• Abstract:
  Vehicles that do not consume fuel are examined to determine if they should be included under the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, as amended by Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The manner if comparing energy requirements of these vehicles with energy requirements of fuel-consuming vehicles is considered, as is the application of the Act to vehicles that do not consume fuel, their market potential, and the effects of regulations on their production and their introduction into commerce.
