5 The Low Carbon Vehicle Action Plan

6 What is it? Management statement and agreed process aimed at: Minimising fuel consumption Reducing mileage Reducing running costs Reducing environmental impact Helping meet environmental objectives Without impacting on service provision

7 Making the Case UK commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050, compared to 1990 baseline 50% by 2027 Energy generation and transport likely to be targeted Increasing fuel prices Impact on organisations where transport is an integral part of their operations Increasing costs

8 Exploring Your Options 5 steps Define your fleet operations Baseline current emissions Evaluate your options Run vehicle trial Report

9 Define Your Fleet Operation Vehicle activity Single journey vs. multi-stop Range Minimum and maximum daily mileage Capacity Load needs Refuelling Daily vs. out of hours Economics Cost of ownership Servicing Outsourced vs. in house

10 Baseline Current Emissions Collect accurate annual fuel records Apply fuel based emission factors Tank-To-Wheel vs. Well-To-Wheel TTW: tailpipe emissions only WTW: entire lifecycle emissions WTW best for comparing low carbon fuel options Takes account of extraction, processing, transportation, dispensing and combustion Can compare options more effectively

11 Evaluate Your Options No Single Solution Greater management control Fuel management Vehicle specification Driver training Mileage reduction Low carbon vehicles and fuels

12 Low Carbon Vehicles and Fuels The right technology will depend on your fleet operating requirements, organisational priorities and budget Improved internal combustion engine Hybrid electric Full electric Gas Dual fuel Each has pros and cons Cost, emissions, reliability, etc Duty cycle, conditions

13 Running a Vehicle Trial Use to confirm your evaluation Claims of vehicle and infrastructure providers Can be expensive to run and manage Plan and allocate resources Financial and staffing Define output and monitoring criteria Fuel consumption, reliability, range, driver feedback, maintenance costs, practicality Need to convert fuel/energy to carbon emissions

14 Running a Vehicle Trial Sources of variation Driver, vehicle, route, season Try and trial options on routes with similar conditions Data collection Manual: fuel collection sheets (e.g. mileage, date, fuel loaded, cost) Automatic: telematics systems Partnership approach Vehicle and fuel suppliers Demonstration project approach Trial buy or return contract

15 Reporting About getting buy-in and sign off to continue/purchase Compare performance against conventional fuel Using the same duty/operational cycle Economies of scale Permanent vs. trial refuelling infrastructure Increased vehicle numbers Increased fossil fuel prices

16 What Next? Cenex can help Fleet carbon reduction Vehicle trials Infrastructure deployment support

17 Fleet Carbon Reduction Guidance A multi-part guidance document for the fleet operator Built on Cenex s experience trialling low carbon vehicles

18 Fleet Carbon Reduction Project management and consultancy support Input to scenario planning Analysis to aid business case development Planning Implementation Analysis Targets & Requirements Support for implementation Source vehicles Driver & engineer training Options Scenario Planning & Assessment Procurement, Integration & Implementation Demonstration Analysis & Reporting Wide Scale Deployment Help understanding outcomes Fleet Characterisation & Baselining Vehicle Infrastructure Data collection, analysis and reporting

19 Low Carbon Vehicle Trials Vehicle performance Real world and laboratory performance Acceptance and integration into fleet operation Environmental impact Tank-to-wheel CO 2 emissions Well-to-wheel CO 2 emissions Noise Air quality emissions Reliability Economic and payback analysis Matching customer expectations Fleet characterisation Fit for purpose application Low carbon and business delivery match

20 Infrastructure Deployment For EV charge posts, gas and hydrogen stations, scope of support includes input to Strategy Business case analysis Choice of technology Location choice How to get the infrastructure installed and operational Who can supply, in what timescales and at what cost Support of implementation
