Cleaner Fuels
What are Cleaner Fuels? Reduce Air Pollution and Get Your Reduced Rental Rate or Purchase Price for an Electric, Natural Gas or Hybrid Car Now! The most familiar transportation fuels in this country are gasoline and diesel fuel, but many other energy sources are capable of powering motor vehicles. These include electricity, natural gas, fuel cells, ethanol, methanol and propane. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, but all of them have the potential to produce less air pollution than gasoline or diesel fuel. This is true even compared to a newer, cleaner car with the latest emission control technology.
Why Switch to Cleaner Fuels?
Cars operating on today's gasolines emit complex mixtures of compounds that lead to the formation of ground-level ozone, and many of these compounds are also toxic. A lot has been done to reduce automobile pollution, from development of innovative emission control technologies like catalytic converters, to the establishment of inspection and maintenance programs. But each year there are more cars on the road, traveling more miles, and the pollution control measures taken so far have not been sufficient to solve the ozone problem in many cities. Diesel-powered vehicles are small in numbers compared to the total vehicles in California, but diesel engines account for 40 percent of the total nitrogen oxide emissions and about 60 percent of the total particulate matter from mobile sources. Diesel is also a major contributor to ozone air pollution in California, but diesel-powered vehicles have not been subject to the same stringent emission controls and testing requirements as gasoline-powered cars.

Preface
The public's need for cleaner air resulted in legislation and regulation that promote the introduction of alternative fuel vehicles into California's marketplace. The California Energy Commission has developed this Resource Guide to inform local governments and fleet operators of the infrastructure needed to support alternative fuel vehicles. Through this effort, the California Energy Commission hopes to facilitate alternative fuel vehicle acquisition and consistent regulatory treatment of alternative fuel vehicle fueling and charging stations statewide. This guide was developed in response to a recommendation put forth in the California Energy Commission's Calfuels Plan: Developing an Infrastructure Plan for Alternative Fuel Vehicles (Commission Publication number P500-94- 002, available by calling 916-654-5200).

Alternative Fueled Vehicles and Alternative Vehicle Fuels Driving a car fueled by something other than gasoline or diesel fuel is no longer the stuff of science fiction. In addition to conventional gasoline and diesel fuel, reformulated - cleaner - gasoline and alternative fuels now are sold in many parts of the country. Alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and electricity produce fewer tail pipe pollutants than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. Using them could improve our air quality. This brochure explains the labels you'll see on alternative fueled vehicles and alternative fuel dispensers, and suggests several important factors to consider as you investigate the options. Alternative Fueled Vehicles
AFVs are vehicles that operate on alternative fuels, such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, electricity, and others designated by the U.S. Department of Energy. Some AFVs can run on conventional fuels, such as gasoline, and alternative fuels. They are called dual-fueled vehicles.

Alternative Fuel Vehicles - Overview
To reduce and control air pollution emissions from mobile sources, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed a strategy that employs the acquisition and use of alternative fueled vehicles. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 1990, the EPA calls for reductions of air borne toxic chemicals by utilizing clean fuel vehicles (CFVs) that operate on clean burning fuel, instead of conventional petroleum-based fuels. Furthermore, the Department of Energy under the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992 mandates the acquisition of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) to decrease America's dependence on petroleum-based products. Both the CAA and EPAct provide regulations governing the utilization of alternative or clean fuel vehicles, therefore both federal statutes may apply to fleet operations. For a comparison of AFV requirements between these two statutes see Table 1.0. In addition, Executive Order 13149 mandates the federal government to reduce petroleum consumption by utilizing AFVs, requiring agencies operating 20 or more vehicles to reduce the annual consumption of petroleum by 20% by the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2005, using FY 1999 as the baseline. These mandates for fleet operations to acquire AFVs can be met by purchasing, leasing, or converting vehicles currently operating on conventional gasoline.

Section 3:
Alternatively Fueled Vehicles
Today's teenagers are among the first generation that will have real choices about the kinds of fuel used in new cars. Domestic and import automakers have been developing a range of alternative-fuel vehicles, and those are expected to be available in showrooms over the coming years. By 1999, in California at least 500,000 clean-fuel cars will be available for sale each year. In addition, some companies and governments with fleets of cars are required to buy the new cleaner cars. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) require gasoline refiners to reformulate gasoline sold in the smoggiest areas. Reformulated gasoline reduces emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and contains less benzene than conventional gasoline. Some areas are required to provide oxyfuel (gas with more oxygen added decreases fuel economy) to burn more efficiently and reduce carbon monoxide. All fuels are required to contain detergents to reduce pollutants. The CAAA also encourages the development of alternative fuels, such as alcohols, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and natural gas, and requires automakers to build some cars that use cleaner fuels.

Alternative Fuels and Vehicles
There are many fuels today being used as "alternatives" to gasoline. In most instances, the alternative fuel is less polluting than gasoline, resulting in fewer harmful emissions into the air and a lower negative impact on human health. Many organizations in cities in the United States have voluntarily adopted programs to use alternative fuels in their fleets. These same cities are making efforts to provide the fueling infrastructure nescessary to operate alternatively fueled vehicles. Clean Cities , the U.S. Department of Energy program guiding these efforts, came about due to federal laws limiting air pollution levels to protect both the environment and human health.

There's a lot to be said for the sound and feel of a high-revving engine accompanied by a few choice power shifts, or for that matter the visceral thrill of 10 cylinders motivating a scorching straight-line launch. We may still experience this decades into the future. But after more than 100 years with internal combustion and gasoline, it's apparent that things are changing. Within the next decade or two, there's a good chance you'll be driving a vehicle powered by an advanced powerplant that's far removed from the familiar internal combustion engine now residing beneath your hood. Government regulation, environmental pressures, and market competition have spurred accelerated research and development into alternative fuels and the vehicles that run on them, creating a new twist in the motor vehicle's evolution. Clearly, the darling of technology buffs and environmentalists has been the electric vehicle (EV). Battery-powered cars, pickups, and sport/utility vehicles - the majority of them used in fleet operations - have been cruising our highways for half-a-dozen years in certain areas of the country, mostly Southern and Northern California. This all began with the debut of General Motors' two-seat EV1 sports car at Saturn dealers in the fall of 1996, making GM the first major automaker since the early 1900s to offer a car specifically built to run on electricity. The EV1 is further distinguished as the only electric vehicle aimed at consumers rather than fleets.

The vehicles have one tank and can accept any mixture of gasoline and the alternative fuel. E85 Public Video Gas-Electric Hybrids- Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the internal combustion engine of a conventional vehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle, resulting in twice the fuel economy of conventional vehicles. This combination offers the extended range and rapid refueling that consumers expect from a conventional vehicle, with a significant portion of the energy and environmental benefits of an electric vehicle. The practical benefits of HEVs include improved fuel economy and lower emissions compared to conventional vehicles. The inherent flexibility of HEVs will allow them to be used in a wide range of applications, from personal transportation to commercial hauling.

57. Approaching Alternative-Fueled Vehicle Crashes - The Police Notebook"
The Police Notebook Law Enforcement Internet site to promote safety and crime prevention information.
http://www.ou.edu/oupd/altfuel.htm
The purpose of this brochure is to assist law enforcement officers, fire services, emergency medical service providers and other public safety personnel who arrive on the scene of an alternative-fueled vehicle crash. Emergency personnel must identify the specific type of fuel and secure the scene so rescue work can begin.
They also need to know when to call for trained personnel equipped with proper protective gear for assistance. The goal is to protect the first arriving emergency responders, occupants of the vehicles, and bystanders at the scene.
Described below are the key features and emergency approach procedures for five of the most common types of alternative-fueled vehicles (AFV).
The first objective is to identify the specific type of alternative-fueled vehicle. Look for special fuel ports, distinctive profiles, and any written markings on the vehicle.
Except for selected local areas, these vehicles are not required to be identified and there are no standardized placards, logos or symbols for the identification of each type of AFV as there are for railroad tank cars and trucks. We have included several examples of identifying symbols for each alternative-fueled vehicle, however, these symbols may vary in size and color.

LOCATING THE LPG OR CNG FUEL CONTAINERS
In most LPG or CNG vehicles, containers will be found in the trunk area, under the side panel of a van or school bus, on the frame, or in the bed of a pick up truck. Expect a majority of the vehicles to be owned by a fleet service such as buses, taxi cabs, or utility companies.

Car/Fuel CO Data
Alternative Fuel vehicles/Conversions
The Database contains data on a few vehicles running 'alternative' fuel Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and hybrid vehicles. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is another alternative fuel for road vehicles.
LPG and CNG cars are generally converted from petrol fueled cars, either by the original manufacturer or by an after market converter. For reasons of practicality, CNG and LPG vehicles tend to be dual fuel vehicles i.e. they can run on either petrol or the gaseous fuel.
It is VCA's understanding that with regard company car tax, if a vehicle is converted post registration then the vehicles original CO figure will be used for taxation purposes unless formal approved test data can be supplied.
The Government supports the purchase of alternatively fuelled vehicles through the Powershift programme. Powershift provides information on all aspects of clean fuel vehicles and can provide grants to help offset the extra costs of purchasing an alternative fuel vehicle or converting an existing vehicle to run on an alternative fuel. These include hybrid vehicles and vehicles running on CNG, LPG and electricity.
To find out more about Powershift and the grants available, contact the Powershift Hotline: 0845 6021425 and ask for a Powershift Application Pack or visit their website at;

Alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs) are in the news more and more these days, and they are showing up not only at environment-themed events but also at mainstream auto shows . I have been in Los Angeles long enough to have seen the unveiling of the GM Impact concept car at the 1990 L.A. Auto Show, and the unveiling at the 1996 L.A. Auto Show of the production GM EV1 that evolved from the Impact, and lots of other premieres and demonstrations besides. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of photos to share from these past events, but from now on I'll bring my digital camera to such opportunities and post illustrated reports here. I'll also provide driving reports , with photos, for AFVs I get a chance to rent or borrow. I hope this will give you some idea of the breadth of developments going on that are bringing AFVs into the mainstream!

Alternative Fuels and Vehicles Alternative Fuel Vehicle Choices Despite the differences in each alternative fuel vehicle and alternative fuels, they all provide the foundation for a reduced dependence on foreign oil and for cleaner air. Dual-fuel vehicles operate on combinations of an alternative fuel with gasoline or diesel fuel, which are injected into the combustion chamber at the same time. Two separate fuel tanks are required. The dual-fuel option is used mostly in heavy-duty or diesel engines. Flexible fuel vehicles run on gasoline, on an alternative fuel, or on a combination of the two, and only one fuel system is required. Ethanol and methanol vehicles are flex-fuel vehicles and run on either gasoline or a mixture of gasoline and an alcohol fuel. Bi-fuel vehicles operate on either an alternative fuel or conventional gasoline, using only one of the fuels at a time. Two separate fuel tanks are required. Bi-fuel vehicles are advantageous for drivers who do not always have convenient access to an alternative fuel fueling station.
