The Thought of Propane Go Airport Connection to our line of services

Working with Wisconsin State Energy Office Locations Milwaukee & Sheboygan

Propane Project First we looked the benefits of using propane as an

auto-gas with some of the key factors being: Cleaner Fuel than Gas and Diesel

Propane is non-toxic and does not contaminate ground water or soil

Propane is a federally designated clean fuel as stated in the Clean Air Act of 1990 and National Policy Act of 2005

60% Less Carbon Monoxide 24% Fewer Greenhouse Gas Emissions 20% Less Nitrogen Oxide

Propane Benefits Minimal cost and change to shop procedures and

facilities Low cost of conversion and infrastructure The ability to maintain a greater range with little loss in

vehicle space for customers Sustainability of project after grant funding Another key factor with propane was:

90% of U.S. consumption is produced in the U.S.

Our Propane Overview We then decided that it would be best to install our

own propane re-fueling station with the following reasons in mind Locations currently available

http://www.afdc.energy.gov/locator/stations/

Price of buying bulk propane Ease of accessibility

We began to look for a propane vendor We chose to proceed with Boehlke Bottle Gas

We used Boehlke Bottle Gas to aid us in researching and coming up with a plan for the new site Site Preparations Rules and Regulations Training Requirements

Site Description 2-1990 Gallon Tanks Clean Fuel USA 2000 Series Meter System Blackmer LPG Pump with a 7.5hp motor Petrovend K-800 with Phoenix software Automatic Changeover Control for Compressed

Nitrogen Before fueling the site asks for fleet number and

odometer

The Conversions Using the Roush Cleantech propane kits

Fuel Rails Fuel Lines Tank Removal and Install Reprogramming the Computer

We Choose to do the installs with our own personnel Average Install Time of 6-7 hours

Airport Vehicles Currently our Airport Shuttle vans average around

100,000 miles a year each We have 47 vans that service Southeastern Wisconsin

with transportation to and from Mitchell International and O’Hare International Airport

We Utilize Ford E-350 vans with a 5.4L engine in them We chose to go with used 2009-2010 model year vans

Highlights are hardened exhaust valves and valve seats on new Ford vehicles

These vans had mileages between 30,000 to 100,000 miles when we completed the installs

Current Fuel mileages on the vans is about 11.1MPG over a sample of 3,187,070 miles.

Our current cost of propane is on average less than $2.50 per gallon with all taxes included

Our Estimated Return on Investment is less than 5 years (This is the case with and without grant funding).

Buses Commercial and School Current Vehicles in the Fleet

4- 2013 Ford E-450 Micro bird school buses 30P 1- 2013 Ford E-450 Micro bird school bus 18P+1WC 1- 2013 Ford E-450 Commercial Bus 24P

Factory Direct Kits Roush Cleantech propane kits

What We Know So Far Fuel Economy is about 21% less than our diesel and gas

school buses with comparable seating ROI or breakeven point on these units is greater than 5

years without grant funding Drivers have made the comments that they like these

vehicles because they are not as loud and dirty General Public Needs Education Reliable

The Bumps in The Road Driver adjustments to the propane vehicles Range limits of the vehicles and the adjustments to

them The amount of time it takes to get parts to repair the

propane kit components

Million Dollar Question

We have on signed agreements to purchase 10-72P Bluebird school buses 4- Ford E-450 Micro bird school buses 30P 1- Ford E-450 Micro bird school bus 18P+1WC

Will the investment pay off…

Would we recommend this fuel to others?

Time Will Tell!!!
