Green Fleet Analysis
In 2010, Surrey and SFU School of Mechatronics
(Surrey campus) partnered in the Development of a
vehicle Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool;
The LCA compares Gas (including gas hybrids) and
Diesel vehicles to emerging alt fuel technologies: CNG,
EV, and Hydrogen
The LCA output helps guide strategic decisions relating
to vehicle life-cycle costs, environmental impacts,
operational/logistics benefits and limitations.
Technologies Reviewed:
• Compressed Natural Gas • Electric Vehicles • Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Investment & Collaboration green fleet and alternative fuels
green fleet and alternative fuels
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
• 2010 Market sounding with end-users
was positive
• Initiated successful 1-year pilot using
1 CNG waste truck
• Awarded RFP in 2011 to BFI Canada
requiring 100% CNG Fully Automated
Waste Collection Fleet
• CNG waste fleet commenced
operation in October 2012 with 42
CNG trucks/day servicing 100,00
households in Surrey
Investment & Collaboration
green fleet and alternative fuels
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Benefits:
Environmental
• 24% GHG (CO2-eq) emission reduction
• Significant Criteria Air Contaminant reductions (low particulates)
Economic
• Annual Savings in Waste Collection Costs:
$3 million
• Annual Fuel Savings: $1.2 million (included
in above savings)
• Capital Cost of CNG vs. Diesel Truck is 20%
higher, however payback is estimated at 2
years
Investment & Collaboration
green fleet and alternative fuels
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Next Steps:
Development of Surrey’s Organic Waste
Biogas Processing Facility (2015):
• Renewable CNG will be produced from
organic waste collected at curbside
• The City will fuel the CNG waste collection
fleet using this gas
Increase of CNG vehicles to Surrey’s Fleet:
• 5-year plan to increase both light-utility
and heavy-duty fleet vehicles
• Fleet vehicles to also draw on renewable
CNG produced by the City
Investment & Collaboration
green fleet and alternative fuels
Electric Vehicles
• Introduced 1 Nissan Leaf EV with Two Level-2 Charging Stations
• Using LCA Tool and data from Nissan and City of Seattle’s EV Fleet : Determined both operational and
economic viability of EV expansion within existing City fleet.
Conducted “migration analysis” on candidate vehicles from City fleet, which quantifies operational and economic risk of EV migration.
• Goal: Determine “best fit” within Surrey’s Fleet.
Investment & Collaboration

Electric Vehicles: Next Steps
• $56,000 of funding was granted to Surrey by the Community Charging Infrastructure Fund (CCIF) to implement 14 Level-2 Charging Stations throughout the City; and
• Surrey is also implementing 1 DC Fast Charging Station in Cloverdale on Hwy 10 near Pacific Hwy in Partnership with BC Hydro.
• Installations have commenced and will be completed by late 2013.
• Surrey now looking to increase its contingent of EV fleet vehicles, following its benefits analysis.
Investment & Collaboration
green fleet and alternative fuels Hydrogen Fuel Cells
In 2010, Surrey initiated its review of hydrogen fuel cell
vehicle usage and introduced the following to its fleet:
• 2 Hydrogen Fuelling Stations at City Operations facilities; (an 3rd station exists at Powertech Lab’s Surrey facility)
• 3 Ford Focus HFC passenger vehicles
• 4 Hydrogen GMC Pick-ups Retrofits (internal
combustion engines)
• The initiative was supported by the CHFCA,
Powertech Labs, Sacré-Davey Group and the NRC
Canada with funding from BC
Investment & Collaboration
green fleet and alternative fuels Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Benefits:
• Quick fuelling time (similar to
gas/diesel or CNG)
• Good range: 200 km for Surrey
pilot vehicles
• Zero tailpipe emissions
• Reduced Oil Dependence
Investment & Collaboration

Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Challenges
High cost and availability of Fuel Cell Vehicles and Fuel
Fuel Cell Durability and Reliability
Lack of hydrogen fuelling infrastructure & stations
Government Commitment to supporting R&D and investment
Public Acceptance
Investment & Collaboration
green fleet and alternative fuels
Hydrogen Fuel Cells Latest Developments
Latest generation of HFC’s can travel 500 km and will be available to limited global market regions by 2015.
Recent announcement from Hyundai to have ix35 Fuel Cell SUVs available in 2015, with vehicles destined for the European market.
Earlier this year, Daimler, Ford and Nissan announced a target of 2017 for introducing affordable hydrogen-powered cars.
Investment & Collaboration
Council motion (May 30, 2011):
to bring forward for Council’s consideration,… recommendations
to make mandatory in the development of new service stations
and the redevelopment of existing service stations a
requirement that, in addition to the conventional energy
sources, at least one alternative energy refuelling source such
as electric vehicle recharging, hydrogen gas and/or compressed
natural gas is provided.
policy Alternative Fuels at Service Stations
Objectives
Consumer Confidence: Promote consumer confidence in the market place for purchasing alternative fuel vehicles (light and heavy duty vehicles)
Low Carbon Transportation: Support a transition to a low carbon transportation system
Clean Tech Commercialization: Promote investment and commercialization of clean technologies
policy Alternative Fuels at Service Stations
Challenges & Opportunities:
Service stations are not optimal locations for EV charging infrastructure due to long charging times (even DC Fast Charge Stations).
Cost of infrastructure installation.
EV Fast Chargers $100K
Hydrogen (and scarcity) $2 million
Compressed natural gas $600K - $1.5 million
Liquefied natural gas $1 million
Propane $100-200K (or more? figures vary)
BC Utilities commission prohibits the resale of electricity (at a profit).
Increased costs may deter service station development.
policy Alternative Fuels at Service Stations
Opportunities:
City addressing EV issue by allowing off-site delivery of infrastructure, including City facilities.
Possibility of requiring EV chargers at multiple residential and commercial developments (requires a building standards regulation).
Advocate that senior levels of government allocate percentage of gas tax to local governments as incentive to support alterative fuelling infrastructure.
