AFV Issues - Incremental Cost
Costs are still high ($ 5k +) for:– CNG sedans– CNG bifuel vans
Costs came down this year for: – CNG/LPG bifuel trucks
Low or no cost for flexible fuel vehicles Aim high for next year when budgeting
![Page 20: GSA’s Alternative Fuel Vehicle Program n Customer Tools n Legislative Update n Issues n What’s New](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e375503460f94b26982/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
AFV Issues - Refueling
Limited Refueling Infrastructure– 1,200+ CNG stations– 100 E85 stations and growing
Alternative fuel data capture issues– Manual invoicing for CNG– No data for E85 – It’s not our fault!– Somebody needs to do something
![Page 21: GSA’s Alternative Fuel Vehicle Program n Customer Tools n Legislative Update n Issues n What’s New](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e375503460f94b26982/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
AFV Issues - Refueling
GSA Fleet’s E85 Caravan– 6 fill ups on E85– Says E85 on receipt– Ends up in fleet database as:
4 unleaded 2 diesel
![Page 22: GSA’s Alternative Fuel Vehicle Program n Customer Tools n Legislative Update n Issues n What’s New](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e375503460f94b26982/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
AFV Issues - Maintenance
Maintenance, Repair and Support No big recalls or issues Dealer support is increasing It’s still the dealer’s choice
– Low volume may not justify certificationLow volume may not justify certification– May not be part of GSA Fleet’s delivery programMay not be part of GSA Fleet’s delivery program
Deal with the operational realities of AFVs
![Page 23: GSA’s Alternative Fuel Vehicle Program n Customer Tools n Legislative Update n Issues n What’s New](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e375503460f94b26982/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
AFV Issues - Vehicle Availability
Vehicle Availability is Improving 80 AFVs on schedule but there are redundancies:
– 40 are MD cab and chassis LPG No compacts No SUVs Late Delivery Increased vehicle types increase acquisition

Past AFV Sales Performance FFVs = Good CNG bifuel = Ok CNG dedicated = Poor If we lose, you lose
– Good resale values are needed to meet demand
AFV Issues - Remarketing

Current AFV Remarketing Strategies
FY 01 Remarketing Pilot Project– Advertised on Internet - positive consumer response– Areas with strong tax incentives and HOV lane access
Held Over FY 01 CNG/LPG Replacements– Low vehicle utilization– Help customers lower their AFV requirements

Future AFV Remarketing Strategies
Internet offerings on National page Target HOV and high incentive areas Clean Cities/USER groups State Fleets - Revisit Flyers/Announcements
– highlighting available incentives– upcoming offerings

GSA Fleet’s Perspective
Creates problem’s with our vehicle ordering– Buy new vehicles every year– We cannot void warranties– Must buy low bid
Communicate with biodiesel industry and engine/vehicle manufacturers
Pilot Program at DOE SRS facility– Started January, 2001 – Over 200 GSA Fleet vehicles
