Step 4: Get Results
Using the inputs provided, this tool calculates the full life-time costs, including capital and operating, of both the hybrid and conventional vehicles and the difference in cost between the two. The total lifetime savings of hybrid replacement vehicles, for both emissions and monetary costs, are presented first. Negative numbers imply a cost rather than a savings. The tool does not monetize the value of reducing emissions, however, fleets in communities with air quality problems should consider emissions savings when calculating the true lifecycle costs of hybrid purchases.
