Vehicle Acquisition

Alternative Fuel Vehicle Program

Vehicle acquisitions must take into account the provisions of the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992 and Executive Order (E.O.) 13149. These documents set forth the statutory requirements for the acquisition of AFVs by Federal agencies. The requirements emphasize that in fiscal year 2000 and beyond, 75% of light duty vehicle acquisitions in covered fleets must be AFVs. Annual EPAct and E.O. 13149 compliance is reported through FAST.
