Background1. There is an abundance of Natural Gas available in the U.S. 2. Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas that has been

converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport.3. Tractor Manufacturers have been developing tractors in

order to utilize natural gas as a transportation fuel.4. Various incentives (grants and tax) are available to offset

some of the capital investment associated with LNG as a transportation fuel.

5. LNG fuel is substantially less expensive than Diesel6. LNG/CNG fit the UPS sustainability mission

BackgroundBenefits of LNG as a Transportation Fuel1.Reduces dependence on Foreign Oil2.Lower Emissions than Diesel Fuel3.Financial ($1.75 per gallon price gap)

Annual Savings*Miles per Day LNG SI

300 $ 14,382 400 $ 19,176 500 $ 23,970 600 $ 28,763 700 $ 33,557 800 $ 38,351 900 $ 43,145

Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience”

The first 10 duel fuel LNG tractors and 1 Mack SI were put in service in Ontario,Ca in 2001.

In 2011 we introduced the Kenworth/ Westport HPDI to the UPS fleet in Ontario and Las Vegas NV.

In 2012 that build continued with additional tractors added to Salt Lake City and Beaver Utah.           

Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience”

Experiences along the way

Kenworth & Westport support on initial build was excellent for driver and mechanic training.

Good dealer support and network.          

Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience”

Experiences along the wayTractor range was very dependent on:Driving skillsTerrainWind conditionsType of trailer combinationWeight of loadsFueling skills of driverConditioning tanks on initial fills          

Fleet Perspective- The LNG “experience”

Experiences along the wayLNG shop requirements were difficult to understand.Limited locations to benchmark from.Consultants were needed to move forward with shop designs. Maintenance issues had a steep learning curve.         

Fleet Perspective- The LNG “experience”

Experiences along the way

Very good driver acceptance after initial fear of LNG and a different design of truck.

Very good press and media coverage.         

Fleet Perspective- The LNG experience”

Lessons Learned

Internal roles & responsibilities established for:Driver trainingFuelingShop requirements & designFueling station MaintenanceLNG vehicle,tank inspections & maintenanceVehicle specific daily usage based on miles run          

Fleet Perspective- LNG Fueling stationsPublic station needs

Location is everything!

Close to main highwaysAccessible for long combinationsReliability of station- quick response & resolution24/7 operationLarge enough to avoid wait time and congestionConsistent point of contact              

Continued Improvement

While operating its current alternative fuel and technology vehicles, UPS is also working with manufacturers, government agencies and nonprofit organizations to advance new fuel technologies and find cheaper, cleaner-burning domestic fuels that are better for the environment and more sustainable than conventional diesel.

Expanding the UPS Green

2014 Initiatives

Continue LNG Tractor deployment (Est.984 total)Deploy 45 CNG Class 8 tractorsInitial roll-out of Propane package car fleet expansion (1000 planned)
