Green Fleets

The Michigan Green Fleets program brings advanced transportation technologies and alternative fuel solutions to fleets throughout Michigan. Clean Energy Mobility is managing this U.S. Department of Energy program—funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act—to deploy clean-fueled vehicles and build the necessary fueling infrastructure to support them.

This four-year, $40 million project brings together a diverse cross-section of Michigan fleets, which are adopting propane, compressed natural gas and hybrid vehicles. Throughout the year, Green Fleets partners will put more than 500 cleaner vehicles on the road and build more than 50 alternative fueling stations to support them. In addition to cleaner air and reduced dependency on foreign oil, Michigan Green Fleets is commercializing cutting-edge technology and manufacturing capability, all while creating jobs right here in Michigan.

Based on data drawn from an Argonne National Laboratory model, Clean Energy Mobility expects to displace at least 1.5 million gallons of petroleum per year, and more than 13 million gallons during the anticipated average 10-year equipment life cycle.

The project’s vehicles will have a significant reduction of pollution-causing emissions in the following ways:

Reduce 261,560 pounds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions annually – over 2.6 million pounds over the life cycle
Reduce 10,933,642 pounds of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions annually – over 109 million pounds over the life cycle
Reduce 156,859 pounds of particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions annually – over 1.5 million pounds over the life cycle
Reduce 102,611,815 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually – over 1.02 billion pounds over the life cycle
Reduce 2,360,232 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually – over 23.6 million pounds over the life cycle
