Laws and Regulations

Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Acquisition Requirements

The average fuel economy for state-owned motor vehicles purchased during Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 must be at least 10% higher than the average fuel economy of state-owned motor vehicles purchased during FY 2008. Additionally, at least 75% of new light-duty motor vehicles the state fleet acquires for use primarily within a metropolitan statistical area or a consolidated metropolitan statistical area must be AFVs. State agencies must purchase flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) capable of operating on E85 fuel unless the desired vehicle model is not available with an E85-capable engine or the cost of the vehicle is at least $250 more than a comparable vehicle that does not use E85. When leasing motor vehicles, state agencies must lease FFVs unless no such vehicles are available for lease. (Reference Kansas Statutes 75-4616 through 75-4618)
