Chicken or Egg?

Government concerns for – Oil supplies

Air quality & emissions reductions

Global Climate Change

5

Chicken or Egg?

General Public / Consumer concerns demonstrating –• Emerging consumer preferences for locally produced products• Consumer choices in purchasing decision (full cycle manufacturing)• Manufacturers' recognition of economic & energy benefits

ecoFREIGHT - Joint $61m initiative with NRCan & Transport Canada

Consists of six components:

National Harmonization Initiative for the

Trucking Industry (TC) Freight Technology Demonstration Fund (TC) Freight Technology Incentives (TC) ecoFREIGHT Partnerships (TC) Marine Shore Power (TC)

ecoENERGY for Fleets (NRCan)

ecoTRANSPORT

What is FleetSmart ?(ecoENERGY for fleets)

A program at Natural Resources Canada to help commercial & institutional fleets reduce fuel consumption & emissions through

improved energy efficient practices.

Programs for on-road vehicles> Trucks – highway, forestry, urban> Bus – highway coach, transit, school buses> Urban – municipalities, utilities, light-duty fleets (ie. taxi, courier)

8

How do we do it?

• Training & Education

• Information on Technologies

• Idling awareness campaigns

• Industry Partnerships

FleetSmart

9

Why SmartDRIVER?

• Driver – the most important on-board technology• Up to 35% difference between the ‘best’ and the ‘poorest’

driver• The investment in

fuel-efficient technology

will not pay off if the driver

is not trained to drive efficiently

10

FleetSmart’sSmartDRIVER Series

11

A ready-made program for fuel-efficient driving • Adult learning techniques• Free instructor kit for qualified instructors• Train-the-trainer sessions

SmartDRIVER con’t

Topics• Factors that affect fuel economy• Spec’ing a truck• Vehicle care & inspection• Driving practices &

recommendations• Fuel efficient driving

Kit Instructor Guide Overheads Participant Handbook Audio Book CD – self study/novella Certificates for Drivers

Fuel Management 101

1-day workshop for fleet / operations How to make a fuel plan

o Benchmarko Analyze, evaluate and improve

NEW (in development):

Web Tool - load/track mixed fleets on-line SmartMechanic - targeting mechanics - both light and heavy duty vehicles To

encourage proper vehicle maintenance to reduce fuel consumption and GHG emissions

Energy Efficiency Integration Initiative – a five phase initiative to have EE an integral part of earning a commercial operators license in 10 provinces & 3 territories.

FleetSmart initiatives

Idling Reduction Awareness

14

Awareness - Idling

15

Measuring Impacts

Driver Training factors:

o # of drivers trainedo Drivers/vehicleo Average annual vehicle travelo GHG emissions/kmo Expected impact/retention

(studies)o averaging 5 – 8 % across all

vehicle groups

Idling factors:

o # of participating truck stops / bus visits

o Duration of campaigno Retentiono Average idling reduction hourso Fuel consumption at

idleo GHG emissions factor

16

Industry Partners

• All major vehicle associations in Canada

Canadian Trucking Alliance Private Motor Truck Council of Canada Canadian Industrial Transportation Association Motor Coach Canada Canadian Urban Transit Association

• MOU – US EPA: SmartWay Transport Partnership

17

Canada - U.S. Freight Movement Cooperation

Frequent movement of cross-border freight requires collaboration with U.S. EPA SmartWay

MOU between FleetSmart and SmartWay in 2005 to

share training tools and information

SmartWay adaptation of FleetSmart’s SmartDriver

FleetSmart’s adaptation of FleetModel

Share outreach & collateral materials

Host jointly a major transportation efficiency

conference (Same Roads, New Challenges – 2008)

Cost of 110 min

1.83hr x 4 litres fuel = 7.32 ltrs x 150,000 trucks= 1,098,000 litres

@ $0 .95 = $1,043,100.00

Cost of 25 min

.42hr x 4 litres fuel = 1.68 ltrs x 150,000 trucks = 252,000 litres

In Canada cost of idling 150,000 trucks per day

TRUCK IDLING

@ $0 .95 = $1,043,100.003,854 tons GHG

@ $0.95 = $239,400.00884 tons GHG
