Sustainable Transportation VEI Analysis for GHG Reduction: Models and Calculations

Explore various Vehicle Energy Input (VEI) models, revenue calculators, and GHG reduction analyses for sustainable transportation. Understand the impact of consumer behavior on fleet fuel economy shifts and GHG emissions reduction goals. Access over 100 vehicle VEI distribution data to make informed decisions. Acknowledging contributions from experts in the field, delve into strategies for achieving significant reductions in GHG emissions.

  2. 2003 VEIA.xls • Provides VEIs for slope = $500 zero point = 26 mpg

  3. 2003 VEIA.xls • Zero point = 26 MPG • Slope = $500 • More fees paid than rebates given. • VEIs must cover administrative costs and account for consumer behavior adaptation

  4. Revenue Calculator.xls • Calculate Net Revenue • Allows for calculation of adjusted net revenue based on shifts in fleet average fuel economy.

  5. Revenue Calculator.xls • Revenue variation for different zero points and shifts in consumer behavior $500 slope

  6. GHG Reduction Model.xls • To meet goal of reducing GHG emissions to 10% below 1990 levels, must reduce current emissions by 17% • This spreadsheet assesses implications of different VEI schedules on GHG.

  7. GHG Reduction Model.xls • Age distribution measured by registration. (Kathleen Esposito and Atiyah Curmally 2002). • Vehicles purchased in 2005 will influence GHG emissions in 2022. • Large increases in fuel economy early on translate into lower targets needed in future.

  8. GHG Reduction Model.xls Can use model to account for increases in VMT.

  9. Car Comparison.xls • Consumers experience VEI difference in “similar” vehicles. • Spreadsheet analyzes different VEIA schedules for what we believe to be 4 functionally similar vehicles.

  10. Vehicle List.xls

  11. Vehicle List.xls • Distribution of VEIs for over 100 vehicles. • Consumer experiences wide range of VEIs.
