Wisconsin Clean Transportation Program

3. • Increase use of alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs) and
advanced technology vehicles at public/private fleets
settings to:
- Reduce U.S. dependence on imported petroleum,
- Increase fuel economy, and
- Improve emissions, especially in
non-attainment area.
• Install infrastructure necessary
to directly support AFVs or
advanced-technology vehicles
• Ensure vehicles capable of using
alternative fuel do so to the
greatest extent possible

7. Technical Successes
Wisconsin Clean
Transportation Program

8. Neighborhood Electric Vehicles
• Recharging from multiple outlets = no way
to record total energy use
• Consulted with electric vehicle charging
researchers at Argonne Labs
• Purchased $30 “Kill-A-Watt” meters at
Menards

9. Hybrid Utility Trucks
• Performance problems
• Vanishing software upgrades
• Two manufacturers installing conflicting
software
• Coordinated mfg’s upgrades, and developed
service protocol for hybrids

10. Argonne Labs Case Study
• City of Milwaukee Natural Gas project chosen as
national example
• Reported overall project progress and fuel use of
trucks
• Final data used to establish performance
benchmarks for other CNG fleets

11. CNG Shuttle Bus
• Charter trip to Chicago stranded on I-94
• Driver misjudged range
• Worked with fleet owner to develop trip-
planning protocol, identifying optimal
refueling options along planned route
• Retrained drivers to develop top-of-mind
awareness of fueling habits

12. Wisconsin Clean Cities
Driving Wisconsin “Forward”!

13. Wisconsin Clean Cities “Connections”
