Environmental & Energy Security


• Dependence on foreign oil threatens national and economic security

− Oil price shocks have wreaked havoc on the global economy

− There is no free market for oil

− American dependence on other oil-producing nations distorts foreign policy

• Transportation sector accounts for 70% of total oil consumed by US

• FedEx Goal: Improve vehicle efficiency by 20% by 2020

Vehicles & Technology

Evaluate & Develop Best Vehicle

Chicago (GYYA) project

Optimum vehicle specs for

package delivery application

Evaluate competing types of

EVs on regular city routes

Vehicle Retrofit Project

Replace conventional

drivetrain (diesel/gas) in

older FXE PUD vehicles

with new all-electric

drivetrain

Electrification

of Transportation

Support Functions

Develop Ideal Infrastructure

NYC (WTCA) project –

GE+ConEd+Columbia University

Interface with FXE Properties

Charger placement at station

Electrical upgrades

Local building codes, fire codes, etc.

Interface with FXE Safety

OSHA, incidence response, disabled vehicle retrieval

Interface with FXE Technology Services

Smart Grid systems

Smart Grid charging

NYC (JRAA) project –GE+ConEd

DOE funded

Reduce cost of infrastructure

Cost Effectiveness


Battery Cost and Life


EV Retrofit Process (FCCC)

A123 Li-ion Batteries Enova Electric Drive-train

…..extract existing diesel power-plant and transmission….. Existing FXE vehicle (close to time for diesel powertrain replacement)

FXE Electric Vehicle

…..install batteries and electric drive-train…..


Infrastructure & Demand Charging

EVs add significant load

Graph depicts the electrical load in

amps during a typical day at a 120-

van station

Charging just 10 EVs during “off

peak” will increase the “off peak” load

to “peak” or higher level, that could

result in:

•Additional infrastructure costs

besides just EVSEs

•Additional “demand” rate charges
