In an effort to conserve national energy and to improve automobile efficiency, Congress enacted laws that help motivate vehicle manufacturers to invest in research and manufacturing of vehicles with higher fuel economy and better efficiency. Today, there are two main federal laws that govern the fuel economy of automobile fleets, as well as an incentive policy that encourage automotive manufacturers to put out more alternative fuel vehicles. Besides penalizing vehicle producers, there are also currently a few tax credits that encourage buying of alternative fuel vehicles.

This list was compiled to gain a better understanding of U.S. policies on vehicle regulations and the effect they have on manufacturers and consumers. We wish to use this information in our optimization model, combining influence of policy with engineering goals and market demands and.
