Fleet

In 2019 state operations increased fossil fuel gallon use by about 10% from 2018. The key drivers of this increase were a more severe winter and increased use of fuel in transit service. More severe winters require more snow removal and more idling. Metro Transit’s Metro Mobility has expanded its services, which has increased medium fleet fuel use.

Goal

30% reduction in state fleet consumption of fossil fuels by 2027 relative to a 2017 adjusted baseline.

Accomplishments

In one year, the state increased its number of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles as a share of its light-duty fleet by 54% to a total of 1,112 vehicles.

Eleven agencies reduced their fossil fuel gallons in 2019. Agencies with passenger vehicles have been able to make significant progress by purchasing hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles.

Barriers

Heavy and medium fleets drive the growth of fossil fuel use. Until alternative options exist, increasing the share of bio-based fuels is the only strategy available to reduce their fossil fuel use.

Almost 1% of the state's light fleet is electric. Electric vehicle charging at state agency locations and throughout Minnesota is insufficient to enable wide-spread adoption of electric vehicles.

Baseline

18.2 million fossil fuel gallons

Current Value

20.3 million fossil fuel gallons

Key Performance Indicators

The Fleet focus area accounts for fossil-based fuel consumed by off-road and on-road vehicles and associated road equipment. Below, the count of vehicle by segment is reported for the Enterprise. The largest segment is Light, which are passenger vehicles under 8,500 pounds. The share of total gallons by segments illustrates the distribution of all gallons. The Heavy fleet consumes the most.
