Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), with project partners Eaton and Ford, propose to develop and demonstrate plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) utility trucks. The program will develop plug-in hybrid technology for the Ford F-550 truck chassis as a utility boom truck with demonstrations at Southern California Edison, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and Pacific Gas & Electric. This action is to participate in this $1.6 million project with cofunding not to exceed $300,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund. Additional funding not to exceed $151,950 from the Clean Fuels Fund is also requested to supplement an existing EPRI project to demonstrate five gasoline PHEV DaimlerChrysler Sprinter vans in the AQMD fleet. These five vans are part of a $12 million program to demonstrate thirty pre-commercial PHEV Sprinter vans in fleet demonstrations throughout North America and Europe. The additional AQMD funding will be used to design and modify the delivery vans for passenger service. (Review: Technology Committee, January 26, 2007)

Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge is proposing to replace their current propane tour tram with a zero emission tram as part of their long term vision to become a self-sustaining, alternative-fueled, educational facility. This action is to award a contract to Descanso Gardens to demonstrate an electric tram for transporting guests through the park. The total cost for this project is approximately $121,000, with AQMD cost share not to exceed $96,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund. (Review: Technology Committee, January 26, 2007)

6. Execute Contract to Cosponsor Development, Demonstration, and Certification of Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Engine Meeting 2010 Emission Standards
Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

Heavy-duty engines used in vocational market segments such as school buses, delivery trucks, and utility trucks are significant contributors to the Basin’s on-road vehicle emissions inventory. To meet the 2010 Federal NOx standard of 0.2 g/bhp-hr, major engine manufacturers are targeting new vehicles and are not planning to repower existing vocations at the lowest emissions. This action is to award a contract to Emissions Solutions, Inc. to develop, demonstrate and certify a 7.6L heavy-duty natural gas engine that could be used in both repower of existing diesel engines as well as in new vehicles that meets the 2010 standard at a cost not to exceed $400,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund. The remainder of the $1.2 million total project costs will be funded by the other project partners. This action is also to recognize funding from Mack Trucks, Inc. in the amount of $50,000 in response to CARB’s request and deposit into the Clean Fuels Fund as partial funding for this project. (Review: Technology Committee, January 26, 2007)

(cliu@aqmd.gov)

At the October 2002 meeting, the Board approved funding in the amount of $1 million to cost share with Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) an expansion to the existing LNG fueling station at its Anaheim or Garden Grove locations. OCTA has recently committed to pursuing CNG fueling for all future bus purchases for fuel diversity and security issues. They will continue to use LNG fuel for the existing buses. This action is to amend the previous award and apply the funds to cost share construction of a new CNG fueling station at their Santa Ana facility, estimated at $5,841,729 to construct. (Review: Technology Committee, January 26, 2007)

13.  Amend Incentive Buy-Down Program for CNG Home Refueling Appliance
Liu (909) 396-2105
(cliu@aqmd.gov)

On May 6, 2005, the Board approved matching funds with the MSRC and provided $400,000 for a buy-down incentive program for 400 natural gas home refueling appliances to broaden the consumer base for NGVs. The program specified $100,000 to purchase 100 home refueling appliances through a contract with the home refueling appliance manufacturer, FuelMaker Corporation and $300,000 to lease 300 home refueling appliances through a contract with American Honda Motor Company, Inc. (AHMC). AQMD and MSRC matching funds result in a $2,000 buy-down per home refueling appliance either purchased or leased. All 100 home refueling appliance purchases and associated incentive funds are committed; and while demand for home refueling appliance purchases continues, demand for home refueling appliance leasing is currently negligible. This action is to de-obligate $250,000 from the AHMC (or lease) contract and apportion this amount to the FuelMaker (or purchase) contract; continue the matching incentive with MSRC of $1,000 per leased home refueling appliance and commence an AQMD-only sponsored purchase incentive of $2,000 per home refueling appliance.

Wallerstein (909) 396-3131
(bwallerstein@aqmd.gov)

Staff recommends that this item be continued to the March 2, 2007 Board meeting.

At the January 5, 2007 Board meeting, Chairman Burke announced a 2007 Mobile Source Fair Share Initiative, intended to re-position AQMD to be better situated to achieve more rapid reductions in mobile source emissions traditionally under the authority of CARB and U.S. EPA. The proposed initiative features a two-part approach, including sponsorship of federal & state legislation and restructuring of district staff to create a new mobile source division. The new division would have the intended functions to: a) participate earlier and move more assertively in CARB and U.S. EPA mobile source rulemaking processes; and b) to follow up on the success of AQMD's Clean Fleet rules and develop the next generation of local mobile source strategies. Dr. Burke directed AQMD staff to develop a workplan for this half of the initiative and present it for approval at the February 2, 2007 Board meeting. This action is to approve a workplan to create a new mobile source division as proposed by Chairman Burke.
