State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleets

The U.S Department of Energy (DOE) manages the State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleet program, which requires covered fleets to acquire alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) as a percentage of their annual light-duty vehicle acquisitions or employ other petroleum-reduction methods in lieu of the acquisition requirements. DOE established these requirements through final rulemakings that are codified in 10 CFR Part 490, which is available on the U.S. Government Printing Office Web site.
