CALSTART Smart alternative fuels and technology workshop
This document summarizes a workshop on smart alternative fuels and technology for fleets. The workshop included sessions on advanced fuels, vehicles and sustainability strategies for fleets; the key steps to plan a sustainability path; an update on alternative fuels and high efficiency vehicles for fleets; and a session on myths and facts regarding new fuels and technologies. The document outlines a session on making sustainability work for fleets, noting that proper deployment and matching vehicles to duty cycles are important to maximize fuel savings. It provides an example of a utility truck fleet that saw fuel savings ranging from 14% to 54% depending on duty cycle and driver behavior.
