  • Abstract:
    The Clean Cities network is growing, and more fleets are considering alternative fuels. ; "Industry old-timers" that have been using alternative fuels since the passage of Energy Policy ; Act of 1992 are beginning to replace their used alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) with new ones. ; Many of the used vehicles, however, still have a lot of life left in them. Used AFVs can offer fleets ; a less expensive way to test the alternative fuel waters. Our cover story for this issue examines ; the current used AFV market and describes a few local AFV resale efforts. ; Clean Cities not only promotes AFVs, but also-and perhaps more importantly-encourages ; the increased use of alternative fuel in AFVs. Flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs), with no incremental ; cost, were once considered the solution to the notorious chicken and egg problem of the alternative ; fuel industry. FFVs are an attractive option for fleets, but if drivers do not fuel their vehicles ; with E85, FFVs contribute nothing to our clean air and petroleum displacement goals. To help ; connect FFV drivers with the fuel, the Minnesota E85 Team, ; which recently celebrated the opening of the 50th public access ; E85 station in the Twin Cities region, has come up with some ; creative ways to promote E85 use. You can learn more about ; the Minnesota effort-which has built the largest E85 refueling ; network in the country-in our feature story.
