1. Transportation & Sustainability: Options & Opportunity

2. “focused on reducing transportation related emissions in NC counties that have air quality concerns” Funded by the N.C. Department of Transportation with Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Funds. 2 Clean Fuel Advanced Technology 2013-2015

3. 3 NC Air Quality & Health

4. 4 24 counties do not meet national air quality standards for ozone.

5. 42% of the nation lives where pollution levels are dangerous http://www.stateoftheair.org/2013/key-findings/ 5 Ozone & Particulates can lead to: Asthma Attacks Chest pain Wheezing and coughing Shortness of breath Inflammation of lungs

6. 6 National Trends in Clean Transportation

7. Supply Exists, but harder to get Many nations historically unfriendly to US We often import more than we produce 7 Average US household spent close to $3,000 on gasoline in 2012 US Energy Information Administration Average US household spent close to $3,000 on gasoline in 2012 US Energy Information Administration Deman d Growing and industrializing world http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=33&t=6

9. 2006 -- diesel fuel converted to Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)  Cleaner-burning  97% less sulfur than Low-Sulfur Diesel 2007-2010 -- “Clean” Engine phase- in for heavy duty trucks Lowered NOx 96% & PM 90% compared to 1994 Increased cost of conventional vehicles 9 Heavy Duty Diesel Emissions

10. 10 Clean Transportation Solutions - Overview

11. There is no silver bullet! Efficiency Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Reduction Programs Idle Reduction Alternative fuels Advanced technology vehicles

12. Get more out of what you use: Eco Driving Vehicle maintenance Lower speeds and slower accelerations Overdrive gears and cruise control Remove excess weight “Right size” vehicle Eliminate unnecessary idling For every 5 mph over 60, your fuel efficiency decreases by 7%

13. Reduce Use: Combine or avoid trips Carpool Adjust routes Use Alternative modes - public transit, walk, bike

14. Idling is:  Expensive  $20 billion per year in US  Often restricted  Pollutes Idle reduction can be cheap and quick

15. Clean Transportation Technologies Fuels & Vehicles

16. Benefits of Fuel: Decreased emissions of NOx Reduced fuel costs Low carbon density Excellent choice for: Refuse Transit Delivery High mileage fleet applications

17.  Dedicated & Bi-fuel options  Soon on state contract  Models from Ford, Honda, GM, Cummins Westport  Warranties on many EPA certified up-fits  NC Clean Transportation Technology Industry Directory www.cleantransportation.org www.cleantransportation.org 17

18. Benefits of Fuel: Decreased emissions of NOx Lower cost fuel, fueling and conversion No loss of performance Excellent choice for: First responders Para-transit

19. Dedicated & Bi-fuel options Soon on state contract Models from Freightliner, Thomas Built, Roush (Ford) & Bluebird Warranties on many EPA certified up-fits NC Clean Transportation Technology Industry Directory www.cleantransportation.org www.cleantransportation.org

20. Benefits of Fuel: Decreased emissions Non-toxic and safe Often higher cost fuel No conversion required Excellent choice for: Existing vehicles Local economy 20

21. Benefits of fuel: Decreased emissions Can be low-cost Lower energy density No conversion required Excellent choice for: Existing vehicles Local economy More than 95% of U.S. gasoline contains up to 10% ethanol – US Dept. of Energy Flex fuel vehicles are often identified by this logo.

23. Option 1: Powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery but, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) Battery is charged by regenerative braking Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) Battery is charged by plugging into power source. Option 2: Powered by an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery All-Electric Vehicles (EV or PEV) Battery is charged by plugging into power source Benefits to fuel: Potential for zero emissions $0.50 to $0.70 per gallon equivalent Public recharging stations increasingly available
