Alternatives to Traditional Transportation Fuels 2003

2002, 2001, 2000, 1999,1998

Alternative Fueled Vehicles Made Available 2003, Survey Data (Tables 14 – 20)
These tables represent the number of onroad alternative-fueled vehicles (AFVs) made available by both the original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket vehicle conversion facilities for years 2003 and 2004. These data include gasoline- or diesel-electric hybrids which are published separately from electric fuel type categories because they fall outside EPACT’s definition of an AFV. The Department of Energy has ruled that gasoline- and diesel-electric hybrids are not “alternative fuel vehicles.” The source for these data is the Form EIA-886 “Annual Survey of Alternative Fueled Vehicle Suppliers & Users.”

Weight class definitions are as follows:

  • Light Duty = 8,500 lbs or less GVWR
  • Medium Duty = 8,501 – 26,000 lbs GVWR
  • Heavy Duty = 26,001 lbs and over GVWR

Fuel type acronyms are as follows:

  • CNG = Compressed Natural Gas
  • EVC = Electric
  • E85 = Ethanol, 85 Percent
  • HYD = Hydrogen
  • LNG = Liquefied Natural Gas
  • LPG = Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane)
