Need Some Basic Information?

Let's face it. Americans love their vehicles. But the U.S. spends about $2 billion a week on oil imports, mostly for transportation fuel. This need for oil affects our national security. Also, vehicle emissions are the leading source of U.S. air pollution, which jeopardizes our health. Fortunately, there are solutions to these problems. Vehicles powered by domestically produced, clean alternative fuels and other energy efficient, advanced technology vehicles can help reduce our dependence on imported oil and improve air quality.

Using the Vehicle Buyer's Guide, you can learn about different technologies, view vehicle lists with pricing and technical specifications, locate nearby alternative fuel stations, contact a dealer or industry expert, learn about financial incentives, and more.
