With emissions regulations tightening, construction fleet managers are facing growing pressure to adopt cleaner vehicle technologies. There are a variety of cleaner alternative fuels to consider when making a change. This presentation will look at the most common alternatives, including hybrid-electric, natural gas and hydrogen, along with the infrastructure needs of each. There is no single solution, and each fleet will need to consider its specific situation to determine the best TCO. Attendees will leave this presentation with a stronger understanding of the technical and operational factors involved in switching their fleets over to a cleaner alternative fuel.
- How a hybrid system works by combining a combustion engine and electric motors
- The differences between natural gas and hydrogen when powering your vehicle
- Infrastructure requirements needed for each of the alternative fuels
- Understand the differences when using hydrogen in an internal combustion engine (ICE) versus a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV)
- Off-road case studies for each of the alternative fuels discussed
