with Flex-Fuel and Hybrid Vehicles Central Management Services State of Illinois Barb Bonansinga Building a Greener Fleet
2
☼ Alternative fuels ☼ FFVs and hybrids ☼ Overall fuel economy ☼ Smaller carbon footprint Illinois: a Case Study Balancing Fleet Efficiency, Costs and the Environment
3
Governor’s 2003 Executive Order #2 required CMS to: ☼ Cut fleet size and costs ☼ Promote use of alternative fuels and vehicles As fleet manager, CMS worked with agencies to cut underutilized/older vehicles to reduce operating costs ☼ Result: 11% cut in fleet size ☼ Over $17 million in savings ☼ Major reductions in emissions Smaller fleet lowers costs, emissions Chapter 1: Fleet Efficiency
4
☼ Nearly 1,600 fewer vehicles consuming fuel, requiring maintenance, polluting the environment ☼ New vehicle purchases now justified for more accountable spending of tax dollars ☼ Standardized process of justifying vehicles in fleet ☼ Reduced age/mileage of remaining fleet lowers maintenance costs Benefits
5
Recognize value of environmental stewardship Support more E85 FFVs in fleet Look for most fuel-efficient/ environmentally friendly vehicles that meet agency needs Provide vehicles and fuel to implement vision Use E-85 and Biodiesel Biofuels Chapter 2: Alternative Fueled Vehicles
6
41% of Illinois fleet now alt-fueled >5,000 vehicles use biofuel 2,351 E85 FFVs and 2,700 Biodiesel-capable +38 Hybrids 4 of world’s first E85 Hybrids Fewer large vehicles/SUVs when smaller/more efficient vehicles will do Number of FFVs and Hybrids in Use Converting Fleet to FFVs and Hybrids
7
VehicleCurrent2010_____2015 E-85/FFV 19%27%67% B-5 21%22%22% Hybrid.3% 2%10% Nearly total conversion by 2015 To FFV, hybrid, 5% biodiesel-capable Projecting Fleet Conversion
8
Started with 14 stations, mostly government sites Target private vendors using fleet purchase data Direct grant monies for E85 site development Exempt State taxes to incent citizens to use biofuel Make biodiesel available for fleet at government tanks via statewide master contracts Encourage commercial availability Chapter 3: Develop a Biofuels Infrastructure
9
☼ Fleet has consumed 370,000 gallons E85 and over 2.4 million gallons 2% biodiesel ☼ 2% now increased to 5% and 20% ☼ Today, over 150 commercial E85 stations statewide sell biofuel to citizens/drivers ☼ 1 station sold 300,000 gallons in 1 month! ☼ Working with fleet card/vendors to make measuring easier and expand sites/availability Results
10
☼ Maps, decals, keychains ☼ Websites, memos, press events Communications: spread the knowledge
11
Nearly 2% of total gas consumed since 2005 has been converted to E85 29.4% of diesel converted to biodiesel Overall, 25% of fleet fuel is biofuel Making the transition Conversion from Conventional Fuels
12
Use justification template so we buy most efficient vehicle that can do the job incorporating lifecycle costs Developed RFPs for hybrid/electric vehicles for maximum fuel efficiency Encouraged manufacturers to build more fuel-efficient FFVS plus E85 hybrid (combining fuel efficiency with biofuels) and buying them Reduce idling Saving green = more green Chapter 4: Reduce Fleet Fuel Consumption
13
FY04 FY05 FY06 Gallons 14.1M 13.0M 12.7M ☼ Projections from spending records ☼ Consumed approx 10.9 million* gallons of biofuel in FY07 ☼* Actual: using newer/ better fleet card data Reductions in Fuel Consumption
14
Reduced CO2Green House Gas (GHG) emissions by 271,000 kg through use of E85 Displaced 370,000 gallons of gasoline with E85 – reducing foreign oil dependency Using homegrown biofuels made from Illinois corn (nation’s #2 producer) and soybeans (#1) – promote state’s economy and create jobs Reduced fuel consumption with smaller/more efficient fleet Chapter 5: Reduce Carbon Footprint
15
Identifying goals for fleet to further reduce overall fuel consumption for reduced costs Setting goals for fleet to further cut GHG emissions and provide smaller carbon footprint Illinois’ goal-6% reduction in GHG emissions by 2010 for fleet and facilities = 60,000 tons/year Chapter 6: Sustain Progress
16
☼ Buy-in from elected officials, state officials, agency directors and coordinators, fleet drivers essential ☼ Fleet centralizing efforts/taking lead ☼ Helping agencies understand what, where, how, why we should use biofuels/green fleet ☼ Solid laws, executive orders and policies enforcing message to meet goals ☼ Constant communication – via training, interstate signs, pamphlets, decals, keychains, websites, email reminders and news media Sustainability Tools
17
Letting Citizens Know Where Fuel Is IDOT maps and Interstate signs
18
☼Clean Air Act: Illinois exceeded compliance consistently ☼ E-PACT: Illinois exceeds compliance with over 1,000 banked credits ☼ Executive Order #2: Justify the fleet ☼ Executive Order #4: Grow biofuels consumption/alternative-fuel vehicles ☼ Public Act: Requires new fleet vehicles be E85/FFV, hybrids or 5% biodiesel capable, as of July 1, 2007 Regulatory and Compliance Tools
19
☼ Stay current with technology, mandates and requirements ☼ Be familiar with metrics of environmental stewardship ☼ Set baselines and goals and track progress ☼ Maintain/expand buy-in of stakeholders and troubleshoot ☼ Gain support of leadership, rules, policies and laws to implement Future Direction – Forging Ahead
