Abstract

An Economic analysis of Compressed Natural Gas/Diesel Fleet Fueling
Track: Logistics
Authors: Michael Taylor

In this exploration, the benefits of investing in dual fueling capability (Diesel and Compressed Natural gas or CNG) for a utility's maintenance truck fleet is investigated. There is a GIS analysis of historical fueling patterns. These patterns are used to consider how new CNG terminals would affect the analysis. Finally, the GIS analysis is used to derive easily understood and followed fueling rules that could be instituted as corporate policy.
