Resources for
Business Fleets

2. DOE’s Alternative Fuels
Data Center (AFDC)
afdc.energy.gov

3. Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle
Environmental and Economic
Transportation (AFLEET)
• ANL's Greenhouse gases,
Regulated Emissions,
and Energy use
in Technologies (GREET)
• EPA's MOtor Vehicle Emission
Simulator (MOVES) and
certification data
• Clean Cities Alternative Fuel
Price Report
• American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act awards
Step 1: Select vehicle type being
replaced

4. AFLEET Inputs
Step 3: Adjust Fuel Economy, Purchase
Price, Fuel prices, and Vehicle Options
(above)
Step 2: Select replacement fuel type (left)

5. AFLEET Inputs

6. AFLEET Environmental Results
Wait! Shouldn’t this be zero??
EV GHG Emissions calculations takes into
account the emissions generated from battery
recharge depending on the source mix by grid
(coal, wind, hydro, natural gas, etc.)

7. AFLEET Economic Results
Almost 11 years to break even
Okay…this could be better…

8. Other AFDC Tools for Fleets
Let’s take a
look at some
of them…

9. Federal Incentives for Fleets
Diesel Emissions
Reduction Act
• School Bus Rebates
• National Grants
• State Grants
• Tribal Grants
Airport Zero Emissions
Vehicle (ZEV) and
Infrastructure Pilot
Program
Low and Zero Emission
Public Transportation
Research,
Demonstration, and
Deployment Funding
(Low/No)

10. State Incentives for Fleets
Financial incentives to upgrade or
replace older heavy-duty vehicles,
non-road equipment, locomotives,
marine vessels, and stationary
equipment to reduce nitrogen
oxides (NOX)

Programs vary by area, equipment, and fuel type. Some relevant ones are:
• Governmental Alternative Fuel Fleet (GAFF) Grant Program (NEW!)
• Seaport and Rail Yard Areas Emissions Reduction (SPRY) Program
• Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants (ERIG)
• Rebate Grants Program
• Texas Clean Fleet Program (TCFP)
• Texas Clean School Bus (TCSB) Program

11. State Incentives for Fleets
Volkswagen Settlement gave
$209 million to Texas for
projects that reduce nitrogen
oxides (NOX) in the
environment
www.txvwfund.org
For San Antonio, eligible counties are Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, and Wilson
Grants are gradually being rolled out and include:
• Class 7-8 Refuse vehicles
• Class 4-8 Freight & Port Drayage Vehicles
• Level 2 Zero Emission Vehicle Supply Equipment
• DC Fast Charging Zero Emission Vehicle Supply Equipment
• Electric Forklifts and Port Cargo Handling Equipment
• Electric Airport Ground Support Equipment
Reimbursement rates
Gov’t owned: Up to 80%
Non-Gov’t owned: Up to 50%
