Green Mandates: Green Fleet Thomas Evashenk California Air Resources Board Green Summit Sacramento, California March 12, 2007
Air Resources Board Goal Ensure all Californians, especially children and the elderly, can live, work and play in a healthful environment - free from harmful exposure to air pollution
Overview • Environmental Impacts and Vehicle Emissions • Historical “Greening” of the Fleet • Fleet Requirements for Agencies • Resources
Criteria Pollutant Emissions Oxides of Nitrogen and Hydrocarbons On-Road Motor Vehicles 53% (3,700 tpd) Stationary Sources 33% (2,300 tpd) Off-Road Sources 14% (1,000 tpd)
Criteria Pollutants Oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons Evaporative hydrocarbons Engine and fuel system
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Carbon Dioxide Methane Nitrous Oxide HFCs Carbon Dioxide Transmission Engine A/C compressor
Federal Energy Policy Act 1992 • 75% of the state’s light-duty vehicle purchases to be alternative fueled vehicles • Purchase alternative fueled vehicles with fueling stations in California • Use alternative fuel in the vehicles
State Legislation • SB 1170 (10-14-01) • Created the Driving Green Task Force • Required a report recommending strategies to reduce fuel consumption and emissions of state vehicles • Report issued 11/01/02 • Resulted in SB 552 (9-18-03) • Required DGS to develop policies and formulas for purchasing of state vehicles by January 1, 2005
Impact on Vehicle Purchases • Office of Fleet Administration (OFA) Developed: • Enhanced DGS ULEV Vehicle Purchase & Lease Policy • Procurement Division Developed: • Enhanced Efficiency Costing Methodology
Vehicle Purchase and Lease Policy • Procure ULEV II and cleaner light-duty sedans • Procure ULEV I light-duty pickups, vans, and SUVs • Maximize purchase of SULEV and hybrid vehicles • Discourage purchase of SUVs
Vehicle Purchase and Lease Policy • Applies to purchase and lease of: • Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) • Gasoline Vehicles • Hybrid-Electric Electric Vehicles (HEVs) • Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and Four-Wheel Drive (FWD) Vehicles
Enhanced Efficiency Costing • Methodology for new vehicle procurements • Developed by DGS, CARB, CEC • Awards contracts based on lowest total cost of ownership
Enhanced Efficiency Costing • In addition to purchase price, include vehicle costs associated with: • Pollution: cost of criteria pollutants emitted by the vehicle over its useful life • Operation: cost of fuel to operate the vehicle over its useful life
DGS Fleet Management Memos • MM 01-22 Re-Refined Oil • MM 06-03 Purchase and Lease Policy • MM 06-05 Vehicle Reporting • MM 06-06 Utilization Standards • MM 06-07 Acquisition of State Vehicles
MM 01-22: Re-Refined Oil • State agencies encouraged to use state garages and authorized vendors offering re-refined oil for oil change services • Agencies may obtain credit when completing the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign Procurement Report • Authorized vendors listed online
MM 06-03: Purchase and Lease Policy • Procure ULEV II and cleaner light-duty sedans • Procure ULEV I light-duty pickups, vans, and SUVs • Maximize purchase of SULEV and hybrid vehicles • Discourage purchase of SUVs
MM 06-03: Purchase and Lease Policy • Departments to Dispose of: • Nonessential SUVs and four-wheel drive trucks • Replace with more fuel efficient cars and trucks
MM 06-05: Vehicle Reporting • DGS compiles and maintains information on the nature of owned and leased vehicles • Each state agency is responsible for submitting one consolidated report to DGS annually • Reports due to DGS • Februrary 15th
MM 06-06: Utilization Standards • Recent changes to minimum-use standards: • 6,000 miles or vehicle use of at least 80 percent of available work days • Consistent with Federal vehicle use requirements • Reduces evaporative emissions and encourages greater carpooling
MM 06-07: Acquisition of State Vehicles • Revisions to the State Acquisition Form help ensure: • Long-term leases from the State pool and commercial vendors receive the same evaluation for need as other State vehicle acquisitions • Vehicle assessment prior to increasing fleet size • Requested vehicles are both necessary and cost-effective
