Transportation

• Currently, there are 9 flexible fuel vehicles (FFV) in our departmental fleet located across the state.
   
  • There are 12 public E85 fueling stations located across the state (4 in the metro area).
     
  • All 6 new 2007 vehicles were ordered with the FFV engines.  Only one of the vehicles on the replacement list has a FFV engine so once these new vehicles arrive our agency will have a total of 14 FFV’s. Delivery is expected between April and June. 
     
  • This year will be the first year that any of our 4X4 trucks (5) will have the FFV.
     
• Awaiting records of battery durability before ordering any hybrids.
   
• There are no electrical cars in our fleet due to a lack of ability to charge the battery, speed limitations and a design limitation not yet intended for long term highway travel.
   
• Due to cold starts on diesels, there are no diesels in our fleet; therefore, there are no bio-diesels that run on used oil (e.g.. french fry oil).
