State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleet Compliance Methods [Brochure]
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 has been amended several times, allowing covered state government and alternative fuel provider fleets multiple means to comply with EPAct 1992’s alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) acquisition requirements. Originally, under what is termed Standard Compliance, these fleets had to acquire a certain percentage of AFVs each model year. Since 2001, fleets have been able to obtain some compliance credit through the purchase and use of biodiesel. More recently, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provided covered fleets additional compliance flexibility under Alternative Compliance. This compliance method allows covered fleets to employ petroleum reduction measures in lieu of acquiring AFVs under Standard Compliance. DOE’s Alternative Fuel Transportation Program is responsible for implementing the two compliance methods.
