Performance Statistics In 2013… UPS vehicles traveled 2,373,467,743 miles UPS vehicles used 324,088,987 gallons of fuel Gasoline package cars averaged 8.54 MPG Diesel package cars averaged 10.18 MPG Tractors averaged 6.39 MPG * Numbers represent domestic fleet only
Background • There is an abundance of Natural Gas available in the U.S. • Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. • Tractor Manufacturers have been developing tractors in order to utilize natural gas as a transportation fuel. • Various incentives (grants and tax) are available to offset some of the capital investment associated with LNG as a transportation fuel. • LNG fuel is substantially less expensive than Diesel • LNG/CNG fit the UPS sustainability mission
Background Benefits of LNG as a Transportation Fuel • Reduces dependence on Foreign Oil • Lower Emissions than Diesel Fuel • Financial ($1.75 per gallon price gap)
Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience” The first 10 duel fuel LNG tractors and 1 Mack SI were put in service in Ontario,Ca in 2001. In 2011 we introduced the Kenworth/ WestportHPDI to the UPS fleet in Ontario and Las Vegas NV. In 2012 that build continued with additional tractors added to Salt Lake City and Beaver Utah.
Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience” Experiences along the way Kenworth & Westport support on initial build was excellent for driver and mechanic training. Good dealer support and network.
Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience” Experiences along the way Tractor range was very dependent on: • Driving skills • Terrain • Wind conditions • Type of trailer combination • Weight of loads • Fueling skills of driver • Conditioning tanks on initial fills
Fleet Perspective- The LNG “experience” Experiences along the way LNG shop requirements were difficult to understand. Limited locations to benchmark from. Consultants were needed to move forward with shop designs. Maintenance issues had a steep learning curve.
Fleet Perspective- The LNG “experience” Experiences along the way Very good driver acceptance after initial fear of LNG and a different design of truck. Very good press and media coverage.
Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience” Lessons Learned Internal roles & responsibilities established for: • Driver training • Fueling • Shop requirements & design • Fueling station Maintenance • LNG vehicle,tank inspections & maintenance • Vehicle specific daily usage based on miles run
Fleet Perspective- LNGFueling stationsPublic station needs Location is everything! • Close to main highways • Accessible for long combinations • Reliability of station- quick response & resolution • 24/7 operation • Large enough to avoid wait time and congestion • Consistent point of contact
Continued Improvement While operating its current alternative fuel and technology vehicles, UPS is also working with manufacturers, government agencies and nonprofit organizations to advance new fuel technologies and find cheaper, cleaner-burning domestic fuels that are better for the environment and more sustainable than conventional diesel.
