Advanced Vehicle Acquisition and Alternative Fuel Use Requirement

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) is required to continue to comply with the requirements of the federal Energy Policy Act of 1992. The DTMB must include hybrid electric vehicles within the state's fleet if the vehicles are determined to be cost effective and capable of meeting the state's transportation needs. In addition, as the state's public alternative fuel fueling infrastructure continues to develop, the state's alternative fuel vehicle fleet is required to fuel with, and operate using, alternative fuels to the extent possible. The DTMB will develop rules to encourage or require the use of diesel fuel with the highest percentage of biodiesel content available for diesel-powered vehicles in the state fleet.
