Book Description
For a century, almost all light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have been powered by internal combustion engines operating on petroleum fuels. Energy security concerns about petroleum imports and the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on global climate are driving interest in alternatives. Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels assesses the potential for reducing petroleum consumption and GHG emissions by 80 percent across the U.S. LDV fleet by 2050, relative to 2005. This report examines the current capability and estimated future performance and costs for each vehicle type and non-petroleum-based fuel technology as options that could significantly contribute to these goals. By analyzing scenarios that combine various fuel and vehicle pathways, the report also identifies barriers to implementation of these technologies and suggests policies to achieve the desired reductions. Several scenarios are promising, but strong, and effective policies such as research and development, subsidies, energy taxes, or regulations will be necessary to overcome barriers, such as cost and consumer choice.

Alternative Fuel Vehicles for Clean Cities . Final Report from the City of Philadelphia Managing Director's Office

Book Description
The City of Philadelphia was awarded a grant for the ''development of a Public Information Component for the Clean Cities Program involving alternative fuels usage within the city of Philadelphia and the surrounding counties in the Philadelphia region''. During the summer of 1993, it was felt that the public needed considerable information on the costs, benefits, emission data, conversion information, and infrastructure requirements. Embodied in the 1993 proposal was the notion that a model could be developed within some type of structure charged with the tasks of market introduction of alternative fuels in the Greater Philadelphia area in a concerted, comprehensive way. As originally envisioned, in executing this grant, the City had several objectives in mind. Among these were the following: the organizing of various media events to showcase alternative fuels usage; (2) to begin a networking process with fleet managers in the area; (3) to provide sources of information to fleet managers and others interested in, and concerned with the conversion to alternative fuels; (4) documentation on research and analysis associated with alternative fuels.

Book Description
The goal of this project is to provide transportation agencies who operate heavy-duty fleets in support of winter highway maintenance with research on fleet electrification and alternative fuel options. Research will cover the challenges of transitioning to a green fleet including engine and component power,torque, and durability, infrastructure and staffing support, energy resources and availability, and operating conditions. The project team compiled a current profile of the winter operations fleet and conducted interviews with the 13 DOTs who agreed to participate in the study. These organizations shared their limited experience with alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). Due to negligible use of AFVs, interviews focused on best practice areas that will support the future use of alternative fuels. Barriers to AFV adoption and the conditions for a successful transition were also explored. Significant fuel shifts in society are rare but lessons from the shift to diesel, propane and natural gas were reviewed to determine their relevance for the future shift to electricity. The importance of infrastructure in successful fuel transitions was recognized. The project team also looked outside the participating DOTs to other levels of government experimenting with AFVs. From these interviews additional information on biodiesel and renewable options were recorded and compared. Finally, the team interviewed vehicle and fuel system manufacturers to learn about existing and emerging AFV and fueling options. The research, findings and recommendations are summarized in a synthesis report.
