August Clean Cities Question of the Month

Question: Where can I find case studies and other information about fleets that have successfully adopted alternative fuels and advanced vehicles?

Answer:
Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) Resources.
The AFDC Case Studies search (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/case) is a great resource for examples of what real fleets are doing related to alternative fuels. This page allows the user to search by category or keyword. Categories include fuels and technologies, such as biodiesel and idle reduction, as well as applications such as law enforcement and public transit. The Case Study search functionality was recently updated to provide a better search experience, so be sure to check it out.
Another useful tool is the AFDC Publications database (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/publication/) . The publications database includes more detailed reports and case studies written by the national laboratories and other organizations regarding the implementation of alternative fuels and advanced vehicles in fleets. This page is also searchable by category or keyword. Read more here.
