Our product, hats will be distributed in New York.

The 2012 Ford Transit Connect will be used as our efficient fossil fuel option.

The Solar Prius is our alternative fuel option for distributing our product.

Fossil Fuel Option2012 Ford Transit Connect

City-22mpg Highway-27mpgCost:$22,035 Gas Engine

Vs. GMC Savanna Cargo Van

City-15mpg Highway-20mpgCost:$25,090 Diesel Engine

The Ford Transit Connect is an efficient vehicle for our company because of the large cargo space, maneuverability and the fuel efficiency. Since we will be distributing in New York, the smaller van will be a viable option for distributing hats. A huge 18 wheeler is unnecessary since our product is small and we wont be traveling huge distances.

Diesel gas is more expensive than gasoline on average by 30 cents. The Transit Connect only costs 22,035$, while the less efficient Savanna Cargo costs $3,000 more, plus the added cost of the expensive diesel fuel.

The Transit Connect is a new model so the cost of owning the vehicle is unknown.Future models will be equipped with Ecoboost

– Ecoboost will increase fuel efficiency by 20% and reduce greenhouse emissions by 15%.

Alternative fuelSolar Electric Vehicles

Solar charging system for hybrid electric vehicles increased electric driving range and improves fuel economy

The SEV system generates energy from sunlight and converts this energy to high voltage which is utilized to charge the supplemental battery or Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack

This allows the Hybrid Vehicle to operate for extended driving range in the electric mode

A residential or commercial solar electrical system can join with the SEV system

Alternative Fuel

In the solar mode, you can range up to 30 miles per day and improve your fuel economy up to 34-60%.

The electric driving range mode can be up to 70 miles per gallon in city, under 42 MPH.
