Abstract
The present status of alternative fuel vehicles, specifically electricpowered
and compressed natural gas-powered vehicles is summarized. Specific
advantages and disadvantages of each vehicle type, in comparison to the
gasoline-powered vehicle, are reviewed. A life cycle cost model is formulated
for each vehicle type. An integer linear program is derived and
explained as a means of determining the optimal mix of vehicles for a
command's transportation fleet. The models are tested by running several
test cases using data from the Naval Postgraduate School transportation
office.
