Delivering Cost and Emission Savings

Dedicated Gas Trucks and Vans• Vehicle Availability

– Vans and trucks– Model releases growing

Guidance available at www.gasvehiclehub.org

• Infrastructure– Growing motorway network– Poor infrastructure in cities

• Environment (26t Urban Delivery Truck)– 86% reduction in NOx (Euro 5)– 97% reduction in PM (Euro 5)– Urban noise reductions (4 to 10 dB)– 60% reduction WTW CO2 (using biomethane)

• Economics– Station capacity dependent

• Cost & Environmental Challenges– High capacity / shared infrastructure required– Biomethane for CO2 savings

Delivering Cost and Emission Savings

Diesel-Electric Hybrid Trucks• Vehicle Availability

– Limited models in 7.5t – 26t trucks

• Infrastructure– None required

• Environment– Up to 20% fuel and CO2 savings– Associated air quality and noise savings

• Economics– Eco-Canter (step change in on-cost)

• 5 year paybacks• ~15,000 miles to 30,000 MPA• 10 – 15 MPG

• Cost & Environmental Requirements– Urban drive cycle for high fuel and CO2

savings– Urban drive cycle for low MPG

Delivering Cost and Emission Savings

Electric Vans (Small Panel Vans)• Vehicle Availability

– Over 5 models– Availability growing

• Range & Infrastructure– Real world range 50-80 miles

• Environment– Up to 40% WTW CO2 savings– Zero tail-pipe air quality and CO2 emissions

• Economics

• Cost & Environmental Requirements– Consistent and low daily mileage (~50 miles)– Economic infrastructure provision required
