Abstract | The Alternative Fuels for Vehicles Fleet Demonstration Program (AFV-FDP) was a multi-year effort to collect technical data for use in determining the costs and benefits of alternative fuel vehicles in typical applications in New York State. This volume provides expanded reporting of AFV-FDP technical details, including the complete texts of the brochure Garage Guidelines for Alternative Fuels and the technical report Fleet Experience Survey Report, plus an extensive glossary of AFV terminology. Information is presented by fuel within broad categories of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles. Topics covered for each vehicle and fuel type (compressed natural gas, ethanol, methanol, LPG/propane, electric) include: fuel description and properties; emissions reactivity; greenhouse gases; vehicle technology; refueling infrastructure; fuel economy; reliability and durability; acceleration; emissions; fuel costs; safety; facility modifications; other demonstrations; and lessons learned. The report encompasses the results of AFV use in 21 fleets in New York State operating a mix of 257 AFVs that logged 7.3 million miles of operation using the equivalent of 862,000 gallons of conventional fuels. |
