Assessment of PNGV Fuels Infrastructure: Infrastructure Concerns Related to the Safety of Alternative Fuels.

DE2001768565

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Plotkin, S. E.
Page Count	47
Abstract	This study examines infrastructure requirements and concerns associated with fuel safety, assuming that new fuels are introduced into the light-duty-vehicle (LDV) marketplace by the large-scale production of 3X vehicles-vehicles attaining three times the fuel economy of today's vehicles-under the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV). The maximum-penetration scenario examined assumes that 3X vehicles enter the market in 2007 and capture a 60% share of the new LDV market by 2030. The case of all the 3X vehicles using a single new fuel and the case of a variety of new fuels being introduced are both of interest in defining potential concerns about infrastructure.
