Transforming Transportation: Now and for the Future Jack Kitowski May 10, 2001 Air Resources Board California Environmental Protection Agency Air, Energy & Transportation Challenges
2
Transforming Transportation: Transforming Transportation: Overview Goal: Clean and healthful air Progress: –L–Light-duty Vehicles Zero Emission Vehicles Advanced Transportation –H–Heavy-duty Vehicles Transit Buses Vision: “conventional technologies and fuels are not enough”
3
Air Resources Board’s Goal Ensure all individuals in California, especially children and the elderly, can live, work and play in a healthful environment -- free from harmful exposure to air pollution.
4
Air Quality Trends Highest Ozone: Greater Los Angeles Standard
5
+87% Daily VMT Increasing Faster Than Population
6
Transforming Transportation: Light-duty vehicles
7
Reducing Motor Vehicle Emissions in California 1990 Low Emission Vehicle (LEVI) Program –E–Emissions reduced 50% - 75% –V–Vehicle + fuel = system –Z–ZEV Mandate: 10% of sales Resulting technologies: –B–Better fuel control –C–Catalysts: Quick warm-up –O–On-board diagnostics –E–EVs, hybrids, natural gas, fuel cells
8
LEVII: “Near Zero” Emissions HC NOx (g/mile) LEV I LEV II Phase 3
9
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Gasoline engines: Near-zero vehicle emissions possible –2000 & 2001 Nissan Sentra CA –Honda ZLEV Emissions remain from fuel distribution –Terminals –Cargo tankers –Service stations
10
Fuel Distribution Emissions vs. Cleanest Gasoline Car* Fuel Distribution Tailpipe* * PZEV
11
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Nissan Sentra CA
12
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Battery electric vehicles: >2000 on-road in California No vehicle emissions - ever! Minimal fuel distribution emissions (in CA) Better efficiency (lower CO 2 ) Low operating cost Limited range ~70 miles High battery cost
13
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Toyota RAV4
14
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Ford Ranger
15
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Daimler- Chrsler EPIC
16
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Honda EV Plus
17
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Nissan Altra
18
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Ford Th!nk - City
19
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Toyota Ecom
20
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Fuel cell electric vehicles: DaimlerChrysler NECAR, Ford P2000.... California Fuel Cell Partnership Zero or near zero emissions No range limits Better efficiency (low CO 2 ) Cost reduction needed
21
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks DaimlerChrysler Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle
22
Revisiting the ZEV Mandate: 2001 Mandate stays –Reduce uncertainty –No more reviews Modify to address –Near term availability –Cost –Market sustainability
23
Key Elements of the Revised Mandate More gradual phase-in –Lower numbers early years Incentives needed for new technologies –Hybrids & natural gas vehicles count toward up to half of ZEV requirement. –Bigger credits for early introduction (4x) –Bigger credits for hydrogen fuel cells (10x) –Efficiency credits Extend and increase mandate beyond 2010
24
ZEVs: Revised Mandate 10 % Mandate 2 % ZEV 6 % PZEV 2 % Hybrids, natural gas 2 %
25
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Natural gas engines –Near-zero tailpipe emissions –No evaporation emissions –Minimal fuel distribution emissions –Adequate range: ~ 200 miles –~ $3,000 premium –Home refueling possible
26
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks 2001 Honda Civic GX (natural gas)
27
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Hybrid electric vehicles: –No range limitations With ‘no all electric range’ –2000 Honda Insight, Toyota Prius –Big 3: Diesel hybrids, “light” hybrids –No urban emission advantages –Better efficiency (lower CO 2 ) With ‘electric range’ –Emission advantages of battery EV
28
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Honda Insight
29
Transforming Transportation: Cars and Light Trucks Toyota Prius
30
Transforming Transportation: Transforming Transportation: (ZEV Sales Requirement in CA) Assumes equal mix of full function and city EVs
31
Transforming Transportation: Transforming Transportation: (Preliminary Sales Requirements) ZEVs Hybrids & CNG
32
Transforming Transportation: Heavy-duty vehicles
33
Transforming Transportation: Transforming Transportation: Urban Transit Buses New bus emission standards –90% lower emissions –Ultra-low sulfur (15 ppm) fuel –Two paths: Diesel or Alternative fuel Older buses –Retrofit with soot filters –Ultra-low sulfur fuel Zero emission buses –Likely fuel cells, Demos: 2003 –15% purchase requirement: beginning 2008
34
Transforming Transportation: Heavy-Duty Trucks & Buses CNG Transit Bus
35
Transforming Transportation: Heavy-Duty Trucks & Buses Fuel cell engines: Transit buses –Hydrogen fueled –Zero emissions –Fuel efficiency better than diesel –Commercial as soon as 2002 –Challenge: Cost reduction Other applications –Line haul trucks, locomotives
36
Transforming Transportation: Heavy-Duty Trucks & Buses Ballard Fuel Cell Engine
37
Vision for the Future Light-duty vehicle fleet being transformed: – natural gas vehicles, hybrids, battery electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles Your vehicle choices will increase dramatically over the next 5-10 years ! Heavy-duty trucks/buses being transformed: –n–natural gas and fuel cell vehicles
