  • Abstract:
    The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) relies on data to make informed decisions regarding its vehicle fleet, which totals approximately 4,800 units. Recognizing the environmental impact of its operations, MDOT is exploring alternative fuel and electric vehicle technologies to meet its diverse needs. This research, conducted by Hatch, an engineering consulting firm, involved assessing MDOT’s fleet, documenting current and emerging technologies, and evaluating their operational capabilities and suitability. The study included a cost/benefit analysis and emissions impact assessments, focusing on market-available alternative fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. In addition to quantitative data provided by MDOT, Hatch conducted workshops with various MDOT groups to analyze the feasibility of these technologies. Hatch provided insights for MDOT to consider initiating a zero-emission fleet transition, including pilot projects and key performance indicators (KPIs) such as CO2 reduction, cost savings, and infrastructure needs. The report details the conversion of specific vehicle types and emphasizes the environmental, financial, and operational benefits of transitioning to an alternative-fueled fleet. This research will guide MDOT in future equipment procurement and set a precedent for similar research efforts nationwide.
