Missouri Acquisition Requirements
Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Acquisition and Alternative Fuel Use Requirements
Effective January 1, 2008, at least 70% of new vehicles purchased for the state vehicle fleet must be flexible fuel vehicles that can operate on fuel blends of 85% ethanol (E85). Excess acquisitions of AFVs may be credited towards future biennial goals. If a state agency fails to meet a biennial acquisition goal, purchases of any non-AFVs are not permitted until the goals are met or an exemption or goal reduction has been granted. In addition, 30% of the fuel purchased annually for use in operating state fleet vehicles must be alternative fuels. (Reference Missouri Revised Statutes 414.400 and 414.410)
