The Energy Policy Act (EPACT) of 1992 and Executive Order 13149 mandate federal agencies to acquire Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs).  Since 1999, the federal fleets are required to obtain 75% of their light-duty annual acquisitions as AFVs in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs).  Vehicles acquired outside of the MSAs also count towards an agency’s percentage, but are not required.  Section 301 of EPACT defines alternative fuels as: “methanol, denatured alcohol, mixtures containing up to 85% methanol or denatured ethanol, natural gas, propane (liquefied petroleum gas), biodiesel, hydrogen, and electricity.”

GSA Fleet has been providing quality AFVs to the federal community since 1991. GSA has purchased over 68,000 of these vehicles for its customers, making GSA Fleet the second largest AFV fleet in the United States. Currently, GSA Fleet has over 30,000 AFVs in its inventory.
