Additional Guidance
Federal agencies are mandated by the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) and the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) to purchase alternative fuel vehicles, increase consumption of alternative fuels, and reduce petroleum consumption. In addition, the May 2011 Presidential Memorandum--Federal Fleet Performance requires all new light duty vehicle purchases or leases to be AFVs by December 31, 2015.
Agencies wishing to buy AFVs may submit an order through GSA's AutoChoice online ordering tool. Visit the GSA Automotive site
for more information on purchasing vehicles, and GSA Fleet
for information on vehicle leasing. Agencies interested in leasing AFVs and wanting more information should contact their servicing GSA Fleet office, call (703) 605-5630, or e-mail AFVteam@gsa.gov.
Visit DOE's Alternative Fueling Station Locator to find your nearest fueling station.
FEMP's Sustainable Federal Fleets website provides guidance and assistance to help implement Federal legislative and regulatory requirements mandating reduced petroleum consumption and increased alternative fuel use. FEMP's efforts include assisting agencies with implementing and managing energy-efficient and alternative fuel vehicles and facilitating a coordinated effort to reduce petroleum consumption and increase alternative fuel use annually.
