Editor's Notes
- In 2008, INL reached an agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to renew a portion of its light fleet yearly, allowing INL to replace older gasoline vehicles with newer flex-fuel vehicles (or FFVs) that coud run on E-85. INL also focused on renewing its aging bus fleet. These older buses averaged 5 mpg. The new buses increased fuel economy by 20% and carry 11 more passengers per bus. Today’s INL fleet consists of over 75% Alternatively Fueled Vehicles (or AFVs).
- The Idaho National Laboratory is a government research facility that employs nearly 4,000 scientists and support staff in southeastern Idaho. Our mission is to ensure the nation’s energy security with safe, competitive and sustainable energy systems and unique national and homeland security capabilities. With multiple work sites to support our energy and homeland security initiatives on 890 square miles, INL is a physically isolated facility that is roughly the size of New Jersey. Getting all of our employees to the multiple work locations has historically been a significant challenge. The 93+ strong bussing system is vital to an efficient and safe work environment. In addition, over 600 trucks and light vehicles are needed to transport materials and employees between work locations. With a fleet that’s nearly 700 vehicles strong in daily use, the Lab could have a significant impact on the environment. In 2005, with our carbon footprint in mind, we began taking steps to reduce our use of fossil fuels and increase our use of alternative fuels. The result is an award winning fleet of sustainable and efficient vehicles.
