco-driving reflexes and optimise consumption of electricity and the thermal extender (2.91 liters/100 km in average after only a few months of use).
During the learning process drivers of the Opel Ampera acquire other automatic reflexes to further save consumption and to cover longer distances. The Ampera is registered at 1.2 litres to 100 km combining driving on the road and in town (average consumption according to UN ECE R101 registration).
'We have covered quite a bit of road in a few months', Thierry Pedros, Vice President Strategic Alliances at Disneyland Paris explains. 'Electric cars are replacing little by little the more polluting vehicles. Results are already apparent and they encourage us to continue to chose electric.'
Behaviours have started changing. The early adopters have shown the way to their peers. Indeed the first fifteen executives at Disneyland Paris chose the electric car instead of the thermal version and now some of their colleagues also wish to experience the Ampera.

An optimised company transportation plan and money saved

As a responsible corporate citizen Disneyland Paris has entered a process in favour of the environment in which the reduction of greenhouse gas production is one of the major challenges. It was in this manner that as of
1997 Disneyland Paris started its first research on the company transportation plan for the footprint of its employees' transport on and off site.
In 2012, with Opel as its car partner, Disneyland Paris has taken a new step. Its fleet has evolved with the fifteen Opel Ampera as well as with the 500 company vehicles equipped with the latest 'ecoFLEX' and
'Start/Stop' CO² reduction technologies.
After six months, the first results due to the use of the Opel Ampera are quite significant:
• Greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 4: 6.14936 TEQ CO² in Opel Ampera compared to 24.806658
TEQ CO² in thermal vehicles.1

The calculation was based on kilometres covered over six months in an Opel Ampera, in regard to previous vehicles.



Estimates over a year suggest important savings in regard to the extension of the fleet created:
• Fuel costs: savings of more than €10,000 per year (average consumption of 2.91 litres/100km at the average cost of €1.59 /litre).
• Tax on company vehicles: a reduction of €28,931, i.e. 8.5% less than in 2011.

Adapt the site and offer new opportunities to Disneyland Paris guests

The choice of electric vehicles for the executives in the company required a certain number of adaptations of the site. Indeed, to allow users to charge their vehicles with electric energy no matter where they are, 21 charging stations have been set up.
First of all, in the backstage area of the destination, Disneyland Paris chose to extend these new measures to the guest parking lot and to those of certain hotels (the Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Hotel New York and Disney's Newport Bay Club) thus offering its guests the possibility of reaching and discovering the destination in a 100% electric mode.

A corporate partnership around family and environmental values

Aside from creating awareness among Disneyland Paris executives and employees, this partnership has also been an opportunity for the Opel Ampera to increase its reputation to the public at large as an innovativevehicle that respects the environment by making it the 'official Disneyland Paris vehicle for the 20th
anniversary.'
By launching in March 2012 two special 'Disneyland Paris' editions of the Zafira Tourer and the Meriva, Opel was able to offer family models to clients attached to the Disney brand. Indeed, with over 16 million visits a year, Disneyland Paris is the number one European tourist destination and is the perfect place to showcase the Opel brand.

Opel Ampera: the major points

Ampera has allowed cars to evolve at extra speed. It was elected car of the year for 2012; won at the Monte- Carlo Rallye of New Energies for 2012; and is the first electric car that can be used on a daily basis.
It can carry four passengers and their luggage from 40kms to 80kms on electric energy alone, without any emissions (approximately 80% of Europeans travel less than 60km per day). The Ampera is also the first electric vehicle that offers autonomy beyond 500km by using its generator that maintains the batteries charged.
Reassuring: a stress-less electric vehicle, autonomous and functional Pure: 40kms to 80kms with pure electricity, without emissions Efficient: 27g/km CO² in combined cycle
Power: 150 horsepower for the electric power group
Sporty: 370 Nm of torque, 161 km/h maximum speed, 9 seconds of 0 to
100km/h, four driving modes of which one 'sports' mode, a chassis adapted to the most demanding clients.
Simple: the battery can be recharged in just a few hours on a normal electric plug
Elegant and practical: pure modern line, 4 seats, and 5 doors
