State Vehicle Acquisition and Fuel Use Requirements

Repealed: 09/29/2021

Arizona state agencies, boards, and commissions must purchase hybrid electric vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), or vehicles that meet set greenhouse gas emissions standards. At least 75% of light-duty state fleet vehicles operating in counties with a population of more than 250,000 people must be capable of operating on alternative fuels. If the AFVs operate in counties with populations of more than 1.2 million people, those vehicles must meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards for Low Emission Vehicles. Alternatively, the state fleet may meet AFV acquisition requirements through biodiesel or alternative fuel use or apply for waivers. For the purpose of these requirements, alternative fuels include propane, natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, qualified diesel fuel substitutes, E85, and a blend of hydrogen with propane or natural gas.
