Types of Fleets Public – Fleets operated by federal,
state, and local governments. These fleets are typically subject to mandates which include the use of alternative fueled and advanced technology vehicles.
Private – Fleets operated by private business and organizations. Currently most mandates are followed on a voluntary basis.

To Green or Not to Green? What is a green fleet?
Uses alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles to Reduce the carbon footprint of the
company Lower emissions Improve fuel economy Sustainable and/or domestic fuels
Roles of fleet management are changing with alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles.

The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) considers
the following to be alternative fuels: Ethanol, methanol, alcohols
85% or more alcohol with gasoline
Domestic natural gas/liquid fuels from natural gas
Liquefied petroleum gas
Hydrogen Electricity Pure biodiesel (B100)
* DOE may designate other alternative fuels if certain criteria are met
What are Alternative Fuels?

The EPA also has issued additionalrequirements for alternative andrenewable fuels definitions. Renewable fuels must meet
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions when compared to 2005 baseline (gasoline/diesel)
Lifecycle GHG reductions Additional Categories by Threshold
Renewable fuel ~ 20% Advanced biofuel ~ 50% Biomass-based diesel ~ 50% Cellulosic biofuel ~ 60%

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers
the following to be alternative fuels: Liquefied petroleum gas
Compressed natural gas
Liquefied natural gas
Liquefied hydrogen Liquid hydrocarbons
derived from biomass
* Biodiesel, and ethanol are NOT considered alternative fuels by the IRS
