Fleet Average Calculators (Revised 2/4/09):
The Fleet Average Calculators are Excel files designed to assist fleet owners in calculating a fleet's Fleet Average and Fleet Average Targets, based on the equipment model year and horsepower input. The calculators allow fleets to experiment with different turnover, repower, and retrofit strategies to plan for compliance with the in-use off-road diesel vehicle regulation.

This fleet average calculators with hours will allow the user to insert the hours of operation for each vehicle, and weighs their fleet average towards the vehicles used the most. This provision may help fleets who have newer equipment they use substantially more than their older equipment. To take advantage of this option when complying with the regulation, the fleet must report the annual hours of use from a non-resettable hour meter for each vehicle. The calculators with hours also reflect the extension of double credit for retrofits to January 1, 2010.

Choose the appropriate calculator for your fleet size (medium / large or small) and whether you would like to use the hours in fleet average option.

WARNING                    WARNING                    WARNING *****THESE CALCULATORS ARE FOR YOUR OWN PLANNING USE - THEY ARE NOT FOR REPORTING. TO REPORT, USE ARB's ONLINE REPORTING SYSTEM***** Online Reporting Link

Statewide Off-road Regulatory Cost / Benefit Model: An updated version the Statewide Off-road Regulatory Cost/Benefit Model has been automated to evaluate multiple fleets in a single program. The model is a Visual Basic module that runs within an Access database and utilizes Access queries. The model is described in detail in Appendix H of the April 2007 Technical Support Document. The zipped file is approximately 15 MB, the uncompressed file is approximately 60 MB but will substantially increase in size as it is used. The output of this model only includes equipment capital costs. [NOTE: This model is computationally intensive and may exceed the limits of a computer's operating system depending on how many vehicles are run.] 

Statewide Off-Road Costs Spreadsheet
: This spreadsheet uses the output from the Statewide Off-Road Regulatory Cost / Benefit Model to calculate total statewide costs. These include reporting, maintenance, and other costs.  .
