6 Analysis Overview VISION VISION Model Inputs and Outputs Consumer fuel and vehicle expenditures used directly in Economic Modeling Vehicle populations and alternative fuel volumes used to estimate infrastructure costs used in Economic Modeling Historic and Future Total new vehicle sales each year Share of new vehicle sales by class, fuel/technology type Vehicle miles by class, model year Vehicle fuel economy by class, fuel/tech type and model year Carbon intensity for each fuel consumed Fuel prices Vehicle prices VISION Model Projection of: Vehicle population by class, fuel/tech type, model year Annual vehicle fuel consumption by type/vehicle class Average carbon intensity Consumer fuel expenditures Consumer vehicle expenditures 5

7 VISION Model Prep Vehicle Populations Scale VISION (U.S.) Vehicle Populations to Oregon VISION uses annual vehicle sales to estimate populations, and vehicle expenditures Vehicle Categories in VISION Class: Light-duty auto (LDA), Light-duty truck (LDT), Medium-duty vehicle (MDV) (class 3-6), Heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) (class 7-8) Fuel/Technology type: Flex-fuel vehicle (FFV), Hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV), Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), Electric vehicle (EV), CNG, diesel, gasoline Legacy Fleet: OR DOT database classifies vehicles as light duty or truck Light Duty - Not all records indicate LDA vs LDT - Using WA split for LDA/LDT - Fuel types are specified Medium Duty - DOT Truck and pass vehicles > 10,000 GVW - Deleted farming vehicles - Deleted heavy fixed construction Heavy Duty Vehicles from Motor Vehicle Carrier Division - Oregon registered vehicles - Pass-Through vehicles not included 6
