is to achieve Step 4 by the LMC Conference in June 2015. Step 4 includes measurements of
various topics and differs from the previous steps.
5.5 Efficient Fuel Vehicles Update
The Fleet Committee has prepared to include a Plug-In Hybrid Ford Fusion in the 2016
budget for use as a City Hall pool vehicle. The Fusion gets 40-44 combined mpg using the 4-
cylinder gasoline engine and electric mode. It is able to travel in all-electric mode up to 85
mph and lasts for about 20 miles,well under the typical usage for a pool vehicle on any given
day.The Fusion is a 110V or 240V so it can be plugged into the wall at the office and
doesn't need a special charging station. It is priced in the high teens,low$20 thousands and
is compatible to the Chevy Impala which the city has traditionally purchased.
