The following pages contain calculators that will allow you to "build" a fleet of biodiesel-capable, flexible-fuel, hybrid, and/or natural gas vehicles, as well as estimating your fuel and operational cost savings. If you would like additional information on turning your fleet into a clean fuels fleet, please contact us at info@cleanfuelsohio.org.

Next Energy Fleet Processing Tool
Use this site to search for ethanol- and biodiesel-capable vehicles as well as hybrids to include in your vehicle fleet. The site includes vehicle specifications as well as a fleet processing tool to include information such as driving distance and number of vehicles.

Responsible Purchasing Network Hybrid Cost Calculator
Use the Hybrid Calculator to compare hybrid electric (HEV) and conventional vehicles. The calculator includes purchase price, fuel costs, repair and maintenance costs, resale value, and applicable tax incentives, and calculates expected lifetime costs for both vehicles, as well as cost and emissions savings from the HEV. Compare a single vehicle or up to five vehicles for fleets.

HEV Cost Calculator - Single Vehicle Tool
This tool, provided by the US Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, allows you to compare cost, emissions, and fuel savings of a hybrid vehicle and your current vehicle, or another vehicle of your choice. The calculator projects resale value, lifetime emissions savings, and fuel savings to let you know if buying a hybrid vehicle over a traditional car is right for you.

HEV Cost Calculator - Fleet Tool
Providing similar information to that of the single vehicle calculator (above), this tool, also provided by the US Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, compares several hybrid and traditional vehicles at once -- perfect for your fleet-building needs.

EERE FFV Calculator
This tool allows you to build a flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) fleet by examining fuel savings based on average E85 cost in your state according to vehicle model and miles driven.

Argonne National Laboratory Fleet Savings Calculator
This page provides a fleet savings worksheet in either .pdf or Excel format to calculate savings from using idle reduction equipment such as APUs.
