Overview of Attributes– Light Duty Vehicles (LDV)– Medium and Heavy Duty Vehicles (MDV/HDV)
Overview of Scenarios– Preliminary Forecast– Revised Forecast
Purpose
California Energy Commission
Cases vs Scenarios• “Case” refers to the demand forecast, defined by
different combinations of key inputs.• “Common cases” refers to the use of same
income, population, and fuel prices (low, reference, high) across different energy demand forecasts at the Energy Commission.
• “Scenarios” refer to the inputs that are used in the Transportation Energy Demand Forecast in the “common cases”, as well as the “transportation specific” demand cases, and include vehicle attributes, fuel price, and consumer preferences.

Vehicles are characterized by their attributes such as:• Price• Fuel Economy/Miles Per Gallon (MPG)• Fuel Cost• Maintenance Cost• Range• Acceleration• Storage Capacity• …and others
What Are Vehicle Attributes?

Economic and demographic forecasts determine fleet size, LDV models.
Vehicle attributes drive consumers’ choice of vehicle type• Fuel prices and vehicle attributes determine fleet
composition, by vehicle class and fuel type. • Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) is one of the
fuel/technology choices the consumers have, as is fuel cell vehicle (FCV), given their vehivle attributes and relative fuel prices.
Fleet Size vs Fleet Composition

Consumer Choose from10 Fuel/Vehicle Technologies, and 15 classes of LDVs
• Gasoline• Gasoline-Electric Hybrid• Gasoline-E85 Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV)• Diesel• Diesel-Electric Hybrid• CNG• Gasoline-Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Dual Fuel• Battery Electric Vehicle• Plug-in Electric Hybrid Vehicle (PHEV)• Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV)

• Most studies use broader LDV vehicle classes. – For instance, David Greene (and National Research Council
or NRC) study use LaveTrans model with two broad classes of cars and trucks for LDVs.
• Energy Commission models use 15 classes of LDVs: – Subcompact, compact, midsize, large and sport cars, 3
classes of cross utility, 3 classes of sport utility vehicles (SUV), 2 classes of vans, and 2 classes of trucks.

• While Energy Commission models use class-based analysis, the reality is that different makes and models of vehicles compete for consumer choice.
• The mid-size class has the most sales in California. − e.g. Nissan Leaf is one of 121 other makes and model choices
within the midsize class, if one has already decided to purchase a midsize vehicle.
Vehicle Class-Based Analysis

• Almost all research and surveys have identified vehicle price as the primary factor in vehicle choice.
• Manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) includes the dealer mark-up over the manufacturer invoice price, and other fees.
• Transaction price: – Includes additional amount paid for different options added to
base vehicle.– Excludes government incentives such as rebates and tax
breaks.– Varies by negotiating skills of salesperson and the buyer.– Can change over time, for the same model year vehicle,
generally lower after new model year vehicles are introduced.

• MSRP almost always exceeds the negotiated or transaction price.
• To comply with regulations manufacturers can distribute profit differently across different models they supply to market.
• Sales Weighted Average Price (SWAP) is based on transaction price and # of vehicles sold of each of the 121 makes and models in the midsize class, for example.

The Energy Commission’s forecasting models do not include vehicle choice for MD/HD vehicles.
For Trucks only
Staff used two vehicle attributes in a preprocessing step to forecast market penetration rate by alternative fuel type, for compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), electric, and diesel electric hybrid:
• Vehicle Price• Fuel Economy

Overview of LDV Scenarios
California Energy Commission
14
Three demand cases were defined by three sets of model inputs for energy prices, income and population.
One set of light duty vehicle attributes, identified as the reference scenario, was used for all demand cases.
Demand cases were defined as:• High Energy Demand: Low energy prices, high income,
high population growth• Reference: Reference energy prices, income, and
population growth• Low Energy Demand: High energy prices, low income and
low population growth
Preliminary LDV Forecast Scenarios
California Energy Commission
15
• ZEV regulations apply to auto manufacturers.• Manufacturers alter the attributes of the vehicles they offer
for sale in order to meet the requirements. • Consultants projecting vehicle attributes have been directed
to generate vehicle attributes to ensure compliance with ZEV regulations, for all demand cases.
• Staff used the 2013 IEPR vehicle attribute projections, with price forecasts generated from the LaveTrans model.
• State and Federal ZEV incentives are applied in demand models that result in additional impact on consumer choices.
• Consumer preferences were held constant in the preliminary 2015 IEPR demand forecast.
ZEV Compliance Method
California Energy Commission
16
• Staff will use three scenarios for each of the following vehicle attributes:
• Vehicle Price• Makes and Models
• The LDV attribute scenario differences will be driven by energy price scenario differences, using LaveTrans model (the same model used in NRC and David Greene studies).
• More aggressive measures, such as greater ZEV vehicle price reductions, to ensure ZEV compliance in the reference case.
What is Different in the Revised Forecast?
California Energy Commission
17
• We will create 3 Plug in Electric Vehicle (PEV) Demand scenarios for consumer preferences for fuel type:
• Low PEV demand case. No change in consumer preferences over the forecast period.
• Reference case Continuously increasing preferences, in favor of all ZEV vehicles, as the ZEV markets expand..
• High PEV demand case Continuously increasing preferences are the same as in reference scenario, for ZEV vehicles.
• This is a departure from past practice.• The revised reference case forecast will be further
constrained to meet the ARB’s ZEV most likely scenario.

Preliminary vs Revised Forecast Input Scenarios
• Demand cases are defined by different combinations of key inputs.
• “Common” refers to the use of same income, population, and fuel prices across different models.

• The three demand cases are the same as defined for LDVs.
• In the preliminary 2015 IEPR demand forecast, staff used one CNG market penetration rate for alternative fuels from the National Petroleum Council (NPC) high case, same as the market penetration rate that was used for the 2013 IEPR.
Preliminary 2015 IEPR Forecast
California Energy Commission
21
• The revised 2015 IEPR demand forecast will use three sets of market penetration rates for different alternative fuel vehicles.
• These market penetration rates are based on truck price and fuel economy forecasts developed by Sierra Research, as well as fuel price scenarios developed by staff.
