摘要：	To meet state and federal mandates, state fleets, federal fleets, and fuel provider fleets must acquire alternatively fueled vehicles (AFVs). The Kansas House Bill 95-2161 exceeds the federal energy policy act regulations for state fleets. AFVs include vehicles fueled by ethanol, methanol, propane, natural gas, and electricity. This report includes information about who must comply with the regulations, what constitutes compliance, tax incentives and AFV options. Estimates within this report are based on 1996 dollars. Credits can be earned, at the rate of one credit per AFV, if AFVs are acquired in excess of the minimum requirements or in advance of the requirement date. Tax incentives are also offered for qualified AFV property, conversion equipment, and refueling property. The report discusses various AFV options including Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFVs), powered by any mixture of gasoline and alcohol fuel, and propane vehicles. In addition, public fueling stations and vehicle conversion from gas to an AFV are discussed. The report states that compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles currently have the lowest operating cost ($/mile), but have relatively high incremental initial cost and fueling station cost. Conceivably, for very high mileage applications, CNG vehicles could become the lowest cost option.
