Green Review
The enclosed report contains the comparisons of a new fleet of hybrid vehicles opposed to fuel
efficient vehicles as well as proposed recommendations for the Green Review. CVJJ
Pharmaceutics is taking innovation to the next level by trying to implement a new way to reduce
our carbon footprint as a company. It is not only a step into the future of transportation of
pharmaceuticals but a broad vision to contributing back to the environment one car at a time.
As we all know today the greenhouse gas matter has not only become an issue in our society but
has also become a norm in everyone’s day to day life. So the proposed solutions would be setting
us apart from other companies as we take the initiative of trying to separate the company from
the norm. The report contents are analyzed heavily and thoroughly in the findings that would
best suit our company’s needs. The report is based off of the beneficial factors that our company
would be taking advantage of and contributing back to the environment all in one swoop. The
report will also be examining the financial options of either purchasing or leasing the new fleet
of vehicles.
It is in our hope and our company’s best interest to review and consider all possibilities of an
implementation of a fleet of hybrid vehicles. Please feel free to get in touch with any of our
members from our In House Consulting Firm if you have any further questions regarding this
matter. We can be reached by phone at 915-571-8432, or by email at cvjjinfophar@gmail.com.

Abstract
This report explains the advantages of hybrid cars and why a conventional car should be
replaced by a hybrid car. Nowadays, a hybrid car is getting more popular and marketable
because all the advantages it has to offer. In fact, the report touches on the benefits of owning a
hybrid car and some possible effects. Recently, environmental problems have caught the whole
world’s attention, the prices and fuel are hiking up and the fuels are limited in supply. Therefore,
hybrids cars are here to help people to overcome the problems. Hybrid cars have the ability of
saving fuel which ultimately reduces the dependence of foreign fuel. Hybrids cars are more
environmental because they emit lesser toxic gas and that helps in overcoming the serious
environmental problems like climate change and global warming. In addition, tax incentives
which are offered by government only confined to hybrid car owners instead of conventional car
owners to encourage and boost up the sales of hybrid cars.
Green Review
2013
INTRODUCTION
This annual Green Review Report analyzes and examines the importance of taking the initiative
of setting our company apart from other company’s by implementing a new system of going
green. The report will provide in depth information about greenhouse gases and its effect on the
environment as well as a fighting solution that we can impose not only as a company but as
residents of this planet.
Background on Greenhouse Gases
Carbon-Dioxide is the term to describe greenhouse gases, so you can only imagine how much
carbon-dioxide is actually going into the environment each and every day. Carbon is a natural
element that is found in every living thing and is all over the world, so when a human breathes
oxygen and exhale’s it forms a bond called carbon-dioxide. When burning coal, oil or any form of
fossil fuel, it produces the deadly element as well. So when driving vehicles, producing products,
using electricity we are essentially contributing to the output of carbon-dioxide. Carbon-Dioxide
is an invisible gas that cannot be detected by sight or smell which makes it all the more
dangerous.
Effects of Greenhouse Gases on the Environment
Greenhouse gases are basically gases that trap heat in our atmosphere which in turn has a heavy
impact on global warming. The Earth’s atmosphere is an acting shield from the harmful rays of
the sun, but with all the greenhouse gases in the air, it is preventing some of the heat to leave
the atmosphere which in turn is causing the earth to heat up. So these greenhouse gases are
essentially harmful to our environment causing not only global warming, but also change in the
climate, ozone depletion, and rise of the sea level due to the melting of the ice sheets.
United States Environmental Protection Agency
The United Stated Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) was established in December of
1970 in order to work for a cleaner and healthier environment. The agency’s purpose is to
ensure the health of humans and the environment and some of the responsibilities is as follows:

Ensure all Americans are protected from significant risks to human health and the
environment where they live, learn and work

Ensure that federal laws are protecting human health and the environment are enforced
fairly and effectively

Ensure all parts of society including communities, individuals, businesses, and state, local
and tribal governments have access to information to effectively participate in managing
human health and environmental risks
Overview and Sources of Greenhouse Gases
Overview of Greenhouse Gases
Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Theses charts are measuring the total overview of greenhouse gases from 1990 up until
2011, and as you can see the amount of carbon-dioxide totals to 84% of the total output of
the greenhouse gases. Transportation plays a major contributing factor from the sources of
total output of greenhouse gas emissions, which over the years has totaled to 28%. In recent
measurements from 2011, greenhouse gas emission had totaled 6,702 million metric tons of
carbon-dioxide. Compared to 2010 the total of greenhouse gas emissions had dropped by 1.6%,
and compared from 2005 and 2011 the greenhouse gas emission had been reduced by a total of
6.9%. So there has been a trend in reduction from these harmful elements due to new
innovative methods of energy, electricity and fuel efficient hybrid vehicles.
Adoption of Green Transportation
With our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint we realize that we cannot go completely
green on all aspects of our company. But with a new system of going green we can invest in
hybrid vehicles in our transportation department, by implementing this method of
transportation. We will not only be reducing our carbon footprint as a company but also
reducing our financial transactions pertaining to fuel.
Conventional vs. Hybrid Comparison
Our team decided to implement this green fleet not only because of the environmental benefits
it will provide for our company, but the financial aspects of it as well. As shown in our Hybrid vs.
Regular table, the Hyundai Accent is the cheaper of the two vehicles estimated to be around
somewhere between fourteen thousand and sixteen thousand, whereas the Toyota Prius is
around the nineteen to twenty three thousand range. The downside to the Hyundai Accent
other than it not having an electric motor is that the vehicle only gets 28 miles per gallon in the
city and 37 miles per gallon on the highway. In the long run we believe that not only is a hybrid
vehicle better for our image, but financially better in the long run reducing costs for gasoline.
Optimal Hybrid Options
If we do decide to go towards the hybrid route, the next decision would be which hybrid model
we will choose to purchase. The three most recommended models are the Honda Insight, Honda
CR-Z, and Toyota Prius C. The frontrunner price wise is the Honda Insight. At an estimated price
of somewhere between eighteen thousand and twenty-two thousand this vehicle provides
decent miles per gallon and is a top safety pick which will be beneficial for our drivers. The
downside to this hybrid vehicle is that it does drive really rough and has very little driving power.
Of the three choices we believe the worst of them to be the Honda CR-Z. Even though the
pricing of the CR-Z is reasonable compared to its competitors, the miles per gallon the car
receives is that of a regular car. The only benefit of this vehicle is that it does have a lot of driving
torque for a hybrid vehicle, but the CR-Z is only a 2 door vehicle that will force our drivers to
encounter many dilemmas in delivering our products. Our team ultimately thinks that the best
decision for this company would be to purchase the Toyota Prius C. The pricing of this hybrid car
is relative to both of its competitors, but blows them away when you compare its miles per
gallon (53mpg city/ 46mpg hwy). The only negative aspect of this vehicle is that it drives a little
loud which can be tolerated. We believe its benefits will not only improve our company image
and driver safety, but also minimize the costs we will have to incur for purchasing a fleet of
vehicles.
Recommendation
So ultimately our team suggests to purchase the Toyota Prius C based off of the information
provided to us and the statistical comparison amongst the vehicles provided. By purchasing this
hybrid vehicle we as a team believe that our company image will be perceived better than our
competitors and will minimize company costs in the long run.

HYBRID CARS
Executive Summary
Our goal is to look for a variety of technologies to protect CVJJ budgets from increasing fuel
costs and, at the same time, fulfill with emissions-reduction requirements. Hybrid electric
vehicles can help the company improve fuel and lower emissions below comparable vehicles
with only internal combustion engines burning gasoline and diesel.
Hybrid cars were launched in 1999 by Honda, followed closely by Toyota. Since that time, the
Toyota Prius has become the leading hybrid car worldwide. Prius sales in the United States
compromise nearly one-half of all hybrid cars sold.

Regular cars: Although they have become more fuel efficient, they can’t offer the same
efficiency in terms of miles per gallon plus regular cars still pollute the environment.

Hybrid cars: In the long run these cars can save money in terms of gasoline since they use
a combination of electric motors with gasoline engines. Hybrids cars help the
environment by reducing the carbon dioxide emissions.
Hybrid cars use both an electric motor with both a battery and a combustion engine with a fuel
tank for proportion. Although, they use a minimum of gas to operate, they are emissions-free
cars. Hybrid cars are realistically a linking technology in developing and transitional countries.
While hybrid cars can be more expensive initially, the fuel savings are recovered based on
mileage and driving conditions. Analysis has shown that the hybrid car life cycle cost, including
the cost of purchase, fuel and maintenance costs, is, in most cases, less than owning a
conventional vehicle.
Based on our research of hybrid cars, the Toyota Prius is our top pick in matters of fuel
efficiency and overall cost. The Prius has the most efficient mileage per gallon than their
competitors, and it also has enough space for our materials transportation needs. The
effectiveness of hybrid cars is going to help CVJJ to save thousands of dollras in gasoline at the
end of the year, and it is going to help the environment by the reducing the carbon footprint that
normal vehicles generate.
