Ride & Drive as Central Event
Shift from "Expo" to "Meeting"
Dedicated Working Groups (Day 1)

8. Feedback Themes - Comments
• Make National Meeting a 2 day event (not 3)
• Hotel venue too expensive
• Agenda can be improved…
– New speakers, less repetition, WG = discussion
•
•
•
•
Ride & Drive Focus & “Parade” were a big hit!
Need to get more fleets to participate/engage
Fine tune Technology Showcase timing/format
Increase Military presence and interaction

2-Day Event with WG’s and Ride & Drive

10. CTAG Stakeholders

11. Key CTAG Takeaways
• Cross-Cutting Issues good fit for HTUF focus
– More appropriate than picking HE Tech winners
• Webinars (30-60 minutes) good update tool
• Many Cross-Cutting issues & HE Technologies
appear to have a common thread re: certification
– Start/Stop implementation complicated by 2013 OBD
– Retrofit, Start-Ups and Low Volume handicapped
– Today’s certification process discourages innovation
• Fleets can be key asset in lobbying for change

12. Cross-Cutting Issues
• Nationwide Voucher Incentive Expansion
– Webinar scheduled for Dec 19 (3:00 PM EST)
• HD Hybrid OBD Resolution
– Follow-up meeting with ARB staff held on Oct 30
– Alt Fuel OBD Extension <4,500/yr; Hybrid next…
• Fleet Deployment Best Practices
– Forming WG
– Goals, Deliverables, Timing TBD
• Reduced Battery Life Cycle Costs
– Continued dialogue b/n Fleets and Suppliers

13. Top Technologies
• Combined Alt Fuel + Hybrid
– E.g., Near Zero Emission  CNG/LNG + HEV
•

•
Hybrid Electric
PHEV (Range Extended EV)
Electrification of Accessories

14. Military Truck Action
Group (MTAG)
Steven Sokolsky
HTUF Webinar
December 11, 2013

15. MTAG Stakeholders

16. Initial Action Group Priorities
• Match commercial technology development
efforts to military platforms through
roadmaps
• Compare commercial lifecycle cost analysis
practices to military’s
• Identify & establish mission profiles to help
industry more accurately test
• Align vehicle automation activities
• Engage key military stakeholders

17. Technology Roadmapping
• With new emphasis on sustainment, how will
military integrate new more efficient
technologies?
• Which platforms are ripe for upgrade?
• What can military incorporate from ongoing
tech development programs such as DOE
SuperTruck, I-710 or CalHEAT?

18. First Roadmap Activities
• Build advanced tech
matrix by military
platform
• Analyze M915 longhaul tractor, analyze
commercial
similarities, recomme
nd best opportunities

19. Lifecycle Cost Analysis
• Lifecycle cost is a big issue for both industry &
military
• Industry: Military has an inconsistent vision of
where technology is going & what is the value
• Military: “Performance is the cake, lifecycle
cost is the icing”

20. •
•
•
•
TARDEC 30-Year Strategic Plan
Element: Reduce Lifecycle Costs of
Ground Systems
Improve data utilization
Enhance skill sets, especially in “reliability”
Seek opportunities to reduce O&S costs
Exceed system performance objectives
Key Outcomes
• Collect lifecycle cost drivers for each ground system
• Analyze cost driver data to help identify projects
• Develop “-ity” metrics for Science & Technology efforts
and demonstrate through project execution

21. Working Group Recommendations
on LCC
• Facilitate briefings for military planners –
connect them with commercial
OEMs, suppliers & fleets on LCC practices
• Tie mission profile knowledge (peacetime vs.
wartime) to LCC practices
• Add a business roadmap to the technology
roadmap

22. Call to Action
• Commercial industry participation needed:
educate military on LCC practices
• Provide us information on commercial LCC
practices – join us in sessions with military
stakeholders

38. Funding Opportunity: Advanced
Medium and Heavy-Duty
Vehicles
• California Energy Commission (CEC) has
multiple yearly funding opportunities for clean
transportation (these are the funds CALSTART
helped create – AB118 and AB8)
• BIG funding area is advanced technology for
vehicles
• Pending: Project Opportunity Notice (PON) for
Advanced Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

39. How Much? When? For What?
HOW MUCH:
• CEC has set aside ~$15M for advanced medium and
heavy-duty vehicles in this round
WHEN:
• Had HOPED it would be available already
– But: still delayed internally – expect it in first quarter 2014
FOR WHAT:
• Hybrid, plug‐in hybrid, and all‐electric drive in M/HD vehicl
es, demos of new natural gas engines, high-efficiency
powertrain
• Post prototype; pre-commercial demonstrations – 3-5
years to production

40. Who?
• Details TBD – but….Based on last
PON, individual projects would be
combined, proposed and administered by a
non-profit organization
– CALSTART is managing $18M of CEC funding for 10
current projects
• Projects: Any firms can propose via the nonprofit – last round projects needed an OEM
and fleet (deployment) partner
– Calif demo required; Calif partners help
