Key Facts

Number of Employees: 870
Number of Vehicles: 98 (approx.)
Fuel Savings Over One Yr:  17,340 litres (9% savings)
Greenhouse Gas Savings: 47 tonnes

 
Background
Neptune Food Services provides a full range of food products, supplies and equipment to restaurants and institutions throughout BC.  After 40 years in the business, Neptune continues to evolve and innovate. The improvements are all centred on the areas core to their success: exceptional service and on-time deliveries.
 
Part of that innovation includes an anti-idling strategy. The Neptune Food Services fleet consists of 81 tractors and 17 straight trucks making 100 runs a day, the majority of which are on a full maintenance lease.   Neptune had CADEC on-board computers installed in all 98 of their vehicles to monitor deliveries and found that reducing idling was a very simple way they could save on fuel costs.  

Sixty percent of their vehicles were idling unnecessarily, on average for 10 minutes per day.  It became clear that to prevent operational costs from going up in smoke, they needed to educate their drivers.  Brian Horel, Neptune's Fleet Maintenance Supervisor explains that "there was an 'old-school' philosophy that turning off your engine put more wear and tear on the vehicle and used more fuel to start up again.  I had to educate these guys because it is no harder on your engine to turn it off for a short time; and even if it was, the cost of replacing a starter compared to the ongoing fuel costs is just a drop in the bucket."

Idling Reduction Program
Neptune employed a full suite of driver education programs, and took a direct approach to change attitudes about idling, including:
  • Communications through voice-mail system
  • Personal follow-up: team leaders review drivers' records from CADEC program
  • Incentive program: drivers that make an effort to help the company improve the business receive bonuses (idling is one of the factors that are accounted during the review period)

In communicating with the drivers, there was an emphasis on the fact that idling wastes money and does nothing to extend the life of the engine.  Personal voice-mail messages were used to inform drivers of the company's decision to go Idle Free.  Team leaders then followed-up with each driver, discussing idling statistics from the on-board computers. They let the drivers know that savings could be put back into their pockets through bonuses.

Results
As the person responsible for the mechanical well-being of the fleet, Brian is very practical about the matter.  He says, "We were just trying to save on fuel costs". And Neptune has been successful in increasing efficiency; "fuel usage has decreased by 16%, 7% was achieved by mechanical improvements and 9% comes from idling knowledge alone".  But he also recognizes another benefit, "I tell my guys to think about the environment and what this means to their kids or grandkids at home".

Ontario Government Helps Drivers Go Green

Etobicoke, ON, Aug. 8, 2007 - The McGuinty government today announced three new initiatives to encourage commuters and businesses to reduce greenhouse gases, the latest step in the government's climate change plan, announced Transportation Minister Donna Cansfield and Environment Minister Laurel Broten.

"Thousands of Ontario drivers are already going green - we want to encourage even more to do the same," said Cansfield. "By rewarding drivers and businesses who switch to clean fuel-efficient vehicles, we can reduce pollution and help put Ontario companies at the forefront of green innovation."

Today, the Ontario government announced its plan to begin stakeholder consultations with vehicle manufacturers and environmental groups to develop a green vehicle program that will rate cars, light trucks and commercial vehicles using environmental criteria. Through consultation, incentives will be identified to encourage people to buy green vehicles that will be recognized with an Eco-licence plate, to be launched the summer of 2008.

The Ontario government is investing $15 million over four years for a pilot to help businesses convert to more environmentally- friendly technologies, such as hybrid power. The project will help the government and industry learn more about the technology, spur investment and help make medium-duty hybrid trucks more affordable for Ontario businesses. 

Ontario will also increase the use of cleaner fuel in its own fleet by installing two new ethanol fuelling stations in the province, Minister Broten announced. These new facilities could also be made available to other users, such as municipal fleets once they are operational.

The announcement by the ministers was made at Purolator's Metro West facility, where some of Purolator's hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), its fuel-cell hybrid electric vehicle and its hydrogen generation and refueling system are located. 

"We are very pleased with the provincial government's announcement and feel that this is a step in the right direction for companies planning to integrate green transportation technologies into their business," said Robert Johnson, president and CEO of Purolator. "As an early adopter of HEVs, we think government support is critical to making these green technologies a viable option for businesses. This announcement will help make our vision to lead the industry towards a future standard of zero emission vehicles possible."

Since introducing HEVs to its fleet of curb-side delivery vehicles in 2005, Purolator has logged more than 333,000 kilometres, saving almost 60,000 litres of fuel and preventing the emission of over 150 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, in carbon dioxide equivalents, as well as associated smog-causing emissions.

"Our first order of HEVs have met our expectations in terms of fuel efficiency as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions," said Serge Viola, national fleet director. "With the significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel savings promised by HEVs, we believe that our customers, our employees, the environment and our company will all benefit."

Hydrogen Bus Fleet Contract Awarded

Victoria, BC, Aug. 3, 2007 - BC Transit has awarded a $46.4-million contract to build the world's first fleet of hydrogen fuel cell buses, Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon announced today.

New Flyer Industries of Winnipeg will be the manufacturer of the 20 buses, with delivery by the end of 2009. The low-floor buses will have a range of 500 km, a top speed of 90 km per hour and a life expectancy of 20 years. The three main sub-contractors on this bus fleet project are ISE Corporation of San Diego, which is responsible for the hybrid drive system; Ballard Power Systems of Burnaby, which will provide the fuel cell modules; and Dynetek Industries of Calgary, which will work on the hydrogen storage system.

"In the speech from the throne in February, we pledged to reduce B.C.'s greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent by 2020," said Falcon. "These hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles represent an important step, as these buses produce no smog-creating emissions and no greenhouse gas emissions, and they can be twice as efficient as internal combustion engines. The life cycle costs for fuel cell buses are expected to be lower than existing internal combustion engine technology."

"The fuel cell buses will provide the cleanest and most efficient propulsion technology in the long term," said Kevin Mahoney, chair of BC Transit. "This will help BC Transit improve British Columbia's quality of life by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the rider's overall experience."

In November 2006, the Province dedicated an initial $10 million for development of the hydrogen fuel cell bus concept. The federal Public Transit Capital Trust fund committed $45 million to the fuel cell bus fleet and accompanying hydrogen fuelling stations. BC Transit will cover the remaining $34 million of the overall funding for the day-to-day operations of this new bus fleet for a period of up to five years.

When operational in late 2009, the new fleet will initially be based in Whistler and will be a very visible part of public transportation during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Canadian Bioenergy first in Canada to achieve top biodiesel quality certification
BQ9000North Vancouver, July 26, 2007 - Canadian Bioenergy Corporation has officially been granted BQ-9000 status, becoming the only BQ-9000 Certified Marketer of biodiesel in Canada. BQ-9000 is a voluntary fuel quality program, modeled after the ISO-9001 standard, which has been adopted by the National Biodiesel Board and the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association.

Alex Russell, Assistant Director of Fuel Operations at Canadian Bioenergy, has spent the past two years developing quality systems which adhere to the BQ-9000 protocols. He sees the Certified Marketer status as a reflection of Canadian Bioenergy's commitment to quality. "Quality is everything -- it's always been our top priority and the BQ-9000 process was a natural evolution for our operations," says Russell. "Our customers, from coast to coast, have consistently told us how critical it is to their success, as end-users and as resellers." BQ-9000 is a quality assurance program comprised of protocols and procedures for biodiesel storage, handling and management, designed to preserve fuel quality throughout the entire distribution system. Purchasing from a BQ-9000 Certified Marketer guarantees the quality of fuel is monitored and maintained post production to the fuel tank. The result is added consumer confidence and credibility for the Canadian biodiesel industry. Procurement contracts are increasingly citing verifiable quality standards as a condition of supply, and the BQ9000 program is considered the most stringent in the industry.

Ian Thomson, President of Canadian Bioenergy and the Alberta Biodiesel Association, understands the importance of quality. "The bottom line is that biodiesel has to perform. If there's a quality issue, it hurts the
entire industry," says Thomson. "We have made great progress in the past year on quality across North America. The combination of BQ9000 accredited production with BQ9000 certified marketing has become critical to large end-users. This is the direction we're going in Canada to make sure biodiesel is as successful here as it is in Europe and the US."

Canadian Bioenergy is a leading national supplier of biodiesel. The company has announced plans to construct a biodiesel production facility on land adjacent to a canola crushing and refining plant near Edmonton, Alberta. Canadian canola is an excellent feedstock for domestic biodiesel production, with a high oil content that offers superior fuel lubricity and cold weather operability.

Transportation researchers to test Toyota plug-in hybrid vehicles

Berkeley, CA, July 25, 2007 - The University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded $750,000 to conduct, along with project partner groups, the first real-world tests of and research with an automaker-produced, plug-in hybrid electric passenger vehicle (PHEV), the campus's Institute of Transportation Studies announced today.

UC Berkeley transportation researchers will work on the project with the California Air Resources Board, California Energy Commission, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., UC Irvine and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Researchers will study user behavioral response - including recharging and refueling patterns - to PHEV technology, and conduct technical energy use and environmental and economic assessments.

The effort will be led by co-principal investigators Susan Shaheen and Timothy Lipman, researchers at UC Berkeley's Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS). Funding for the grant comes from the Alternative Fuel Incentive Program of California Assembly Bill 1811.

"We are excited by this opportunity to work closely with Toyota and our other partners on understanding such an exciting new vehicle technology," said Shaheen. "This agreement marks a major milestone in the relationship between the university and Toyota." 

Under the agreement, Toyota is providing vehicle technology and support engineering services to allow the PHEV and fuel cell vehicles to be tested and analyzed under various conditions. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District will support air pollutant emission and air quality modeling efforts led by UC Irvine in collaboration with the South Coast Air Quality Management District. UC Irvine will also receive a PHEV to test and analyze, and will work with UC Berkeley on behavioral response assessments for Southern California settings.

"Plug-in hybrid vehicles are a promising technology for reducing gasoline use along with emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases," said Lipman, a research director for the Transportation Sustainability Research Center, which brings together six UC Berkeley units to explore a wide range of sustainable transportation and planning solutions. "Toyota has been leading the world in hybrid vehicle development over the past several years, and this project is an exciting next chapter in that story."

The prototype PHEV system is designed to operate in a manner similar to that of the current Toyota Prius, switching from pure-electric mode to gas-engine mode to a blended gas-electric mode. According to a statement by Toyota, "the big advantage is that the PHEV's prototype battery pack is capable of storing significantly higher levels of electricity supplied by 'plugging into the grid' for periodic recharging sessions.

"With significantly more electric power in reserve, the vehicle will be capable of operating in pure-electric mode for longer periods of time and at much higher speeds than the current Prius. This will result in substantial gains in fuel economy ... over current conventional hybrid systems."

The PHEV will join existing fuel cell hybrid vehicles at ITS in a broader sustainable mobility partnership with a variety of industry and state partners. The projects seek to understand how consumers perceive and respond to the relative strengths and weaknesses of various transportation technologies.

The new PHEV research also complements work on alternative transportation fuels that is underway and proposed at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). In February 2007, global energy firm BP announced that it had selected UC Berkeley, in partnership with LBNL and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to lead a $500 million research effort to develop new energy sources that will be sustainable, commercially viable and environmentally friendly.

"UC Berkeley and LBNL are committed to developing new scientific insights, new technologies and new policies to help meet the energy and climate change challenges facing us today," said Alex Farrell, assistant professor of energy and resources and director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at ITS. "The PHEV project is an important component of this effort. UC Berkeley researchers have particular expertise with studying electric-drive vehicle technologies, behavioral responses to new transportation technologies, and electrical power grids, which made the campus particularly attractive to Toyota as a research partner for the PHEV project." 

In conducting the research project, the UC Berkeley team expects to involve campus researchers and graduate students at ITS and the Energy and Resources Group, as well as to collaborate closely with the Advanced Power and Energy Program at UC Irvine.

Vancouver Port's New Truck License will Prohibit Substandard Container Trucks on Port Property

Vancouver, BC, July 16, 2007 - The Vancouver Port Authority (VPA) today introduced the most demanding container truck safety and environmental licensing standards in North America. In support of its strategic trucking program, the Port's new Truck Licensing System (TLS) will prohibit the access of substandard trucks on port property and develop a safer, cleaner, more sustainable container truck fleet to service the Port's container facilities. The new provisions will take effect on January 1, 2008.

"With our new TLS version, the VPA is following through on the promise we made in April 2007 to introduce industry-leading container truck safety and environmental standards," said Chris Badger, Vancouver Port Authority Vice President, Customer Development & Operations. "This new version of the TLS exceeds existing provincial environmental standards and raises the bar for container truck safety at the Port of Vancouver."

The new truck license includes more stringent safety and environmental enforcement, data qualification and audit provisions to allow the VPA to prevent non-compliant or substandard equipment from accessing port property.

New safety enforcement standards within the Port's mandatory licensing system include a three-tiered approach based on a cumulative system of warnings and suspensions and, for the most serious offences over time, cancellation of a company's truck license.

New environmental standards will require cleaner and more modern engine technology by phasing-out the use of older container trucks. By January 1, 2008, the Port will no longer allow access on port property to container trucks older than 1989. By January 1, 2009, the VPA will prohibit access to container trucks older than 1994. The TLS will include an appeals process to consider older trucks that meet acceptable alternatives to reduce emissions.

"These new standards will improve air quality in our communities and remove unsafe trucks from our roads," said Badger.

Other new environmental provisions address opacity, idling and driver education. To qualify for a TLS beginning January 1, 2008, trucking companies will be required to pass increasingly stringent annual opacity checks conducted by provincially certified facilities and pass random checks throughout the year. The Port will also enforce a new mandatory idle reduction provision on and around port property and introduce a compulsory annual driver education component to the truck license.

"The Port of Vancouvers economic, social and environmental impact reaches beyond the communities in which we operate," said Badger. "Setting very high standards for our operations and those of our service providers and supply chain partners reflects how sincerely the VPA takes its safety and environmental responsibilities."

The Port's enhanced truck safety enforcement provisions and new environmental standards will be fully implemented by January 1, 2008.

The Port of Vancouver is Canada's flagship port, trading $53 billion in goods with more than 100 trading economies annually. Port activities generate 69,200 jobs in total with $4 billion in Gross Domestic Product and $8.9 billion in economic output.

PHH FirstFleet fuel study identifies top 5 tips to increase fuel efficiency

Fort Lauderdale, FL., July 12, 2007 - PHH FirstFleet recently announced the results of its 18-month, telematics-based fuel study of U.S. truck fleets in the grocery, manufacturing, fuel and retail markets.

 

The PHH FirstFleet Fuel Study was headed by Applications Engineer, Ezel Baltali.  Along with a team of engineers, Baltali developed the following hypothesis: By slightly over-spec'ing engines in order to run more consistently in the "sweet spot," choosing a gear ratio low enough to suit a fleet's application and location, and enabling the correct fuel-efficient, engine-specific parameters, fuel economy will improve by 0.3 MPG (or around 5%).

The study's findings showed that the hypothesis is correct. When combined with other variables including progressive shifting, APUs and chassis improvements, this "sweet spot" is where both fuel efficiency and performance are maximized.  Additionally, the study concluded that slightly over-spec'ing engines improves fuel economy, which equates to a savings of approximately $2,000 per tractor per year (assuming 100,000 miles are driven per year).

 

In conjunction with the study results, PHH FirstFleet offers the following Top Five Tip List for achieving better fuel economy:

1. Increase engine torque ratings -- Increasing torque ratings provides a simple and effective method to decrease time spent in the high output torque ranges. Driving at high output torque ratings also leads to over-revving, or RPMs higher than the engine parameters specify. Over-revving shortens the life of the engine, which sustains higher costs and lower fuel economy.

2. Decrease gear ratio -- Choosing a lower gear ratio improves fuel economy, reduces engine wear, increases speed at lower RPMs and may help reduce over-revving. In general, choose the correct rear axle gear ratio for the fleet's application and needs, but consider that while higher gear ratios may improve overall performance and provide added power in lower gears, additional power causes equipment to lose fuel economy. If improving fuel economy remains a priority, consider whether the extra performance validates the loss in fuel economy.

3. Engine Specific Parameter Controls:

a. Speeding -- Above 70 MPH, a tractor's engine works to overcome aerodynamic drag. In fact, it demands over 60% of the engine's total available horsepower, which significantly increases fuel consumption. If speed is decreased to 55 MPH in the appropriate gear, the horsepower demand is reduced to only 40% and draws less fuel.

b. Idling -- Idling achieves 0.0 Miles-per-gallon and uses .5 to 1 gallon of fuel per hour. Consider idle shutdown in order to save fuel while at stops.

c. Progressive Shifting -- Drivers shifting quickly in lower gears prevents over-revving, which decreases fuel consumption and increases fuel economy.

4. Spec APUs -- Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) allow drivers to run peripheral applications like air conditioning without running the engine.  This decreases idling, reducing fuel consumption and improving fuel economy. Because APUs carry extra weight, the payload must decrease to meet weight limits.

5. Chassis Improvements

a. Aerodynamics -- New innovations in trailer aerodynamics, as well as roof fairings, side fairings, and bumper and side skirts, provide decreased wind resistance, which reduces required horsepower and thus fuel consumption.

b. Lower Weight -- New materials allow for less weight and more potential fuel economy gains, although with decreased chassis and trailer weight, overall payloads may increase and offset the fuel economy improvements.

c. Low Profile Radial or Wide Based Tires -- Research indicates that fuel economy can improve as much as 2% to 5% by using low profile and/or wide based tires and wheels.  Decreased weight and lower rolling resistance are the key contributors to fuel economy improvements.

In the future, PHH FirstFleet's Fuel Study is expected to explore the relationship between maintenance, cost-per-mile and fuel efficiency. Leveraging PHH Onboard(SM) telematics and engine control module (ECM) data to correlate maintenance alerts (e.g. when cylinders misfire, battery voltage is abnormal or preventative maintenance needs to be scheduled), PHH FirstFleet expects to determine an even better cost-per-mile strategy and/or establish better maintenance procedures, which may improve MPG.

Mack Anti-Idling Feature Saves Fuel, Reduces Emissions, and Increases Driver Comfort

Lehigh Valley, PA, May 24, 2007 - Truck operators no longer need to idle their truck engine to run their televisions and microwaves, or to heat and air condition their sleepers, thanks to the Idle Free Hybrid System, now available as an option from Mack Trucks, Inc. This non-polluting anti-idling system utilizes battery power to provide reliable electrical power and to save fuel. Mack is the first truck manufacturer to offer the Idle Free Hybrid System. This battery-based system can run the vehicle's air conditioning for 10 hours at 90F.

"The smart operator wants to avoid idling these days," said Jerry Warmkessel, Mack marketing product manager, highway products. "The price of fuel is near record levels, many local and state environmental regulations strictly limit the amount of time trucks may idle, and fleets now recognize the increased maintenance costs of excessive idling."

The environmental and financial benefits of reducing idling are huge. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates heavy-duty truck idling in the U.S. consumes 960 million gallons of diesel fuel annually, at a current cost of around $2.80 per gallon, and the average heavy-duty truck burns 0.8 gallons per hour. According to EPA, truck idling results in annual emissions of 11 million tons of CO2, 180,000 tons of NOx and 5,000 tons of particulates (note: new emissions regulations cut emissions of NOx by 50% and particulates by 90% on heavy-duty diesel engines built after January 1, 2007).

At the same time, Mack understands drivers need a comfortable environment during non-driving hours and that they want the freedom to use electric devices while off-duty.

The system uses a bank of high-efficiency absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries to provide stored electrical power for heating, air conditioning and amenities, such as TV or microwave. The sealed AGM batteries are known for their durable, long-life operation, and can be safely housed inside the truck. The bank of five AGM batteries is stored under the sleeper's bunk.

The batteries can be recharged three different ways: by the truck's alternator when the engine is running; through a shore power connection when the vehicle is stopped; or through an available connection to the reefer unit for tractors hauling refrigerated trailers. When the truck is not moving, the driver can use battery power or shore power to run heating, air conditioning and amenities. The system provides either 12- or 120-volt power.

Idle Free uses a Xantrex Prosine 2000W inverter/charger to control and regulate electrical power, as well as to charge both the Idle Free batteries and the truck's batteries. Mack's complete climate control package includes a Webasto diesel-fired heater and a Dometic HVAC unit. The Odyssey AGM 31 batteries have the ability to run the AC for 10 hours with an outside air temperature of 90 degrees.

According to Warmkessel, Idle Free has advantages over traditional auxiliary power units. The total weight of the system, with five batteries, inverter, HVAC and controls is 370 pounds, which is less than many APUs. It is also quiet, does not consume fuel, requires no maintenance, and is not subject to local idling restrictions.

Dedicated to quality, reliability, and total customer satisfaction, Mack Trucks, Inc. has provided its customers with innovative transportation solutions for more than a century. Today, Mack is one of North America's largest producers of heavy-duty trucks, and MACKĀ® vehicles are sold and serviced in more than 45 countries worldwide. All Mack manufacturing locations are certified to the internationally recognized ISO 9001 standard for quality and ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems. Mack is also a proud sponsor of Share the Road, an American Trucking Associations' public information campaign aimed at enhancing the safety of our nation's roadways.

Mack is a member of the Volvo Group, a publicly held company headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. With annual sales of approximately $34 billion, Volvo business areas include heavy trucks, buses, construction equipment, marine and industrial drive systems, aerospace, and financial services. In the United States, Volvo shares are listed on NASDAQ and are traded as ADRs (symbol: VOLV).
