Southface Journal of Sustainable Building • Volume 4, December 1997 Alternative Fueled Vehicles Bring a Breath of Fresh Air by Julie Simon and Kent Iglehart Compressed natural gas MARTA bus Atlantans drive more miles each day on average than in any other US city: 33 miles (53 km) per day per capita. The daily total reached 100 million miles (160 million km) in 1995 and continues to grow. All that driving fouls the air we breathe and contributes to the need to import growing quantities of petroleum. Although measures to increase walking, bicycling, rail, and other transportation options are urgently needed in Atlanta, people will continue to need personal motor vehicles for decades to come. Alternative fueled vehicles (AFVs), powered by electricity, natural gas, and propane can provide a more environmentally benign alternative to vehicles powered by gasoline. Alternatives to gasoline have been around for a long time. In fact, in 1900, Americans owned more electric vehicles (EVs) than gasoline-powered cars. The electric RAV4 EV1 The push for AFVs resurfaced as the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments drastically reduced allowable emissions and mandated sales of zero-emission and other clean vehicles. Currently, more than 2,000 AFVs are being driven in the Atlanta area, including the highly visible MARTA natural gas buses, UPS natural gas delivery trucks, EVs at Perimeter Mall and Emory, and propane trucks in DeKalb County to name a few. Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) operate on the same natural gas many people have in their homes. To enable sufficient storage, natural gas is compressed to between 2,400 and 3,600 pounds per square inch (psi) in cylinders that have proven to be much safer than gasoline tanks. Due to limitations in storage capacity, NGVs have a range of 100 to 250 miles per fill. NGVs can refuel under low pressure at about a gallon an hour or, under high pressure, in time comparable to filling a gasoline tank.

AFVs at the Torrance City Yards Open House Not every alternative-fueled vehicle is as svelte and sexy as my van ; there are also lots of workhorses out there, like the GM EV1 . Wait a minute, I think I got that backwards... Actually, except for the EV1 and the recently discontinued Honda EV Plus , all modern alternative-fueled vehicles from major automakers have been designed and marketed for fleet and commercial rather than consumer use; I had to sweet-talk a number of fleet sales folks to get my hands on my natural-gas-powered trucks. The City of Torrance, CA, has one of the first vehicle fleets to make a major commitment to alternative-fueled vehicles; the station they and the Gas Company built in 1995 to supply compressed natural gas ( CNG ) for their vehicles is open to the public, and has been one of my two main refueling stations, so I have a specially high regard for their efforts. Recently I was refueling my van at their station, and I happened to see a sign advertising an Open House at the City Yards, so I got to go behind the fence at the back of the station for the first time. Many of their AFVs are light-duty cars and trucks, like this Dodge Caravan minivan in their van pool, here up on a lift to show off its underbody CNG tanks. I also saw that they have at least one CNG-powered Honda

Last update: Mon Feb 17 Environmental Initiatives Bio-diesel Fuel All of the University of Michigan diesel powered equipment, including more than 55 buses, are now powered by bio-diesel fuel. This fuel, called B20, is a blend of 20% bio-diesel with a 80% low sulfur diesel fuel. The bio-diesel fuel is a soy based product that when burned produces fewer emissions. It is also a renewable energy source and reduces our reliance on foreign oil. The University of Michigan is one of the first fleets in Michigan or elsewhere to utilize bio-diesel. Note: Bio-diesel fuel is temporarily being suspended from use on campus during the months of February and March 2002. We have experienced cold starting problems with some of our diesel vehicles that were stored outside during the late December and January. These problems may or may not be related to bio-diesel. B20 will again be used in all diesel vehicles beginning again in April. Ethanol Powered Vehicles Parking and Transportation Services purchased more than 100 ethanol powered vehicles in 2000, and plans to purchase more than 100 more in 2001. These vehicles, Ford Tauruses, Plymouth Caravans and Chevrolet S-10 pickup trucks are all fueled with E-85 Ethanol fuel, a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. We also installed a 10,000 gallon ethanol underground storage tank in 2000, which enables us to fuel all of these vehicles on-site. The University of Michigan is a leader in ethanol fuel usage, as we have more ethanol powered vehicles in use than any other fleet in Michigan. Ethanol is a cleaner fuel than gasoline and is a renewable energy source. This fuel is refined from corn.

B.01.18 UPGRADE FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY: ALTERNATIVELY FUELED VEHICLES last updated 09/97 PROJECT OBJECTIVE To insure a minimum level of integrity for the fuel containers and systems of vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or propane), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, and other alternative fuels, excluding electric. BACKGROUND Although alternatively fueled vehicles have been in use in this country for many years, interest in them has just recently shown rapid increase. This increased interest is expected to result in a 150% increase in the number of such vehicles on the nations roads by the year 2000. NHTSA has decided to be proactive in this area by taking a national leadership role to assure that the fuel systems and components of these vehicles perform safely on the road and in crashes. In January of 1993, NHTSA issued an NPRM to establish performance requirements for OEM vehicles fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). The NPRM was divided into two segments 1) vehicles requirements which focus on the integrity of the fuel system as a whole, and

Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Events Alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs) are in the news more and more these days, and they are showing up not only at environment-themed events but also at mainstream auto shows. I have been in Los Angeles long enough to have seen the unveiling of the GM Impact concept car at the 1990 L.A. Auto Show, and the unveiling at the 1996 L.A. Auto Show of the production GM EV1 that evolved from the Impact, and lots of other premieres and demonstrations besides. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of photos to share from these past events, but from now on I'll bring my digital camera to such opportunities and post illustrated reports here. I'll also provide driving reports, with photos, for alternative-fueled vehicles I get a chance to rent or borrow. I hope this will give you some idea of the breadth of developments going on that are bringing AFVs into the mainstream! 6 September 2002 : Finish line of the California Fuel Cell Partnership's "California Coast 2002 Road Rally" in Santa Barbara, CA 5-13 January 2002 : Alternative-fueled vehicles at the 2002 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show 10-14 October 2001 : Alternative-fueled vehicles (and others) at the 2002 California International Auto Show in Anaheim, CA

Results of the 6th Annual Alternative Energy Vehicle Rally September 27-29, 1997 On Saturday, September 27, 1997 solar electric-powered and alternative-fueled vehicles rallied once again in Central Florida for the Sixth Annual Sunday Challenge a 72 mile course along public roadways. Thousands of people came out to view the start of the SunDay Challenge at the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) in Cocoa and the finish at Epcot in Walt Disney World near Orlando. The vehicles completed performance testing before with an autocross in the Brevard Community College/University of Central Florida-Brevard parking lot. There also was an electric bike race on Saturday to determine the winner in the EV Bike category. Solar, electric, hydrogen, and fuel cell-powered vehicles from all parts of the country participated including entries from universities, corporations, and entrepreneurs. This "high tech" showcase, sponsored by the Florida Solar Energy Center and the Florida Energy Office of the Florida Department of Community Affairs, promotes a "better way" to travel now as well as in the future and is designed to call attention to the practical and environmental benefits of alternative fuel commuter vehicles. By definition, an alternative-energy vehicle is one that utilizes a primary power source other than gasoline or diesel fuel. To reflect various design orientations, the rally will include the following vehicle classes:

91. Body The National Energy Act states that Federal agencies must acquire alternative fueledvehicles as an effort to reduce pollution and emissions in Metropolitan http://www.aphis.usda.gov/mb/aseu/property/afv_guide.htm

ALTERNATIVE FUELED VEHICLE (AFV) GUIDE Executive Order (EO) 13031, signed December 17, 1996, Federal Alternative Fueled Vehicle Leadership, requires all Federal agencies to develop and implement an aggressive AFV program in compliance with the National Energy Act of 1992. The following information is provided to assist you in the purchasing of AFVs. 1. What are the requirements of the Executive Order and the Energy Act? 2. What is an MSA? 3. What is an AFV? 4. Where can I find out more information on the EO and AFVs? ... 5. Are there phone numbers I can call for more information? What are the requirements of the Executive Order and the Energy Act? The National Energy Act states that Federal agencies must acquire alternative fueled vehicles as an effort to reduce pollution and emissions in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). To comply with the Executive Order and the Energy Act, Federal agencies must acquire the following percentages in the given fiscal year (FY): For 1999 and beyond the Executive Order requires that 75% of all vehicles acquired be alternative fueled vehicles. Acquisitions covered under the Executive Order include vehicles obtained through the GSA Interagency Fleet Management System, commercial leases and actual purchase of vehicles. Law enforcement vehicles and vehicles located outside Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) are exempt from the requirements.

"Creating a Cleaner Future through Alternative Fuels for Florida" An alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) is one that is fueled by methanol, ethanol, biofuels, natural gas, propane, electricity or hydrogen. By converting cars, buses, and trucks to use alternative fuels, we can actively take steps to protect the environment, improve the quality of the air we breathe, reduce our dependence on foreign oils, and create new jobs and markets in our communities. Transportation related emissions from gasoline and diesel fueled vehicles contribute to more than 50% of the air pollution in the Florida Gold Coast region. Ground level ozone pollution increases the likelihood of respiratory illnesses, headaches and crop damages. Using alternative fuels greatly reduces ozone forming emissions and exposure to toxins, and improves the air quality in our cities. More than 1/3 of all Americans live in cities that violate Federal public health standards for air quality. Vehicles using alternative fuels reduce oil spills and run off, and improves the quality of our water supply.
