All-Electric Commercial Fleet Vehicles – Vans, Trucks, and Buses
Why All-Electric Vehicles? • Reduce • fuel cost - $4/gal vs. 10 cents/kwh • $300 billion balance of payments deficit • energy security problems • excess consumption of energy • efficiency -IC engine 20%, electric motor 90% • GHG emissions • criteria pollutants • maintenance expense • IC engine system 1400 parts , electric motor/battery system, 200 parts • No new infrastructure is required for fleet vehicles
Why Focus on Fleet Vehicles? • An estimated 107 million light and medium duty vans, trucks, school buses and shuttle buses can be repowered • Millions of transit buses, heavy duty trucks, tractors and similar vehicle can be repowered. • Fleet vehicles are major consumers of diesel fuel and pollution and GHG emitters • High mileage fleet vehicles have reduced operation and maintenance cost to offset initial incremental cost • Low mileage fleet vehicles have the potential to earn supplemental income providing frequency regulation services to the grid

Diesel Fuel Consumption • About 46,000,000,000 gallons/year consumed in US • NY/NJ consumes about 3,000,000,000 gallons/year • Millions of people are bused to work • AT&T, Verizon, FedEx. Fresh Direct and others operate thousands of fleet vehicles • NY/NJ Port Authority airports and marine ports operate, or are served by, thousands of shuttle buses, vans, short haul heavy duty trucks and tractors • Hunts Point Food Market is served by thousands of trucks and vans • Utilities operates large fleets of maintenance vans and trucks • In Manhattan alone it is estimated that there are 100,000 freight deliveries each day
Typical School Bus Fleet 480,000 Vehicles in United States Average ~66 miles per day MPG = ~7 Parked 12 hours at same location Parked for 3 months Great public visibility
School Bus Statistics • Estimated number of school buses - 480.000 • Average miles driven per year per bus - 12,000 • Total miles driven - 5,760,000,000 • Total diesel fuel consumed - 882,857.000 gallons • Number of students transported - 26,000,000
Port Vehicle Statistics • Port of Los Angeles Trucks • 1,200,000 trips per year • 50% idle time • Have acquired 25 all-electric trucks • Port Authority of NY/NJ • 1,500,000 trips per year • 5,300,000 hours of idle time • 50,000 miles per trip
Where’s the Beef • Port of LA’s 25 all-electric trucks saves 500,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year • Achieving the same savings would require about 150 delivery trucks, or 1,200 Leaf passenger vehicles and building a charging station infrastructure.
