Medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs) are a critical component of the economy, delivering goods and services to people in every community throughout the country. At the same time, they represent a significant source of emissions in the U.S. (28% in 2022). To effectively reduce emissions from these vehicles while not imposing unreasonable costs on the owners and their customers requires careful consideration and evaluation of available options.
The Transportation Energy Institute (TEI) has released two new resources, Practical Guide to Cost Effective Fleet Emissions Reductions and the online altfleetinsight.mobilityfutureslab.com as we recognize the importance of supporting fleets in reducing emissions, whether they are pursuing their own environmental objectives, seeking to satisfy demands from their customers, or complying with regulatory requirements.
The guide provides a flexible roadmap that can be tailored to the requirements of a variety of fleets, vehicle types, and use cases. Small to large fleet operations can benefit from taking a close look at the options available to reduce emissions and how such options may affect capital and operational expenses. Fleet owners and operators are encouraged to use this guide to better understand and assess the application and impact of the available technologies.
The AltFleet Economic Impact tool enables fleet owners and interested stakeholders to evaluate the environmental and economic impact of different vehicle technologies and fuel choices. Users can customize the tool to fit their markets and operations, from how the vehicles are used to how they will access energy to how the company will pay for them. The tool calculates all of these variables to deliver an economic and emissions reduction report to help guide decision makers as they consider their options.
The guide and economic insight tool will arm both private and public fleet owners and operators with the knowledge and resources needed to identify and implement the emissions reduction options that are right for them.
Whether you are starting from scratch or considering the next steps on your existing decarbonization journey, this guide is for you. The accompanying AltFleet Economic Insight Tool helps to support decision-making by providing bespoke cost analysis for your fleet vehicles.
