Alternative Fuel Vehicle Fleet Evaluation

These test and evaluation projects were designed to collect and provide objective information on real-world fleet experiences with alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs).

Fleet Studies

These studies aimed to demonstrate, by using AFVs in fleet applications, how well AFVs meet the vehicle needs of fleets. The studies assessed whether the operational performance and costs of AFVs were similar to, better than, or not as good as those of similar gasoline vehicles.
