Extractions: Home Alternative Fuel Vehicle Guide Executive Order (EO) 13031, signed December 17, 1996, Federal Alternative Fueled Vehicle Leadership, requires all Federal agencies to develop and implement an aggressive AFV program in compliance with the National Energy Act of 1992. The following information is provided to assist you in the purchasing of AFVs. What are the requirements of the Executive Order and the Energy Act? The National Energy Act states that Federal agencies must acquire alternative fueled vehicles as an effort to reduce pollution and emissions in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). To comply with the Executive Order and the Energy Act, Federal agencies must acquire the following percentages in the given fiscal year (FY): For 1999 and beyond the Executive Order requires that 75% of all vehicles acquired be alternative fueled vehicles. Acquisitions covered under the Executive Order include vehicles obtained through the GSA Interagency Fleet Management System, commercial leases and actual purchase of vehicles. Law enforcement vehicles and vehicles located outside Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) are exempt from the requirements.

Extractions: Most alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) currently cost more than conventional gasoline-fueled vehicles. To offset the additional costs, various governmental agencies and some utility companies offer tax credits, tax deductions and incentives to the purchasers of AFVs. The National Energy Policy Act (EPAct) allows a federal tax credit of 10 percent of the cost of electric vehicles. The credit is based on the purchase price of the vehicle and may not exceed $4,000. The credit is available to vehicles placed into service after June 30, 1993, and before January 1, 2005. Date Vehicle Bought Federal Tax Credit For Electric Vehicle Up to $4,000 Up to $3,000 Up to $2,000 Up to $1.000 The EPAct also allows for a maximum of up to $2,000 as a federal tax deduction for clean-fuel vehicles that use clean fuels such as ethanol, methanol, natural gas or propane (liquefied petroleum gas or LPG). The federal tax deduction is based on the incremental cost of equipping the vehicle to use the clean fuel, the amount above the price of a conventional gasoline-only fueled vehicle. The federal deduction is available for vehicles placed into service after June 30, 1993, and before January 1, 2005. Some other provisions of the federal laws are: A $5,000

Extractions: "Creating a Cleaner Future through Alternative Fuels for Florida" An alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) is one that is fueled by methanol, ethanol, biofuels, natural gas, propane, electricity or hydrogen. By converting cars, buses, and trucks to use alternative fuels, we can actively take steps to protect the environment, improve the quality of the air we breathe, reduce our dependence on foreign oils, and create new jobs and markets in our communities. Transportation related emissions from gasoline and diesel fueled vehicles contribute to more than 50% of the air pollution in the Florida Gold Coast region. Ground level ozone pollution increases the likelihood of respiratory illnesses, headaches and crop damages. Using alternative fuels greatly reduces ozone forming emissions and exposure to toxins, and improves the air quality in our cities. More than 1/3 of all Americans live in cities that violate Federal public health standards for air quality. Vehicles using alternative fuels reduce oil spills and run off, and improves the quality of our water supply.
Extractions: Help The Energy Policy Act was passed in 1992 to accelerate the use of alternative fuels in the transportation sector. The U.S. Department of Energy's primary goals are to decrease the nation's dependence on foreign oil and increase energy security through the use of domestically produced alternative fuels. Federal, state and alternative fuel providers fleets are mandated by EPAct. Fleets that own, operate, lease or control at least 50 light-duty vehicles (8,500 lbs. or less) are covered. Of the fleet vehicles, 20 or more must be operated primarily within a metropolitan statistical area with a population of at least 250,000 people. The vehicles must also be centrally fueled or capable of being centrally fueled. Fleets meeting all three of these requirements must make a certain percentage of their new vehicle purchases alternative fuel vehicles. EPAct recognizes the following alternative fuels: methanol, ethanol and other alcohols; blends of 85 percent or more of alcohol with gasoline; natural gas and liquid fuels domestically produced from natural gas; biodiesel; liquefied petroleum gas (propane); coal-derived liquid fuels; hydrogen and electricity. As a result of EPAct, DOE established the Alternative Fuel Transportation Program. The AFTP includes public outreach and commercialization programs at DOE that relate to alternative motor fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. The following programs are part of AFTP.
Extractions: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a clean alternative to gasoline. Vehicles can use the same clean burning, safe, natural gas that is used to heat homes and offices. Natural gas fueled vehicles produce little carbon monoxide and reactive hydrocarbons (major components of air pollution and smog), resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment.
Extractions: The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Site was designed to make it easier for State Drivers to fuel Alternatively Fueled Vehicles (AFV's). In addition, your vehicle benefits from the use of alternative fuels through reduced oil changes and extended engine life. We at DGS hope that this AFV Refueling Site will make it easier for you to fuel with alternative fuels. The site provides directions and pertinent information on alternative fuel stations in the Maryland area. DGS will update the site periodically as more stations become available in the Maryland area.
Extractions: June 24, 2004 GOVERNOR: PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PROMOTES USE OF ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES STATEWIDE Eight Compressed Natural Gas Fueling Stations Now Open to Public Governor George E. Pataki today announced a new innovative public-private partnership between the State and Clean Energy the largest provider of vehicular natural gas in North America that will create a "clean fuel corridor" in New York by opening eight compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations across the State to the public for the first time. The initiative will make CNG fuel more readily available and further promote the use of clean-fueled vehicles by local governments, schools, businesses and other New Yorkers. The Governor was joined by Andrew Littlefair, President and CEO of Clean Energy, State and local officials and numerous industry representatives during a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the public opening of one of the new stations which is located at the Perry S. Duryea State Office Building in Hauppauge, Suffolk County. Governor Pataki said, "New York is leading the nation in efforts to promote energy independence, economic opportunity and environmental protection through the promotion of clean, renewable, and reliable energy sources. I'm proud to support innovative partnerships, like the one announced today with Clean Energy, which will help us reduce our dependence on foreign oil and provide environmental and economic benefits for future generations.
Green Car Congress: More Alternative Fuel Vehicles In Public Fleets But the county is not alone in its use of alternatively fueled vehicles. Local governments are increasingly turning to the vehicles as a way to promote http://www.greencarcongress.com/2004/08/more_alternativ.html
Extractions: Main The McKinney Courier-Gazette (Texas) gives a fairly detailed description of the alternative fuel strategy being employed by the Collin County, Texas, fleet managers, which includes clean diesel fuel (ultra-low sulfur after a biodiesel trial), hybrids, bi-fuel trucks (propane or gasoline) and retrofitting. But the county is not alone in its use of alternatively fueled vehicles. Local governments are increasingly turning to the vehicles as a way to promote cleaner air in their areas. Collin County, like so many other metropolitan areas in Texas is considered by the Environmental Protection Agency to be in non-attainment for the reduction of ground-level ozone, so local governments, the search for cleaner fuels seems to be the only answer. Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Texas Department of Transportation, Capital Metro in Austin, the cities of Houston, Austin and San Antonio use either ultra-low sulfur diesel, hybrid vehicles, natural gas vehicles or some combination.

Extractions: May is Clean Air Month! May 2003 What are Cleaner Fuels? Reduce Air Pollution and Get Your Reduced Rental Rate or Purchase Price for an Electric, Natural Gas or Hybrid Car Now! The most familiar transportation fuels in this country are gasoline and diesel fuel, but many other energy sources are capable of powering motor vehicles. These include electricity, natural gas, fuel cells, ethanol, methanol and propane. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, but all of them have the potential to produce less air pollution than gasoline or diesel fuel. This is true even compared to a newer, cleaner car with the latest emission control technology. Cars operating on today's gasolines emit complex mixtures of compounds that lead to the formation of ground-level ozone, and many of these compounds are also toxic. A lot has been done to reduce automobile pollution, from development of innovative emission control technologies like catalytic converters, to the establishment of inspection and maintenance programs. But each year there are more cars on the road, traveling more miles, and the pollution control measures taken so far have not been sufficient to solve the ozone problem in many cities. Diesel-powered vehicles are small in numbers compared to the total vehicles in California, but diesel engines account for 40 percent of the total nitrogen oxide emissions and about 60 percent of the total particulate matter from mobile sources. Diesel is also a major contributor to ozone air pollution in California, but diesel-powered vehicles have not been subject to the same stringent emission controls and testing requirements as gasoline-powered cars.
