Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Acquisition Requirements

State agencies and other affected entities must procure increasing percentages of AFVs as part of their annual vehicle acquisition plans; hybrid electric vehicles qualify under these requirements. By 2010, 100% of all new light-duty vehicles must be AFVs, with the exception of designated specialty, police, or emergency vehicles. State agencies and other affected entities that operate medium- and heavy-duty vehicles must implement strategies to reduce petroleum consumption and emissions by using alternative fuels and improving vehicle fleet fuel efficiency. State agencies and other affected entities may substitute the use of 450 gallons of B100 for the acquisition of one alternative-fueled vehicle. The use of 2,250 gallons of B20 or use of 9,000 gallons of B5 may also be substituted in place of purchasing one alternative fueled vehicle. No more than 50% of a given state agency fleet's AFV purchase requirement may be met by substituting B100, B20, or B5 in accordance with this Order.

Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) Sales Requirement

Beginning in model year 2007, each auto manufacturer's sales fleet of passenger cars and light-duty trucks (weighing up to 3,750 pounds) produced and delivered for sale in New York must be made up of at least the same percentage of Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) subject to the same requirements set forth in Title 13, Section 1962 of the California Code of Regulations. An alternative compliance program has been instituted to expand the options automakers have to meet the mandate. Under this program, automakers must make the following commitments:

• By model year 2006, at least 10% of all vehicles sold must be partial ZEV (PZEV) or better;
• By model year 2007, 9% of vehicles must be PZEV and 1% must be ZEV, advanced technology partial ZEV (AT PZEV), such as hybrid electric vehicles, or some combination of the two;
• By model year 2008, 7% of vehicles must be PZEV, 2% AT PZEV and 1% ZEV, which could be battery-electric or fuel cell vehicles;
• Any ZEV or PZEV models available in California must also be made available in New York State;
• Beginning with model year 2009, new passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles must meet California greenhouse gas emissions standards; and
• Beginning with model year 2009, automakers must meet a fleet average greenhouse gas emissions standard, as defined in the California Code of Regulations, which will become more stringent each year through 2016.

Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Requirements – New York City

Beginning July 1, 2006, each light- and medium-duty vehicle purchased or leased by the city must achieve the highest vehicle emissions rating available within the applicable model year that meets the requirements for the intended use by the city of such vehicle.

Additionally, the city must achieve the following minimum percentage increases in the average fuel economy for all light-duty vehicles purchased by the city, relative to the average fuel economy for all such vehicles purchased by the city during the fiscal year (FY) beginning July 1, 2004:

• For the FY beginning July 1, 2006 - 5%
• For the FY beginning July 1, 2007 - 8%
• For the FY beginning July 1, 2008 - 10%
• For the FY beginning July 1, 2009 - 12%
• For the FY beginning July 1, 2010, and July 1, 2011 - 15%
• For the FY beginning July 1, 2012, July 1, 2013, and July 1, 2014 - 18%
