Alternative Fuels for Medium-Speed Diesel Engines (AFFMSDE) Project: a baseline program planning concept for review and revision. Final report
The purpose of this document is to provide some suggestions and recommendations for the long-term continuation of the Alternative Fuels for Medium Speed Diesel Engines (AFFMSDE) Program as program support transitions from government to industry. This program was initially funded by the Non-Highway Transportation Systems Branch of the US DOE in 1978 to identify means of conserving railway-used petroleum resources through the use of petroleum-based fuels with properties deviating significantly from conventional specification diesel fuels and/or through the use of fossil fuels not derived from petroleum. In 1979, the Federal Railroad Administration of the US Department of Transportation (DOT/FRA) and the Association of American Railroads (AAR) joined the program effort providing additional financial support. Continuing funding support of the AFFMSDE Program by DOE and DOT/FRA is being curtailed. The program will be continued by the AAR and its member lines. The Multi-Year approach to Program Management Planning presented here is a suggested baseline concept. If it is subjected to review, revision, and expansion in detail by all program participants, it might provide some assistance in developing long-term, planned, support, and continuity of management that programs of this type require.
