  1. Transportation & Sustainability:Options & Opportunity <Your Name Here> <Organization Name Here> <Phone number> <Email> <Website> <Your Organization logo>

  2. Clean Fuel Advanced Technology 2013-2015 Project Education & Outreach Partners: “focused on reducing transportation related emissions in NC counties that have air quality concerns” Funded by the N.C. Department of Transportation with Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Funds.

  3. Section 1 NC Air Quality & Health

  4. North Carolina Air Quality 24 counties do not meet national air quality standards for ozone.

  5. Health Impacts of Vehicle Emissions 42% of the nation lives where pollution levels are dangerous http://www.stateoftheair.org/2013/key-findings/

  6. Section 2 National Trends in Clean Transportation

  7. Petroleum Economics • Demand • Growing and industrializing world Supply • Exists, but harder to get • Many nations historically unfriendly to US • We often import more than we produce Average US household spent close to $3,000 on gasoline in 2012 US Energy Information Administration http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=33&t=6

  8. http://energy.gov/articles/infographic-road-fuel-efficiency (Infrographicby Sarah Gerrity)

  9. Heavy Duty Diesel Emissions 2006 -- diesel fuel converted to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) • Cleaner-burning • 97% less sulfur than Low-Sulfur Diesel 2007-2010 -- “Clean” Engine phase-in for heavy duty trucks • Lowered NOx 96% & PM 90% compared to 1994 • Increased cost of conventional vehicles

  10. Section 3 Clean Transportation Solutions - Overview

  11. There is no silver bullet! • Efficiency • Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Reduction Programs • Idle Reduction • Alternative fuels • Advanced technology vehicles Clean Transportation Solutions

  12. Fuel & Vehicle Efficiency Get more out of what you use: • Eco Driving • Vehicle maintenance • Lower speeds and slower accelerations • Overdrive gears and cruise control • Remove excess weight • “Right size” vehicle • Eliminate unnecessary idling For every 5 mph over 60, your fuel efficiency decreases by 7%

  13. VMT Reduction Programs Reduce Use: • Combine or avoid trips • Carpool • Adjust routes • Use Alternative modes - public transit, walk, bike

  14. Idling is: • Expensive • $20 billion per year in US • Often restricted • Pollutes Idle reduction can be cheap and quick Idle Reduction

  15. Section 4 Clean Transportation Technologies Fuels & Vehicles

  16. Natural GasCNG or LNG Benefits of Fuel: • Decreased emissions of NOx • Reduced fuel costs • Low carbon density • Excellent choice for: • Refuse • Transit • Delivery • High mileage fleet applications

  17. NaturalGas Vehicles • Dedicated & Bi-fuel options • Soon on state contract • Models from Ford, Honda, GM, Cummins Westport • Warranties on many EPA certified up-fits • NC Clean Transportation Technology Industry Directory www.cleantransportation.org

  18. PropaneLPG Benefits of Fuel: • Decreased emissions of NOx • Lower cost fuel, fueling and conversion • No loss of performance • Excellent choice for: • First responders • Para-transit

  19. Propane Vehicles • Dedicated & Bi-fuel options • Soon on state contract • Models from Freightliner, Thomas Built, Roush (Ford) & Bluebird • Warranties on many EPA certified up-fits • NC Clean Transportation Technology Industry Directory www.cleantransportation.org

  20. BiodieselB5, B20, B100 Benefits of Fuel: • Decreased emissions • Non-toxic and safe • Often higher cost fuel • No conversion required • Excellent choice for: • Existing vehicles • Local economy

  21. EthanolE85 Benefits of fuel: Decreased emissions Can be low-cost Lower energy density No conversion required Excellent choice for: Existing vehicles Local economy Flex fuel vehicles are often identified by this logo. More than 95% of U.S. gasoline contains up to 10% ethanol – US Dept. of Energy

  22. 2014 E85 Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFVS) Jaguar XJ Jaguar XJL Jeep Grand Cherokee Land Rover Range Rover Lincoln Navigator Mercedes –Benz C300 Mercedes-Benz E350 Mercedes-Benz ML350 Nissan Armada Nissan Titan Ram 1500 Ram C/V Toyota Sequoia Toyota Tundra Volkswagen Routan Audi A4 quattro Audi A5 Cabriolet quattro Audi A5 quattro Audi Q5 Bentley Continental Bentley Flying Spur Buick Lacrosse Cadillac Escalade Chevrolet Captiva Chevrolet Captiva Chevrolet Equinox Chevrolet Express 1500 Chevrolet Impala Chevrolet Impala Chevrolet Silverado Chevrolet Suburban Chevrolet Tahoe Chrysler 200 Chrysler 300 Dodge Avenger Dodge Charger Dodge Durango Dodge Grand Caravan Dodge Journey Ford E150 Ford E250 Ford Expedition Ford Explorer Ford Focus Ford Taurus GMC Savana GMC Sierra GMC Terrain GMC Yukon Denali GMC Yukon Jaguar XF For annual list of FFVs visit www.cleantransportation.org OR http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/powerSearch.jsp?keep=1&tabView=0

  23. Electric Drive Vehicles • Benefits to fuel: • Potential for zero emissions • $0.50 to $0.70 per gallon equivalent • Public recharging stations increasingly available Option 1: Powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery but, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) Battery is charged by regenerative braking Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) Battery is charged by plugging into power source. Option 2: Powered by an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery All-Electric Vehicles (EV or PEV) Battery is charged by plugging into power source

  24. Lithium-ion battery pack & electric motor • 10 - 75 mile all-electric range • Plug into a 120V or 240V outlet • 2013-14 models include: • Cadillac ELR • Chevy Volt • Ford C-MAX Energi • Ford Fusion Energi • Honda Accord • Toyota Prius Plug In Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles • C-Max Energi • all electric, 75mi range • gas and electric, 600mi range • Chevy Volt • all electric, 40mi range • standard gas engine 38 mpg • Currently best selling PHEV (Sept ‘13)

  25. All-Electric Vehicles (EV or PEV) • Nissan Leaf • all-electric, 70-100 mi range • Ford Focus Electric • all-electric, 76 mi range Up to $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles!
