Alternative Fuel and Advanced Vehicle and Infrastructure Acquisition Requirements

The Louisiana Division of Administration must purchase alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) capable of operating on alternative fuels that meet or exceed the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) standards, including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Alternative fuels include compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (propane), reformulated gasoline, methanol, ethanol, advanced biofuels, electricity, and other fuels that meet or exceed the CAA standards. State agency vehicles may be granted a waiver.

Political subdivisions may also purchase or lease AFVs, including HEVs and may acquire infrastructure to fuel AFVs. If the infrastructure is donated, loaned, or provided through an alternative fuel supplier, the supplier is entitled to recoup the cost of the equipment through fuel charges under the supply contract.
