Data Insights & Analytics
CALSTART’s Data Insights & Analytics (DnA) activity supports all of the organization’s initiatives. DnA provides performance analysis and evaluation of clean technologies and fuels; supplies technical assistance and identifies best management practices for fleets to help deploy and maximize efficient use of clean technologies; conducts life-cycle cost analysis and market projections to enable informed decision-making; and accelerates zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption through greater accessibility of data and knowledge products.

PILOT AND DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS
DnA helps manage pilot and demonstration projects to provide technical assistance to fleets deploying clean technologies and to evaluate and analyze the performance and lifetime cost of those technologies. Lessons learned from these projects offer valuable insights to fleets, utilities, and policymakers.
