Abstract:Section 507(o) of the Energy Policy Act requires state governments to purchase
an increasing percentage of alternative fueled vehicles for their light-duty
vehicle (LDV) fleets. This requirement began in model year 1996. To determine
the effect of this mandate, this paper estimates the total number of state
vehicles that may be "covered" under this mandate and the number of alternative
fueled LDVs that may be acquired as a result of this mandate. In addition, this
paper presents operating characteristics, fuel use, turnover rate, and refueling
practices of state fleet vehicles.
