9. More Choices than Ever for Fleets!
 Light-duty (cars and light trucks) OEM-
produced natural gas (dedicated and bi-fuel),
hybrid, plug in hybrid, electric and other fuel
vehicles
 Medium and heavy-duty OEM and small
manufacturer natural gas, propane, hybrid
and electric vehicles and plug in technology
for work site engine-off operations
 Hybrid construction equipment entering
market
9

10. Why the Rapid Change?
 ENERGY SECURITY: FUEL SUPPLY AND COSTS –
Traditional fuel supplies more expensive
 The need for alt and biofuels is increasing
 Huge supply of low cost NA natural gas from new production (hydrofracturing)
 Regional fuel variation and choice becoming more prevalent
 GLOBAL WARMING – Push to reduce GHGs intensifying and
pushing fuel economy –
 CAFÉ revised to match CA CO2 rules: CAFÉ for med & heavy trucks heads to
phase 2
 Energy efficiency reduces GHG impact; Fuel switching and blending reduces GHG
impact; Modal split (transit and rail) has long term role
 EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS – World population increasingly
urban and world emission standards increasingly move to CA/Euro
standards
 Fine particulates (nano particles) will be of increasing concern from combustion
 Diesel fuel still challenged in dirtiest regions (ports, Southern California)

11. Efficiency is Huge Driver
 Big move in light duty to add improved
combustion, turbocharging, multi-speed
transmissions, aerodynamic features to cars and
trucks – partly based on new Fed CAFE
 In big rigs, tractor and trailer aerodynamics, low
rolling resistance tires are current focus – but
next gen includes turbo-compounding, thermal
energy recovery, idle reduction
 In vocational trucks, some hybrid and electric
options, big interest in natural gas (for price
rather than efficiency)
 Current truck FE standards not tough but new
and more stringent standard under development11

12. Options Landscape: Examples
Fuels Technologies
Ethanol: avail now; regional;
process and feedstock
improving; small CO2 gain but
growing
Propane: vehicle models
available; special fueling;
small CO2 gains
Biodiesel: feedstock
concerns; CO2 gains; NOx
issue
Renewable diesel:
emerging option
Plug-in hybrid: first LD products
available; first pilot products in
M/HD; business case varies based
on fuel prices; strong policy support
Hydrogen: longer term
option; transit; blending
Electric: LD products expanding,
multiple makers; MD products
emerging for delivery/ urban niche
Fuel Cell: still early demos; limited
testing; some deployments 2015?

14. Ethanol
 Growth in production slowing, fuel price dropping
 Drought, loss of incentives, ~40% of US corn crop
goes to ethanol – but it is off setting oil today;
required by Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)
 Clear limits seen on corn-only based production
 Other feedstocks and advanced production (such as
cellulosic) are in active development – second
generation production methods have already started
 Lower in energy than gasoline, price a bit lower
 Lower GHG impact than gasoline; lower for most
(not all) emissions – low % blends an emissions
concern in some areas
 Infrastructure growing quickly but still limited; most
flex fuel vehicles still do not use E-85!

15. Ethanol Prices, Production Down
15

16. Natural Gas
 Renaissance, growth of natural gas continues
 Large surge in domestic supply has meant low price
relative to diesel and gasoline, due to expansion of
hydrofracturing – “fracking” – though controversial
 Fleets now have several options in light trucks and
vans; only one OEM car (Honda Civic GX), but can get
upfits for several passenger car models
 ALL medium and heavy-duty OEMs now offer natural
gas (Freightliner, Mack, Volvo, Kenworth, Peterbilt,
Navistar)
 Additional engine families now available (6, 8.9, 12,
13, 15 liter)
 Domestic and lower carbon – particularly biomethane
 Niches remain strong: transit, refuse, now ports
 Infrastructure still barrier, though fuel partners
available and corridors are growing; strongest growth
in regions with good infrastructure

17. Four LD Natural Gas OEM Products
 Honda Civic NG
 Dodge Ram 2500

 Had hoped to
launch in Fall 2012;
aiming for limited
production in 2013
 Had originally
planned own
engine partnership
but that did not
succeed, delayed
entry
26

27. Renewable Natural Gas –
Lowest Carbon Fuel
 Trucks driving on natural
gas produced from dairy
manure operating in San
Joaquin Valley
 Ohio becoming big leader
 Process produces and
refines manure biogas to
“biomethane” – essentially
renewable natural gas
 Lowest carbon emission fuel
according to CARB scoring Dairy partners – Hilarides
Dairy, Hilmar Cheese

28. Why Are Fleets Paying Attention?

29. NG Prices Down with Fracking Up
29
US Energy Information Agency, 2013
 Factors moderating this: Big increase in power
plant demand, LNG export and fracking
restrictions may increase prices but still stable
compared to petroleum

30. Ultra Low Emitting Engines
 California needs even lower NOx emissions
than current EPA engine standards – 80%
lower by 2030!
 Has proposed a voluntary low emission
standard to allow engine makers to certify up
to 80% below EPA 2010 levels
 Natural gas looks like the leader to be able to
meet new lower levels – several development
projects underway
30

31. Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel
 Volumes still low but production and use
jumped in 2012 though incentives lapsed – some
impact from feedstock switching to produce
ethanol, drought
 Most OEMs accepting increased biodiesel use –
fuel spec has now been developed for B1-B20
levels
 Fuel quality improving but still varies
 Little or no performance drop off from
conventional diesel; some operating concerns
(such as cold weather)
 Reduced greenhouse gases and particulates
from diesel, but increased NOx for biodiesel
remains issue

32. Electric Technology – Many Options
 Plug in vehicles expanding – multiple Electric Vehicles
now available
 GM sales highest with Volt extended range EV (or is it a
plug in hybrid?) and now Spark EV; Nissan Leaf expands
markets; Ford, Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Tesla selling;
Chrysler, VW, BMW products coming
 Medium-duty all-electric trucks available in North
America from Smith Trucks, EVI (FCCC partnership),
Boulder - but Navistar drops out
 Improving battery technology partly thanks to hybrids
(lithium ion)
 Still expensive, range limited but energy storage costs
dropping steadily
 Increased petroleum prices makes an improving
business case in right applications
 Criteria and GHG emissions very low; varies depending
on fuel source of power plants, each region different
 However: powerplant emissions improving over time
everywhere

33. Plug in market growth chart

47. Best Uses for E-Truck Business Case
To get sufficient payback, need to
drive maximum miles possible (or
maximum use of energy)
• Dedicated, return-to-base routes with
known daily mileage highly valuable
High Utilization/Daily miles (5-7 days
a week) seems important
70-100 miles/day seems like an
initial “sweet spot” for fuel savings
payback (sufficient miles to
generate fuel savings needed)

48. Best General Use/ Duty Cycles
1. Fixed route applications - 70%
• Stop and go
• Localized, dedicated routes
• Short haul
• Limited range
• ‘Spoke and hub’
• Urban Delivery, Refuse, Mail trucks, Transit Buses
2. Facility vehicles – 19%
• Airports, seaports, railyards, military bases, parks, resorts
• Warehouse support and maintenance
• Cargo handling
3. High idle, work site applications – 11%
• Aerial devices
• PTO

growing market penetration (3%); automaker
competition growing (Toyota, Ford, Honda)
 Products in market for medium- and heavy-duty
vehicles and new products coming (Hino, BAE,
Volvo, Parker, Rexroth)
 First focus is urban work trucks: Class 4-8 refuse,
utility, delivery; class 8 drayage, line-haul and
construction equipment are in demonstration
 Hybrids multiply benefits when combined with low
carbon fuels (biofuels, NG, electricity – plug-in)

53. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
 They’re here! Limited production and high
cost, but expanding choice, multiple OEMs in
market, more coming
 Until recently most PHEVs were conversions
from small firms – very few on road
 Benefits: increased fuel economy, GHG
reductions, possible zero emission driving
 Cost and life cycle of energy storage
(batteries) are prime limiter: but, infrastructure
less of an issue (can plug in off 110 V at home,
do not need high rate charging)
 Most focus is on passenger cars – however
while trucks offer additional challenges, there
may be possible business case benefits
before cars

 Longer term technology for vehicles – still
developmental
 US DOE had halted vehicle-based fuel cell development
funding – but has now started re-investing
 US DOT still investing in technology for transit buses,
costs have reduced by about half
 In medium term, good applications in stationary/
distributed generation; fork lifts; Auxiliary power units
(APUs) for system power, idle reduction, range extension
on some vehicles/equipment
 A few hundred vehicles built worldwide for technical
assessment to date - Still could be a launch of small
volumes in 2015
 Costs still very high, though significant technical
advancement has occurred in cost, reliability, durability,

 Rapid pace of change, driven by efficiency
and energy security, is changing the vehicle
landscape for fleets
 More options today than ever – in multiple
platforms and technology
 Not every option works best in every
application – fleets need to look at how they
use their vehicles, match use, infrastructure
to options that fit their need
 Three more sessions to help you walk that
path
