Section 141 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) entitled Federal Vehicle Fleets, amends section 303 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct92) (42 U.S.C. Section 13212). It supports the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by prohibiting federal agencies from acquiring light-duty motor vehicles and medium duty passenger vehicles (MDPVs) that are not low GHG-emitting vehicles. This guidance document applies to federal agencies only. This guidance document does not apply to fuel provider fleets or state agency fleets subject to EPAct92 Section 501 and 507. In order to facilitate the purchase of low GHG-emitting vehicles by the federal government, EISA Section 141 directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to define what a low GHG-emitting vehicle is and to identify annually the makes and models of such vehicles. This guidance explains the criteria EPA uses to identify low GHG-emitting vehicles, directs federal agencies to EPA's web-based Green Vehicle Guide for up-to-date information about light-duty motor vehicles certified for sale in the United States, and provides the necessary information and resources for federal agencies to implement EISA Section 141.
