Why is CNG important

Vehicle Purchasing Policy• Will purchase an alternative fueled vehicle if:
- Fueling infrastructure is in place
- Job application fits the type of factory-equipped vehicle available
- Economics are beneficial to the City
- Vehicle meets the operational needs of the dept.

Fueling Infrastructure

You have to start somewhere…
…we started in the late 80s
![Page 8: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Fueling Infrastructure

We started with a small compressor and basket of bottles.
![Page 9: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Then moved into slow-fill “Fuelmaker” appliances
![Page 10: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Cost - $25,000 Installed (1998)3.7 gasoline Gallon Equivalent / hrEasy to hookupNot real easy to meter
Time-fill
![Page 11: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fueling Infrastructure
11
Then as we talked about buying buses, we were ready to build a Fast-fill fuel site.
![Page 12: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fueling Infrastructure

– but could only afford the essential components
Compressor Storage Tubes
![Page 13: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fueling Infrastructure
13
This site cost about $380k in early 2000.
Dryer
Dispenser and Card Reader
![Page 14: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fueling Infrastructure
14
Then we added more compression (backup) and additional dispensers as we could afford to - total cost with the upgrades ~$750k
35 PSI inlet pressure = 4 gallons per minute
![Page 15: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Fueling Infrastructure
15
As we started buying trucks and pickups, we built another small site in 2016. Cost ~ $250k (used but decent equipment)
20 PSI = 4 gallons per minute (storage) then ½ gallon per minute or wait about an hour
![Page 16: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Fueling Infrastructure
16
…and finally we built our ultimate site for about $850k.
500 PSI inlet pressure = over 10 gallons per minute
![Page 17: Integrating or…. Medium and Rome wasn’t Heavy Duty built ...€¦ · Better Communities Webinar Integrating Medium and Heavy Duty Natural Gas Vehicles into Your Fleet. or…](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071220/605a91ccfd202f03617f6c44/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

In the meantime, we slowly started adding vehicles as our fueling infrastructure grew

This is where you get to be creative!!!! If the engine and chassis is a good fit for the application, you should be able to find tank locations.

CNG Maintenance Shop upgrades

Be strategic -Every bay in every shop does not need to be upgraded
Understand the difference between a minor and major CNG repair facility
