9. LIQUID NATURAL GAS Lower cost to install fueling facilities
LNG fuel tank interchangeable with diesel fuel tank
Higher cost per gallon
LNG fuel tank and fuel is heavier

10. LNG TANK INSTALLED

11. COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS
Lower cost per gallon
Lighter fuel tanks and fuel
Cost of installing fueling facilities double that of an LNG facility
Fuel tanks are bulky and must be protected, usually placed behind the cab of the truck

13. DUAL FUEL
VEHICLES

14. VEHICLE TYPES
DUAL FUEL VEHICLES
BI-FUEL VEHICLES
HYBRID VEHICLES

15. DEFINITION
DUAL FUEL Vehicles that can operate on two fuels simultaneously
GENERALLY Diesel and CNG or LNG
BI-FUEL Vehicles that operate on two fuels individually
GENERALLY Gasoline and LPG
HYBRID Vehicles operate on two fuels simultaneously or individually
GENERALLY Gasoline and E-85 or M85

16. FUELS USED Diesel Fuel Primary fuel used to operate the engine
LNG or CNG Secondary fuels introduced to reduce emissions. It can only be used in combination with diesel fuel

18. FUEL SYSTEM Starts and idles on diesel 160 degrees looks for
alternative fuel.
If alternative fuel is
available the system
begins injecting

20. CUSTOMER BASE Government entities
Private companies with government contracts
Private Companies interested in alternative fuel sources

21. INTRASTATE CARRIERS Diesel Fuel Tax paid when fuel is purchased
LNG & CNG
Tax paid by carrier directly
to the Board on a return or
by purchasing Flat Rate
Stickers

22. DUAL FUEL & PTO How do they claim refunds ? PTO Vehicles
A customer base for dual
fuel vehicles are waste
disposal companies. These
vehicles operate PTO’s and
claim refunds with the BOE
How do they claim refunds ?

23. INTERSTATE CARRIERS Diesel Tax paid at the pump in California
LNG or CNG Tax paid to the BOE Cannot use California Flat Rate Sticker
Tax Reporting Join IFTA or buy fuel trip permits

24. EXAMPLE OF DIESEL AND DUAL FUEL IFTA FLEET
10 Diesel vehicles
Travel 100,000 miles a quarter between CA& NV
40% of those miles are in Nevada
All fuel is purchased in California
10 Dual fuel vehicles
Travel 100,000 miles a quarter between CA& NV
10% of those miles are in Nevada
All fuel is purchased in California
How do they report?

25. COMBINED DIESEL SCHEDULE

26. DUAL FUEL CNG SCHEDULE

27. SPLIT FLEET REPORTING Carrier must file two IFTA Reports
The IFTA account number is coded to identify the dual fuel fleet
Report an accurate fleet MPG

29. DUAL FUEL DIESEL SCHEDULE

30. DUAL FUEL CNG SCHEDULE

31. CHALLENGES OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Accounting for each new fuel type
Standardized measurement of the fuel
(Therm vs. PSI)
Tax on new fuel types
Combination of fuels being used
