Alternative fuels, as defined by the Energy Policy
Act (EPAct) of 1992, are ethanol, natural gas, propane,
hydrogen, biodiesel, electricity, methanol, and p-series
fuels. These alternative fuels can be domestically
produced and derived from renewable sources. Using
these fuels in vehicles can generally reduce harmful
pollutants and exhaust emissions.
EPAct defines alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) to include
any dedicated, flexible-fuel, or dual-fuel vehicle
designed to operate on at least one alternative fuel. AFVs
are available in a variety of vehicle types ranging
from light to heavy-duty. The Clean Fleet Guide
further defines AFVs.
