FLEET
INFORMATION:

The California Department of General Services provides
annual vehicle contracts for the purchase of passenger
cars, vans, utility vehicles, and both light duty and
medium duty work trucks. Vehicles listed on these contracts
are awarded based on a life cycle analysis and thusly
are some of the cleanest and most fuel efficient vehicles
within their class. In addition, individual contracts
are developed for Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) and
Hybrid vehicles. These contracts are available to all
state agencies, local city and county governments, K-12
education, special districts, colleges and universities.
The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992 set forth the
statutory requirements for the acquisition of alternative
fuel vehicles by Federal and State agencies. In fiscal
year (FY) 2000 and beyond, 75% of light-duty vehicle
(LDV) acquisitions in covered fleets must be AFVs. Vehicles
that weigh less than 8,500 lb gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) are considered LDVs. See links below for further
information or to access these contracts.
