Eco-Driving as an Emissions Reduction Strategy for the El Paso Region

Eco-Driving as an Emissions Reduction Strategy for the El Paso Region. JAC Meeting May 2011. Need. El Paso is currently in nonattainment for Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Particulate Matter (PM10) Revised NAAQS will potentially result in El Paso also being in nonattainment for Ozone

  1. Eco-Driving as an Emissions Reduction Strategy for the El Paso Region JAC Meeting May 2011

  2. Need • El Paso is currently in nonattainment for Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Particulate Matter (PM10) • Revised NAAQS will potentially result in El Paso also being in nonattainment for Ozone • Control strategies for NOx (and other pollutants) are required

  3. What is Eco Driving? • Driver behavior that can result in reduced emissions and fuel consumption, such as: • Optimize speeds and driving modes • Lesser stops and starts • Eliminate steep accelerations and sudden braking • Studies have shown 5-10 percent fuel economy gain (and consequently, emissions reduced) • Potential benefit for HDDVs

  4. Results of TTI Study • Studied effectiveness of various emissions reduction strategies on drayage trucks • Eco-driving – • Benefits depend on driving mode • Benefits for all pollutants – NOx, CO, THC, PM • For example – fuel consumption – reduced by 8%, NOxemissions reduced by 6%.

  5. Proposed Study • To establish eco-driving as a viable emissions control strategy • Target fleet: • HDDVs (long haul &short haul, operating on arterials and freeway corridors) • Potential expansion to personal vehicles. • Phase 1 – Research and Testing • To identify an Eco-Driving Protocol that maximizes emissions benefits. • Phase 2 –Training and Implementation • Develop and implement a program for driver training and information (i.e. implement eco-driving among fleet) • Phase 3 – Monitoring and Benefits Estimation • Quantify the benefits due to eco-driving. • Apply for SIP/conformity credits.

  6. Proposal for JAC’s Consideration • Resolution on eco-driving • JAC to support need for proposed study.
