Mission / Vision

• UCSD Fleet Services will provide the highest
  quality service, while operating the most
  sustainable and environmentally friendly fleet
  and repair facility possible. Fleet Services
  will strive to achieve climate neutrality by
  employing best management practices, state-of-the
  art technology and innovation.

Fleet Services Goals

• Be a good steward of the environment.
• Reduce green house gas emissions to lowest level
  possible, while increasing fuel economy.
• Convert fleet to all alternatively-fueled
  vehicles
• Electric vehicles
• Hybrid vehicles
• Bio-diesel
• CNG
• OtherCNG/Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, Hydrogen, ???

4
Fleet Services Goals

• Be an early adopter of new technologies.
• Maximize use of renewable energy and fuels
• PV for Electric Vehicles facilities
• Hydrogen CNG HCNG
• Methane to replace CNG
• Renewable hydrogen production

Model Green Shop

• In June 2004 The Department of Toxic Substance
  Control, the California Environmental Protection
  Agency commended UCSD Fleet Services for its
  leadership and commitment to minimize pollution
  through its efforts in pollution prevention,
  environmental management practices, employee
  training, and facility design.

DTSC Model Shop Checklist

• Convert solvent based cleaners to Aqueous parts
  washer.
• Segregate, drain, crush, and recycle used oil
  filters.
• Battery exchange to reduce storage of acid
  excess batteries, and exchange batteries will be
  recycled.
• Business response plans submitted and updated
  annually.
• Emergency spill kits available, spill response
  training.
• Closed loop vehicle washing facilities.
  (Recapture water)
• Seal all shop floors with impermeable
  coatingepoxy.
• Use re-refined oil / analysis to extend oil
  change intervals.
• Stencil all storm drains No dumping
• Implement a Dry-shop clean up method"

Tires

• QUICK FACT - It takes 22 gals of oil to make a
  new truck tire. It only takes 7 gals to make a
  retread.
• UCSD has used retreads since 2002, installing
  600 retreads saving 9,000 gals of oil 125K.
• Fleet Services analysis of different treads
  compounds led to a tire providing over 20 more
  wear than a new tire.
• Fleet Services contracts with a waste tire
  company that recycles old tires into speed strips
  and playground rubber matting.

Re-refined Oil

• QUICK FACTS
• Re-refined oil is the same quality as virgin oil
  and carries the API seal of certification.
• It takes 1 gal of used oil to make 2½ qts of
  re-refined oil. It takes 42 gals of crude to
  make the same 2½ qts of virgin oil.
• Recycling oil, could save the US 1.3M bbls/day.
• Since 2004 Fleet Services has used 6.0K gals of
  re-refined oil.

9
Synthetic Transmission Fluid Gear Oil

• Synthetic transmission fluid has extended service
  intervals 3 xs that of normal fluid, reducing
  downtime and maintenance costs.
• Synthetic gear oil is the only gear lube now used
  for all vehicles, reducing down time and
  improving lubrication.
• Antifreeze is collected and sent to recycling.

10
Ultra Low Sulfur / Bio- Diesel

• QUICK FACT ULSD has 30 xs less sulfur. Sulfur
  is a major cause of particulate emissions.
• UCSD switched to ULSD 2 yrs before mandated.
• 2006 UCSD switched to B-20 bio-diesel (20 soy /
  80 ULSD), pumping over 500K gals.
• ULSD/B20 has reduced CO2 by over 1.6 million lbs
  and reduced reliance on foreign oil.

20 less hydrocarbons 16 less carbon dioxide
11
Cleaner Diesel

• To clean diesel emissions, Fleet Services has
  installed Diesel Particulate Filters on 27
  vehicles reducing particulate emissions by 86.
• Purchased particulate cleaning system to clean
  filters onsite, reducing down time and costs.

13
Hybrids

• 42 Toyota Prius Hybrids
• 13 Ford Escape Hybrids

14
E 85 Vehicles

• 1 Chevrolet Uplander
• 1 Dodge Grand Caravan
• 1 Chevrolet Tahoe

15
Alternative Fuel Vehicles

• 3 Dedicated CNG Buses
• 3 Dedicated CNG Sedans
• 3 Bi-Fuel Pick Up Trucks
• (CNG Unleaded)

16
Electric Utility / NEV Vehicles

• 171 Utility Carts
• 137 NEVs

17
Electric Vehicles

• Advantages of NEVs
• Cost 3-4 / mile vs. over 35-40 / mile for gas
  engines
• Have zero tailpipe emissions
• Unleaded fuel usage has been reduced by over
  11,000 gallons in calendar year 2008
• Less maintenance costs
• Very efficient for on-campus support and services
• Legal to drive on roads posted 35 MPH or less
• Most charging is at night when electric load is
  low
• 3 fast chargers on campus, decreasing charging
  time and increasing range and utilization

18

• Greenline Biodiesel Bus
• Student/faculty/staff/Caterpillar research
  project.
• Students and faculty from engineering, science,
  and social sciences.
• FM, TPS, Corporate Relations staff.

19
Greenline Shuttle Launch

• Operates on Hillcrest-LaJolla route.
• Engine donated by Caterpillar, Inc.
• Will use 99 blend of bio-diesel.

• Even refueling the Greenline is sustainable as we
  use PV to provide the power for the pump to
  operate.

The Future

• Continue to implement vision and goals
• Install more renewable energy infrastructure to
  support electric fleet
• Charging stations PV panels.
• Wind sharingwind energy is available at night
  when most charging is done.
• Fuel cells using
• methane for electricity.
• Vehicle to grid.

23
The Future

• Increase number of hybrids on campus
• Add next generation of plug- in hybrids to fleet
• Purchase more NEVs for inter campus use,
  eventually add full speed electric vehicles
• Transition diesel fleet to CNG
• HCNG as stepping stone to hydrogen
  vehiclesHydrogen Highway

24
The Future

• Support research in renewable bio-fuels made from
  algae and switch grass.
• Partner on a hydrogen fuel cell all electric full
  speed vehicle.
• Develop and implement a hydrogen fuelling station
  in addition to the CNG station.
• Research development of very efficient solar
  panels for electric vehicles to reduce or
  eliminate the need for recharging
