Alternative Fuel Vehicles

The Department of State Fleet Management Office has developed a comprehensive strategy to comply with the requirements of Executive Order (E.O.) 13149. The strategy includes the use of biodiesel (B20) instead of conventional diesel fuel, the use of Ethanol (E85) in place of conventional gasoline fuel, continued acquisition of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), use of alternative fuels in AFVs, acquisition of light duty vehicles with higher fuel economy, and improvements in the operating efficiency of DOS vehicles.

Section 13218 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, 42 U.S.C. 13218(b), requires each Federal agency to place its annual fleet AFV compliance report on a publicly available website.  More information about the State Department AFV Program is provided in the most recent reports, which are reproduced below.
