^1^Earned credits for acquisition of dedicated light-duty AFVs and
biodiesel use.

vehicles leased from the General Services Administration.

### 

### EPAct Compliance

For the X consecutive year, XXX exceeded its EPAct requirements in FY
2005. As a result of its AFV acquisitions and biodiesel fuel use, XXX in
FY 2005 earned AFV acquisition credits amounting to X percent of its
covered vehicle acquisitions, which is X percentage points higher than
the\
X percent AFV acquisition requirement (Appendix A). In short, XXX:

-   Acquired X EPAct-covered LDVs. Of these, 605 were AFVs---61 more
    vehicles than the\
    75 percent compliance requirement of X AFVs.

-   Received an additional X credits through the acquisition of
    dedicated light-duty AFVs and the use of biodiesel.

-   Earned a total of X credits (including vehicle acquisitions and
    additional credits)---X percent of covered acquisitions.

### ![](media/image1.wmf){width="3.3751968503937007in" height="2.458267716535433in"}Credits 

In FY 2005, XXX earned X credits. Federal fleets earn one credit for
every bi- or flexible-fuel AFV acquired and for every 450 gallons of
neat biodiesel (B100) or 2,250 gallons of B20 (20 percent biodiesel and
80 percent petroleum diesel) used. Additional credits are earned for
AFVs that operate exclusively on alternative fuels. For this reporting
period, XXX earned X credits for AFV acquisitions, X credits for
biodiesel use, and three additional credits for purchasing three
dedicated light-duty AFVs.

# Vehicles {#vehicles .Style1}

Flexible-fuel vehicles (FFVs), that can run\
on E85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline) or gasoline, were the
AFV of choice in FY 2005. Of the X AFVs acquired in FY 2005, X of them
were FFVs. Also, X compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles were acquired.

FFVs capable of operating on E85 comprise the majority of XXX's AFV
fleet (Exhibit 2), with CNG vehicles making up most of the balance. As
the availability of CNG vehicle models decreases, these vehicle types
will become less prevalent in XXX's fleet. Of XXX's X AFVs, only X are
liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles, and X are liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) vehicles.

### Exemptions

Of the X total LDVs acquired by

height="0.7055555555555556in"}XXX in FY 2005, X vehicles\
(X percent) were considered exempt from compliance with EPAct.
Exemptions are granted for fleet size, geographic location or use
outside a Metropolitan Statistical Area/Consolidated Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA/CMSA), and use for law enforcement. In FY 2005,
exemptions were granted as follows:

-   Fleet Size (X)

-   Geographic (X)

-   Law Enforcement (X)

-   Non-MSA/CMSA Operation/Fleet (X)

-   Non-MSA/CMSA Operation/Vehicles (X)

### FY 2006/2007 Projected Acquisitions

The attachments to this report offer a detailed look at XXX's FY 2005
acquisitions and its projected acquisitions for FY 2006 and FY 2007. As
illustrated in Exhibit 3, XXX has exceeded its annual EPAct requirements
since FY 1999 and plans to continue to exceed these requirements in the
next two years (Appendices B and C).

### E.O. 13149 Compliance

E.O. 13149 calls for each agency to reduce vehicular petroleum
consumption by 20 percent by the end of FY 2005 and specifies three
approaches agencies should take to achieve this goal:

-   Comply with EPAct's annual AFV acquisition requirements (as
    previously discussed).

-   Use alternative fuels in fleet AFVs the majority of the time.

-   Increase the fuel economy of LDV acquisitions (excluding AFVs) by 3
    mpg by the end of

> FY 2005, as compared to baseline FY 1999 acquisitions.

### Use Alternative Fuels in AFVs

In FY 2005, X percent of the fuel used in XXX AFVs was alternative
fuels. As more infrastructure becomes available, this percentage will
continue to increase. XXX recently invested \$X million to build
approximately X new alternative fuel stations at XXX locations
throughout the United States. As these stations come on line, more
alternative fuel will be available for the bi- and flexible-fuel
vehicles that dominate the XXX AFV fleet. XXX will continue to work
toward greater access to alternative fuel for fleet vehicles.

Exhibit 4 compares XXX's covered fuel use in FY 2005 and FY 1999.
Alternative fuels comprise a growing portion of XXX's covered fuel use,
representing X percent in FY 2005, up from less than half a percent in
FY 1999. During this period, XXX's total covered fuel consumption
increased X percent, yet XXX was able to reduce covered petroleum
consumption by X percent, largely by replacing petroleum fuel with
alternative fuel.

### Improve Fuel Economy

Toward the petroleum reduction goal set forth in E.O. 13149, the E.O.
calls for each agency to increase the fuel economy of its LDV
acquisitions (excluding AFVs). Each year since FY 1999, XXX has
increased the average fuel economy of its vehicles and achieved a X mpg
improvement in FY 2005.

### Petroleum Consumption Progress Report

In FY 2005, XXX consumed X GGE of alternative fuels, thereby reducing
gasoline and diesel fuel consumption in XXX vehicles.

Exhibit 5 shows that although XXX has not reached the 20 percent
reduction goal it has been successful in displacing petroleum. Without
E.O. 13149, XXX's covered petroleum consumption would have grown from X
million GGE in FY 1999 to more than X million GGE in FY 2005. However,
due to alternative fuel use, covered petroleum consumption dropped to X
million GGE.

### Summary and Conclusions

In FY 2005, XXX exceeded its EPAct FY 2005 AFV acquisition requirements
and expects to exceed them in FY 2006 and FY 2007. Toward compliance
with E.O. 13149, XXX used alternative fuels in its AFVs X percent of the
time, achieved a X mpg increase in fuel economy, and reduced its
petroleum consumption by X percent as compared to FY 1999. XXX is
continuing its efforts to reduce petroleum consumption through increased
alternative fuel usage beyond X percent, accelerated replacement of
conventional vehicles with AFVs, and acquisition of hybrid and fuel
efficient vehicles for fleets not covered by these requirements. Exhibit
6 summarizes XXX's FY 2005 performance.
