Table 1 below summarizes federal fleet requirements for vehicle acquisitions, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and fuel consumption. Table 1. Summary of Federal Fleet Requirements The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992, as amended by the Energy Conservation Reauthorization Act of 1998 and Section 2862 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 Acquire 75 percent of light-duty vehicles as AFVs, unless exempted EPAct of 2005, Section 701 Use alternative fuels to operate dual-fueled vehicles, unless the vehicles qualify for a waiver Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, Section 141 Light-duty (LD) or medium-duty (MD) passenger vehicle acquisitions must be low-GHG vehicles (LGHGVs) Executive Summary of Compliance Table 2.
