University of California Fleet Management
On the Road to Carbon Neutrality
Agenda
• The University of California Fleet• Goal: Carbon Neutrality Initiative (2025)• Legislation: Where CA is going• Importance of Data• Vehicle Planning• What we can do, today
UC Fleet Management
• 10 campuses• 11 fleet management units• 6,000 vehicles total• 40% Alt Fuel
UC Office of the President: The Carbon Neutrality Initiative
Announced Nov. 2013
• "We are the University of California, and there is no reason that UC can't lead the world in this quest, as it has in so many others."
— UC President Janet Napolitano
• Carbon Neutral by 2025
• Global Climate Leadership Council (GCLC) formed 2014
Legislation: Where CA is going
October 2007
AB 118 - Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program September 2013
AB 8 - Additional funding for the AB 118, Carl Moyer, and AB 923 (expansion of Carl Moyer) programs until 1/1/24
October 2015
SB 350 - CA 2030 target to reduce GHG to 40% below 1990 level
December 2017
AB 1082 - Pilot installation of electrical charging stations at educational institutions
Key Milestones
CA GHG Inventory – Transportation Sector
California Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory: 2000–2015
The transportation sector remains the largest source of GHG emissions in the state, accounting for 37% of the inventory, and had an increase in emissions in 2015.
Emissions from the electricity sector continue to decline due to growing zero-GHG energy generation sources.
UC Sustainability Successes
• UCSD fleet is considered to be over 63% ‘Green’
• UCLA fleet is considered to be over 58% ‘Green’
• UCI is a Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System™ (STARS) Platinum-rated campus
• UCI operating all-electric bus fleet• UCSD, UCLA, UCSB and UCSC Fleets
awarded “Model Green Shop" or other Green Business awards by CA state
UC Sustainability Successes
• Fleet Incentive Programs• UCLA Secured more than $540,000 in 2017-18
• Active members in regional DOE Clean City Coalitions• Participation in AASHE, IARU
• Alt Fuel Types• RNG, BioDiesel, Hydrogen, Electric, Flex Fuel (E-85)
• Early Tech Adoption• Hydrogen Fuel, Electric Vehicles, Aftermarket Products
(plug-in hybrids, etc), Vegetable Oil Fuel, GPS Telematics, OEM early releases
Common Fleet Challenges
• Risk-Averse Public University Environment
• Policy/Funding Favors Large Projects
• Limited options in the vehicle market
• Campus Plan Informative, but Not Enforceable
• Car Culture• Big trucks, big statements
• Funding• Capital Costs for green tech,
infrastructure• Limited Staff for Green Fleet Needs
• Analytical, Purchase negotiations, etc
UC Fleet Sustainability Working Group
• Established 2017, in response to Carbon Neutrality Initiative
• Secured $50k CNI Pillar Funding
• Aggregate system-wide fleet data
• Create comprehensive strategy/plan for GHG reductions
• Seek opportunities for collective efforts
Aggregated Data• Analysis• Strategy• Opportunities for
Collective Efforts
Importance of Data
Machine Learning:• Aggregate, Validate & Analyze Data• Preserve & Share Institutional
Knowledge• Manage Regulatory Compliance• Develop & Support Sustainable Fleets• Develop Effective Procurement Plans
Reduce Idling
Benefits of Data Collection
By reducing idling by 25%• Potential Carbon Savings:
20MT carbon per year (UCLA)
• Potential Fuel Savings: $30,000 per year (UCLA)
Bio Fuels - A Bridge to Zero Emission / CNI
University of California Strategies for Decarbonization: Replacing Natural Gas TomKat Natural Gas Exit Strategies Working Group Report to the TomKatFoundation February 2018
Biogas: A “Drop in” Option, approximately two-thirds of UC’s systemwide CO2 emissions result from burning natural gas
Take Away:
• Utilize drop in bio fuels now
• Delivered natural gas & electricity will be de-carbonized upstream of campus or at campus level
• Electrification of UC fleet is clearly the path we are on – BEV, PHEV and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles
Fleet Right-Sizing & Utilization
By Vehicle
Wrong Vehicle Type: Over-Spec’d
• Poor Fuel Efficiency
• High Capital
• Bad PR
Wrong Vehicle Type: Overloaded
• Poor Durability
• High Repair Costs
• Illegal
By FleetBasic Concept: Reduce fleet size overall• Carsharing• Transportation Network Companies (TNC)• Alternative modes of transport
Infrastructure: Strategize Resource Sharing• Not every vehicle needs a Level II charger
Why Start Now:What is purchased today will still be operating in 2025
