2 Alternative Fuel Vehicles for Fleet Operators Section 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Overview Many fleet managers are experiencing cross-cutting pressures to streamline operational costs and reduce the environmental impact of their fleets. In some cases, the fleet operators themselves want to reduce their fleets environmental footprint. In other cases, fleets are being required to do so because of legislative or regulatory schemes. Regardless, the two primary goals more cost-effective operations and a greener fleet may work in opposition to each other. Fleet managers must consider the best, most costeffective way to green their vehicle fleet while ensuring that operations continue to run smoothly. Alternatively, some fleet managers see a greener fleet as a way to reduce the costs associated with their vehicles. This is typically because the vehicles use less fuel or a less expensive fuel, but it may also be due to lower maintenance costs. As a result, it is important for fleet managers to understand the total cost of ownership (TCO) implications of the vehicles they adopt. Fortunately, there is presently a tremendous array of alternative vehicle options on the market. Fleet operators have a wide range of choices available to them, including different emissions, operational, and cost characteristics. This report aims to help fleet operators differentiate among the various alternatives, with an emphasis on a comparative total cost of ownership analysis. Note that Pike Research focuses primarily on fleet vehicles as they would operate in North America, with additional coverage given to Western European vehicles and operations. 1.2 Alternative Fuel and Propulsion Types This report examines nine alternative fuel or propulsion types that could be adopted by a fleet in North America and Europe. Pike Research discusses the basic characteristics of each type, including the emissions profiles, fuel economy, fuel and infrastructure issues, availability of vehicles, and their cost. A comparative total cost of ownership (TCO) calculation is provided for the full range of alternative options, as TCO is still a pivotal factor for most fleet operators when choosing to buy vehicles. The alternative fuel and propulsion types considered in this report are: Biodiesel: Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from a variety of plant-based feedstocks that can be used instead of diesel, which is made from petroleum. It can be blended with diesel in varying percentages. This report focuses on B20, which has 20% biodiesel to 80% diesel, as this is the highest blend most likely to be used by current fleets. Ethanol/Flex-Fuel Vehicles: Ethanol is the second major type of biofuel used in transportation. It is an alcohol that is most often blended with gasoline. This report focuses on E85, an ethanol and gasoline mixture of as much as 85% ethanol. Vehicles that run on ethanol are called flex-fuel vehicles because they are equipped to fuel with various blends of ethanol or with gasoline alone. Propane/Autogas: Propane is a liquefied gas derived from natural gas processing and oil refining. In Europe, automotive propane is called autogas. It can be used in vehicles equipped with a propane conversion kit, most commonly in pickup trucks or medium-duty vehicles. 1

3 Alternative Fuel Vehicles for Fleet Operators Compressed Natural Gas: Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a very common fuel in transit operations in the United States and, to a lesser degree in Western Europe. It is also used in light duty vehicles, although at present, few automakers are offering natural gas light duty vehicles in the United States or Western Europe. Vehicles can be bi-fuel, which means they are equipped to run on either gasoline or CNG, but this report will focus on pure CNG vehicles. Stop-Start: Stop-start vehicles (SSVs) are gasoline or diesel vehicles equipped to allow the engine to stop when the vehicle is being slowed or idled, and then restart when driving is resumed. They are refueled at a standard gasoline or diesel fuel pump. They are sometimes called hybrid vehicles, but are not classified as hybrids in this report since they do not have two drivetrains. SSVs are already widely available in Europe and are becoming more available in the United States. Hybrid Electric: Hybrid electric vehicles are equipped with a gasoline engine and an electric drivetrain. The fuel savings from a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) varies depending on the system configuration and the vehicle size. HEVs have been commercially available for over a decade, so the technology and how it works is generally familiar to most fleet operators. Plug-In Hybrid Electric: A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid vehicle that has batteries that can accept a charge from the grid in addition to the vehicle using a liquid fuel. PHEVs can operate in electric mode between 10 to 40 miles, depending on the size of the battery and the drivetrain configuration. This segment is still quite new, and there are few models available in the United States and Europe. Battery Electric: Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) run only on batteries that are charged from the grid. These vehicles require charging infrastructure. BEV models are beginning to proliferate globally, though they are primarily focused in the smaller vehicle classes. Fuel Cell: Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are equipped with an electric drivetrain and a fuel cell that generates electricity on board from hydrogen. The hydrogen is stored in a compressed gaseous form in tanks FCVs require availability of a hydrogen refueling station. This technology is still under development. FCVs are currently only available in very few, selected markets for three-year leasing. 1.3 Total Cost of Ownership Comparison The centerpiece of this analysis is a sample comparison of total cost of ownership across all of the fuel and propulsion types featured in this report. This TCO comparison takes into consideration the upfront vehicle price, available incentives that offset the vehicle price, lifetime fuel costs, lifetime maintenance costs, and (in some cases) the vehicle s residual value. This is a simplified TCO analysis that does not include taxes or fees; financing; or insurance. These have not been included because they will vary by every locality and fleet. In addition, it is assumed that the difference in these variables will not primarily be determined by the fuel or propulsion type. This TCO is primarily intended to highlight the differences that occur as a result of the fuel or propulsion choice. The sample TCO primarily focuses on U.S. fleet vehicle operations. It is challenging to make comparisons that are valid across the United States, Canada and Europe, due to differing vehicle availability and cost and fuel prices. In addition, the fuel economy figures provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are not comparable to European fuel economy figures because the European drive cycle for calculating fuel economy is different than the U.S. drive cycle. European figures are used for two portions 2

The report also provides fleet operators an opportunity to create their own customized comparison. In the Excel worksheet accompanying this report, fleet operators can enter in varying lifetime mileage rates and fuel prices in order analyze their TCO and aid their understanding of how the alternatives will compare based on varying conditions. Fleet operators can also enter their own figures for vehicle price, incentives, miles per gallon (mpg) or miles per kilowatt-hour (kwh), and maintenance costs Results of TCO Comparison Table 1.1 shows the results of the TCO analysis for light-duty sedans based on current fuel prices in the United States and assuming 120,000 lifetime miles on the vehicle. The key factors in this comparative TCO analysis are the upfront vehicle price and the fuel price. The lowest alternative fuel option is the BEV, assuming that the fleet operator is able to claim the $7,500 federal tax credit. This is because of the high efficiency of the electric drivetrain combined with the assumption of relatively low electricity rates for charging. It is important to note that this analysis does not include the cost of infrastructure, which would potentially add several thousand dollars to the total cost to the fleet operator to adopt BEVs. The TCO also does not assign a price to the opportunity costs that result from the BEV s 100 mile range. This analysis assumes that a fleet operator will only adopt a BEV if it is appropriate for that fleet s service parameters. For a BEV, this would mean that the fleet is driven in a fairly limited geographic area and the vehicles are returned to a charging station location each night.

5 Alternative Fuel Vehicles for Fleet Operators Pike Research s TCO analysis also reveals the benefits of moving to a smaller vehicle, no matter the fuel type. The lowest TCO vehicles are the compact options, whether hybrid, gasoline, or compressed natural gas (CNG). The basic HEV comes in just slightly lower in terms of total lifetime costs than a gasoline compact car under this analysis. If the vehicles were to operate for significantly less than 120,000 miles, the HEV s fuel savings would not surpass the original vehicle price premium. However, it should be noted that hybrids are typically not the most basic model vehicles, but instead include some upgraded features that would add to the price of a comparable gasoline vehicle TCO Results across a Range of Fuel Prices As noted, the key factors in the comparative TCO analysis are the upfront vehicle price and the fuel price. It is a given that, at present, most alternative fuel or alternative propulsion vehicles carry a price premium over conventionally fueled vehicles. The one exception is the flex-fuel vehicle (FFV), which some OEMs offer as a standard feature. However, this is not true across the spectrum of FFVs. Because the basic gasoline vehicle will tend to have a lower cost than a comparable alternative vehicle, Pike Research s TCO analysis also looks at a range of fuel prices to determine at what fuel price the fleet operator is able to redeem the cost premium through fuel savings (and, to a lesser degree, maintenance savings). The analysis includes the TCO for a vehicle life of 120,000 miles and 75,000 miles. Chart 1.1 below shows one example of a TCO comparison with varying fuel prices at 120,000 lifetime miles. The example looks at mid-size sedans with four cylinders and 2.4 liter (L) engines. This is a typical vehicle class in use by fleet operators and it also offers one of the greater ranges of alternative options. The assumptions used for this chart include: Low price gas: $3.5/gallon Mid-price gas: $4.0/gallon High price gas: $5.0/gallon Low price diesel: $4.0/gallon High price diesel: $5.0/gallon Low price B20: $4.2/gallon High price B20: $5.2/gallon E85: $3.5/gallon CNG: $1.75/gge Low electric rate: $0.01/kWh High electric rate: $0.14/kWh PHEV-40 driven on electric power for 80% of lifetime miles PHEV-10 driven on electric power for 50% of lifetime miles 4

6 Alternative Fuel Vehicles for Fleet Operators Chart 1.1 shows the results of this analysis at high, medium, and low fuel prices. The analysis shows that the HEVs, diesel vehicles, and BEV with an offsetting tax credit all have lower TCO than the pure gasoline vehicle at low gas prices ($3.5/gallon). This TCO advantage will be strengthened as gasoline prices rise. By comparison, the flex-fuel and stop-start options do not pay off their higher sticker prices. It is important to note that, in this example, the FFV and SSV options have a higher price in part because the vehicles offered in the United States are at the higher end of their vehicle class in terms of amenities. This is a typical concern with conducting any TCO analysis, as some vehicle types simply do not have a wide range of offerings available. For these vehicles, it is more challenging to make a direct apples-to-apples comparison. For fleet operators that would have invested in a higher-cost gasoline model, the alternative fuel option may not bring such a large price premium. This could tilt the TCO analysis to favor the SSV or FFV. Fleets that wish to consider this scenario can enter their own data into the customizable charts offered in this report s data file.

In reality, most fleets will use a TCO analysis as only one of their considerations. The primary reasons to adopt clean fuel vehicles are, of course, the desire to lower tailpipe emissions, reduce the fleet s impact on air pollution and climate change, reduce exposure to gasoline price volatility, improve energy security, and generally behave as a good citizen. In addition, the fleet operator will be considering the utility of the vehicle adopted, whether it fits their particular type of operations, and the availability of fueling infrastructure. A TCO analysis would only be one factor among all of these considerations. 5

12 Section 10 SCOPE OF STUDY Pike Research has prepared this report to provide fleet operators with an overview of nine alternative fuel and propulsion vehicle types available today. This report briefly looks at the emissions and fuel economy characteristics, as well as fueling and infrastructure needs, of each type. It also discusses the availability of such alternative fuel and propulsion options in a range of vehicle classes that are prevalent in fleets in Europe and North America The report offers a list of incentives and grant programs available in Europe and North America for the adoption and operation of alternative technology vehicles. The report s major objective is to provide a tool for fleet operators to evaluate and compare these alternative fuel or propulsion options based on the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the vehicles. To support this goal, Pike Research provides a comparative analysis of TCO for the alternative fuel and propulsion types covered using averages for light-duty and medium-duty delivery vehicles. This is a simplified TCO comparison that takes into consideration the upfront vehicle price, available incentives that offset the vehicle price, lifetime fuel costs, lifetime maintenance costs, and (in some cases) the vehicle s residual value. This simplified TCO is primarily intended to highlight the differences that occur as a result of the fuel or propulsion choice. In the Excel worksheet accompanying this report, this report also provides a customizable TCO form where fleet operators can enter in varying lifetime mileage rates, fuel prices, vehicle price, incentives, miles per gallon (mpg) or miles per kilowatt-hour (kwh), and maintenance costs. The miles per gallon figures are primarily based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates, which are different than the figures that would be used in Europe. The report s purpose is not to provide an exhaustive technical assessment of the technologies and industries covered. Rather, it aims to provide a strategic examination of alternative fuel and alternative propulsion vehicle types from an overall tactical business perspective. Pike Research strives to identify and examine new market segments to aid readers in the development of their business models. 88
