Electric-Drive Vehicles: Moving Into the Future
NYPA is helping introduce the next generation of clean-fueled
vehicle--the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
|
The New York Power Authority has helped make New York
State a pacesetter in electric-drive and clean transportation technologies. The programs and partnerships were
helping to establish help improve air
quality and reduce
dependence on foreign oil.
The Empire State's aggressive efforts to promote
electric transportation include rigorous vehicle emission standards,
tax incentives and Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act funding for
electric-drive vehicles (all electric and hybrid electric) and other
clean-fueled vehicles in mass transit and government fleets. In
addition, New York State's Executive Order No. 111 directed
that state agency fleets convert entirely to clean-fueled vehicles by 2010.
The Power Authority is
the nations largest supplier of electricity for mass transit, powering the subway
and commuter trains of metropolitan New York. Today, NYPA is playing a significant role in
these efforts to help New York State achieve a cleaner, greener future.
This vision stretches beyond New York’s borders, as well.
The New York Power Authority is an active member of the
Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA),
an international consortium of more than 100 energy producers, automotive
manufacturers and their suppliers, state and local governments and others
working to promote electric transportation.
