When it comes to alternative-fuel systems for medium-duty (Class 4-7) trucks, one size does not fit all. Fleets have five green options to consider.
There are numerous second-stage manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers who can convert gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles to a variety of alternative-fuel options, delivering the same performance with the benefits of a lower total cost of ownership.
With the advent of new and improved fuel technology, more fleets are taking advantage of alternative fuels and creating greener, more sustainable fleets. But, despite their best efforts,fleets face a major roadblock: funding.
By comparing the TCO of diesel, E-85, CNG, hybrid, and electric vehicle options with similar gasoline-fueled vehicles, fleet managers can determine the total cost of integrating alt-fuel vehicles into the fleet.
Fleet professionals are expecting higher gas prices, tight inventory, longer warranty periods, fuel tax incentives and texting-while-driving bans.
From hybrids to electric vehicles, it is important to have the right fuel to drive down fuel costs.
Both commercial and public sector fleets are steadily increasing their totals of alternative-fueled fleets.
The familiar brown UPS truck fleet operates one of the country’s largest alternative-powered vehicle fleets. The company’s strategy includes deploying a mix of vehicles in its 1,600-unit AFV fleet.
