1 Trends in Green Vehicle Technologies A Perspective from the Federal Transit Administration March 15, 2011 Walter Kulyk, P.E. Director, Office of Mobility Innovation Federal Transit Administration 1
2 Overview Federal Transit Administration Mission and Funding U.S. Transit and Energy Transit as a Green Technology Demonstration Platform U.S. Transit Policy and Goals Electric Drive and Clean Fuels Research National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP) Transit Investments for Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction (TIGGER) Program Hydraulic Hybrid Development Efforts Advanced Small Transit Vehicle Development Urban MAGLEV Program Lessons Learned and Conclusions 2
3 U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Provides financial and technical assistance to the local public transit systems to plan, construct, and operate public transportation in the U.S. Systems include buses, subways, light rail, commuter rail, streetcars, and passenger ferry boats Over 1,500 transit agencies across U.S. benefit from FTA funding Over $10 Billion in annual funding, with recent increases in annual due to Recovery Act funds $22 Billion in proposed US DOT Budget for 2012 Conducts research & development, and provides technical assistance for innovative technologies and techniques 3
4 Public Transit in the U.S. Demand for transit and transit ridership continues to increase Passengers rode transit vehicles 55.1 billion miles in 2008 Transit use represents about two percent of U.S. passenger car mileage Transit ridership increased 38-percent from 1995 to 2008 U.S. population grew 14-percent Highway use grew 21-percent Sources: APTA & U.S. DOT BTS 4
5 Public Transit Bus Operations 1,100 transit systems operate buses (2008) Over 50,000 buses in operation every day Transit is a leader in adopting clean fuel and advanced technology About 19% of transit buses are alternatively-powered Diesel - Electric 2% Transit Bus Fuel Types (2009 Fleet) CNG 15% Diesel 81% LNG 2% Source: Environmental Benefits of Alternative Fuels and Advanced Technology in Transit, FTA-WV
6 Transit & Energy Current U.S. Transportation sector is petroleum based Demand for oil will continue to outstrip supply Transit petroleum consumption is insignificant compared to overall transportation consumption However, transit is highly vulnerable to oil demand & supply disturbances 6
7 Transit Industry: Platform for Advanced Technologies Fleet Operations Centrally fueled and maintained Professional operators and mechanics Urban stop-go duty cycle and fixed route Start-up time Federal Capital Funding Support Federal procurement funding Assistance for developing new technologies High Visibility & High Impact Operate in densely populated areas Broader public exposure and acceptance Alamodome Transit Entrance. VIA Metropolitan Transit; San Antonio, TX New Flyer Hybrid Bus. Intended for Seattle, WA 7
8 FTA Support of Clean Vehicle Technology Reduce transit bus emissions Lower greenhouse gas transportation emissions Improve fuel efficiency Fuel is second largest operating cost, and not eligible for FTA assistance Current full size transit buses achieve only 2 to 4 mpg Improve vehicle performance Consumer Acceptance/Public Relations Smoke and odor free Clean and quiet Move toward greener technologies 8
9 U.S. Transit Policy DOT Strategic Goal: Environmental Stewardship FTA Strategic Goal: Environmental Sustainability Reduced carbon and other harmful emissions Improved energy efficiency Reduced dependence on fossil fuels Reduced transportation-related air, water, and noise pollution and impacts on ecosystems 9
10 Electric Drive Strategic Plan The Vision The Goal Commercial availability of zero and near-zero emissions, high efficiency, affordable transit vehicles for transit agencies across the country by 2030 from domestic suppliers To advance electric drive and related technologies to enable commercially-viable transit vehicles with significantly higher efficiencies, lower emissions, and superior performance Specific Goal Measure 1 Quadruple fuel efficiency of 40 transit bus Fuel economy greater than 12 miles per diesel equivalent gallon 2 Decrease transit vehicle tailpipe emissions >50% improvement over 2010 EPA requirements for heavy-duty diesel engines 3 Achieve superior performance of new transit vehicles 10 % increase in MBRC 25 % reduction of interior noise Minimum 12-year vehicle lifetime Zero safety incidents 10
11 Electric Drive Research Approach With support from industry stakeholders, FTA identified five focus areas, in priority order, necessary to advance technology to the 20 year vision Technical Focus Area 2014 Objective 2030 Objective Vehicle Energy Management Electrification of Accessories Implement innovative bus energy system demonstration and evaluation program Validate all-electric 40 bus Validated energy storage systems commercially available for transit All-electric bus commercially established Bus Design Prepare advanced propulsion bus design standards and guidelines Commercially established innovative bus design for advanced propulsion systems Rail Energy Management Implement innovative rail energy system demonstration and evaluation program Validated energy management systems commercially available for rail transit Locomotive Design Analyze alternative locomotive designs Established validation program for alternative locomotive designs 11
12 FTA Support of Clean Fuels multiple alternatives to diesel-powered buses CNG successfully commercialized Over $185M in FTA support from FTA supported early demonstrations and development of standards and best practices Most common alternative fuel in transit Hybrid-electric vehicles commercial product Over $25M in FTA hybrid and electric drive research since 2000 Highest fuel efficiency and lowest emissions in current fleet Hybrids continue to increase in market share in transit 12

36 Urban MAGLEV In 1999, FTA announced the Urban Maglev Project (UMP) with the objectives of: Developing a base of knowledge about Urban MAGLEV low speed technology Pursue full system development and demonstration Enhance one or more of critical maglev subsystems using advanced technologies Develop functional specifications Critical Urban MAGLEV Technology Areas Levitation Propulsion Power Supply & Delivery Communication & Control Guideway design Vehicle Design Artistic rendering of Urban MAGLEV at Old Dominion University in Virgina 36
37 Lessons Learned and Conclusions The transit market and ridership is increasing and expected to in the future The ever increasing challenges of energy cost and emissions will continue to drive the search for effective alternative fuel sources and advanced technologies for U.S. transit vehicles Transit is prime for demonstrating green vehicle technologies U.S. Transit has a long successful history with developing and demonstrating advanced propulsion vehicle technologies The FTA s robust diversified portfolio of green technology projects have enabled it to influence the marketplace Advanced Vehicle Consortiums good mechanism for collaboration, innovation, and demonstration effectiveness Research must be broad and fuel/technology neutral Research investments can lead to unanticipated benefits, unexpected collaborations, and further advances 37
38 Advanced Technology Vehicle Research What s Next? Significant support in U.S. Administration for transit and green technology needs Fleet demonstrations needed to continue toward commercialization of lead edge technologies industry discussion planned More work needed on battery electric technology FTA open to new, innovative technology ideas (e.g., CNG Hybrid?) Transit industry needs to be prepared for possible new and/or changed research and development programs and opportunities Continuing Resolution impact on FY 2011 Specific Reauthorization details not yet clear/decided 38
