To offset the additional costs, various governmental agencies and some utility companies offer tax credits, tax deductions and incentives to the purchasers of AFVs. Federal Tax Credits and Deductions 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

33. Florida Gold Coast Clean Cities Coalition - Alternative Fuel Vehicles An alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) is one that is fueled by methanol, ethanol, alternative Fuel vehicles Fueling Stations in the Florida Gold Coast http://www.sfrpc.com/fgcccc/afv.htm

"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.

SERVICES News GT Staff Contact Us Site Map ... Help Energy Policy Act Requires Purchase of Light-Duty Alternative Fuel Vehicles 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.

35. Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Sites - Explanation Of Compressed Natural Gas Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a clean alternative to gasoline. Natural gas fueled vehicles produce little carbon monoxide and reactive hydrocarbons http://www.dgs.maryland.gov/cngFacilities/indexCNG.htm

"We chose the Honda Civic GX because our operators are happy with its performance, and because we see natural gas as the cleanest, most cost-effective alternative fuel available - Joe Darling, Director of the Equipment Management Division of the New York State Dept. of Transportation "NGVs in the Massport airport fleet in Boston are outperforming their aging gasoline and diesel counterparts. Now it's at the point where drivers actually ask for the natural gas buses, and the mechanics like them because they don't see them [for repairs] as much." - Doug Wheaton, Project Manager, Transportation, for the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) Contact your Agency Fleet Manager for more information and to obtain credit cards for non-State refueling sites. 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. Natural gas is clean burning, therefore vehicle maintenance costs can be lower with less wear and tear on the engine.

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.

37. GOVERNOR: PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PROMOTES USE OF ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES S In 1995, the State owned almost no cleanfueled vehicles. New York State currently has close to 4000 alternative-fueled vehicles in its fleet, http://www.state.ny.us/governor/press/year04/june24_1_04.htm

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 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.

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.

FIND IT document.write(doClock("W0","%20","M0","%20","D0",",%20","Y0")); You Are Here: KW_breadcrumbs("Home","",0,1,"default.asp",3,4) Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Program NYSERDA provides financial assistance and technical information to encourage fleets to purchase alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs) and install fueling infrastructures or charging stations. Vehicles powered by natural gas, propane, and electricity, including certain hybrid-electric vehicles, are eligible under most of the programs NYSERDA offers. Incentives are also available to encourage the use of bio-fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. Why You Should Consider Alternative Fuel Vehicles Consider these facts: Most AFVs produce less pollution than petroleum vehicles. Tax credits and financial incentives help lower the cost of AFVs. Prices of alternative fuels are more stable and often lower than petroleum fuels. Use of alternative fuels reduces our dependence on imported oil. Automakers and engine manufacturers are expanding their lines of AFVs and engine types, and the network of fueling stations is growing.

Low-cost training for vehicle mechanics is available through certified institutions.

40. Alternative Fuels -- There's Even More You Should Know About Cleaner Vehicles The next generation of alternative fuels includes fuel cells. Propanefueled vehicles are already common in many parts of the world. http://www.californialung.org/spotlight/cleanair03_alt.html

May is Clean Air Month! May 2003 Cleaner Fuels 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. Why Switch to Cleaner Fuels? 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.
