    1. The NSTAR Fleet A Greener Way to Drive Our Business

    2. NSTAR is a High Performing Energy Delivery Company

    3. Fleet Profile Our vehicles are intended to meet the need of employee transportation as well as serve as tools to work on the electric & gas systems Our $30M investment in Fleet assets consists of 1,500 Units 214 Heavy duty – Cable Pullers, Material Handling Bucket Trucks, Digger Derricks, 10 Wheel Dumps 321 Medium Duty – OH Trouble Trucks, Single Bucket Trucks, Gas Street Trucks, Large Splicing Vans, Dump Trucks, Relay Vans, Cube Vans 974 Light Duty – Pick up trucks, Vans (meter, O&M, CI, gas service), HHR, Sedans)

    4. Fleet Operating Metrics 18 million miles driven annually 1.7 million gallons of fuel used annually Gas vehicles cover 1,067 square miles Electric vehicles cover 1,702 square miles

    5. How Our Greening Efforts Have Changed Fleet Procurement We focus on managing the vehicle life cycle Continue to improve the fleet profile while focusing on utilization factors, fuel usage & environmental goals Leverage change management with committees of Subject Matter Experts to gain acceptance for fleet specification changes Revised and standardized specifications for fleet and equipment to minimize cost, improve lead times on delivery, and manufacturer planning Improved reporting for the user departments moving from socialized allocated fleet cost model to actual cost incurred by each department

    6. Outcome of Purchase Strategy Purchase that reflect standardizing vehicles as much as possible Equipment specifications are developed to align with the work being performed Replaced older units with smaller more energy efficient vehicles Reduced idling of fleet and optimizing dispatch for efficiency and reduce fuel usage

    7. Fuel Reduction Develop administrative capabilities to direct charge for fuel as opposed to the historical socialized billing method Provide consumption reporting, which will help drive the 5% fuel reduction target across operations Align with key vendors Continue spec changes on vehicle types

    8. Dakota vs. Colorado Assumptions made: Avg fuel cost of 3.85 14,000 miles avg driven per vehicle Assumptions made: Avg fuel cost of 3.85 14,000 miles avg driven per vehicle

    9. Focus on the MPG’s can make a difference

    10. We are comparing the HHR to the full size van attempting to downsize vehicles in certain applications Savings across entire life cycle

    11. Fleet Profile – Splicer Vans Jimmy please update this slide, add pictures for this slide, 2009 we want it to say that our decision is to retain through 2009 we do not have the opportunity, talk about leveraging hydraulics and how it lowered the cost of the splicer vans. What was the MPG of the vehicle that was in field training.Jimmy please update this slide, add pictures for this slide, 2009 we want it to say that our decision is to retain through 2009 we do not have the opportunity, talk about leveraging hydraulics and how it lowered the cost of the splicer vans.

    13. Anti Idling Campaign Goal is to change past behaviors Focus on the drivers Targeted education and messaging GPS reporting with parameters set for idling & speed
