Vehicle and Infrastructure Cash-Flow Evaluation Model Updated

The update is intended "to allow fleets greater flexibility in determining payback periods for natural gas vehicles and fueling infrastructure." VICE can be downloaded from the Tools page of the Alternative Fuels Data Center.

To use the VICE Model, users input fleet-specific data, including number of vehicles, vehicle types, fuel use, and planned vehicle-acquisition schedules. The tool then provides numerical and graphical presentations of return on investment, payback period, and annual GHG savings.
