  3. Natural Gas is a Great Choice • Wide applicability (autos, trucks, buses, forklifts, etc.) • North American fuel supply • High well-to-wheel efficiency • Fuel cost < gasoline and diesel • Wide range of infrastructure possibilities • SULEV / ILEV / AT PZEV capable • Low carbon fuel • Proven performance, known costs • Renewable Natural Gas

  4. Natural Gas is a Low Carbon Fuel (North American Natural Gas)

  5. Renewable Biogas Super Ultra Low Carbon Fuel

  6. Light and Medium duty • Honda Civic Natural Gas • Chrysler • Ram 2500 • General Motors • Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500

  7. Light and Medium- duty Upfitting • Landi Renzo USA/Baytech • www.landiusa.com • Impco Technologies • www.impcotechnologies.com • BAF Technologies • www.BAFtechnologies.com

  10. Frito Lay Runs with Natural Gas • “The payback for the extra cost of the natural gas trucks is a year and a half, so it’s a little bit of a no-brainer.” • - Michael O’Connell, Senior Director of Fleet Capability, Frito Lay (NYT April 17, 2012)

  11. Every Manufacturer In • Cummins Westport • Daimler – Freightliner • Navistar • Volvo • Paccar – Peterbilt, Kenworth • Autocar • Mack

  12. Latest Natural Gas Product News • Cummins Westport offers 11.9-liter, dedicated-natural gas, spark-ignition ISX12 G engine • Impco adding GM Crew Cab bi-fuel for 2014 MY • Luxfer – G-Stor Pro – new line of CNG tanks • Quantum announces next generation carbon fiber CNG tanks

  13. Advances to Watch For • Aerodynamics, catalysts, engine efficiency, fuel blends • Low Pressure Adsorption Tanks • Lower cost, conformable, less pressure • Turbine Drive - 350kW for Class 8 trucks • Improved efficiency and 75% lower emissions

  14. AB 118 Program - AFRVT • Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program • Run by California Energy Commission • Approximately $12 million per year for NGV buy-down incentives and infrastructure support • Last offering was $3,000-$30,000/vehicle • CEC reviewing funding distribution process • Next solicitation probably late summer/early fall

  15. Clean Car “White Sticker” Program • High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane access for qualifying single occupant vehicles • Vehicles must meet both CA SULEV and federal ILEV emission standards • No weight class restriction • Program extended through 2014 • Senate Bill 286 – would extend this program through 2017

  16. Federal Incentives • Alternative Fuel excise tax credit for alternative fuels - $.50/gallon through 12/31/2013 • Up to 30% tax credit for refueling infrastructure
