Fleet Performance Data
Fleet performance data collected through the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST) website reveals trends in Federal agencies' alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) acquisitions, petroleum reduction efforts, and alternative fuel use. These data can help agencies analyze their fleets' performance in meeting Federal mandates.
The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) posts Federal fleet performance data sets in various formats, including charts and maps, data sets, and annual reports that can be downloaded, saved, and manipulated for individual research. Data sets are organized into the following topics:
- Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition Requirements
- Waivered Alternative Fuel Vehicles
- Vehicle Inventories
- Fuel Consumption Data
The methodologies section explains which agencies, vehicles, and fuels are covered and tracked through FAST. For more information about the data, analyses, and trends presented, please contact Cabell Hodge at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
EPAct 1992 Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition Requirements
A series of charts compares Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992) AFV acquisition requirements with total AFV acquisitions and additional AFV credits for covered Federal agencies.
View fiscal year (FY) 2000 to FY 2015 alternative fuel vehicle requirements, acquisitions, and credits by Federal agency.
EPAct 2005 Waivered Alternative Fuel Vehicles
An interactive map displays the E85 AFVs waived from meeting Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) alternative fuel use requirements. Data is based on waiver approvals for FY 2015 (submitted in FY 2014), which were primarily granted to AFVs housed more than 5 miles or a 15-minute drive from an E85 refueling station.

Federal Fleet Vehicle Inventories
The following fleet vehicle inventories are organized by fuel type, vehicle type, agency, and year. Total vehicle counts are for domestically based vehicles and include law enforcement and emergency vehicles.
- Federal Alternative Fuel Vehicles by Fuel Type
Trends in AFV inventory by fuel types from 2000–2015 - Total Domestic Federal Fleet Alternative Fuel Vehicles by Agency, Year, and Fuel Type
Agency-based data supporting AFVs by fuel type trends from 2000–2015 - Total Domestic Federal Fleet Vehicles by Fuel Type
Trends in Federal vehicles by fuel type from 2000–2015 - Total Domestic Federal Fleet Vehicles by Weight
Trends in vehicles by weight from 2000–2015 - Total Domestic Federal Fleet Vehicles by Fuel Type and Weight
Agency-based data showing vehicle trends by fuel type and weight from 2000–2015
Federal Fleet Fuel Consumption Data
Fleet fuel consumption is measured in gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE). One GGE contains the same amount of energy as a gallon of gasoline regardless of the actual volume (or density) of fuel.
- Alternative Fuel Consumption by Agency
Trends in total alternative fuel use (all types) by agency from 2000–2015 - Alternative Fuel Consumption by Fuel Type
Trends in alternative fuel consumption by fuel type from 2000–2015 - Alternative Fuel Consumption by Agency and Fuel Type
Agency-based data showing fuel consumption by fuel type trends from 2000–2015 - Petroleum and Alternative Fuel Comparison
Trends in petroleum use contrasted with that of alternative fuel use from 2000–2015 - Petroleum Consumption by Agency
Agency-based data showing petroleum consumption trends from 2000–2015
Methodologies
NREL's analysis of Federal fleet performance uses data derived from FAST. Certain covered Federal departments and agencies are required to report annually on the number of alternative fuel vehicles in their fleets as well as the total number of all vehicles, whether light-, medium-, or heavy-duty. They are also required to specify and quantify the type of fuel used. Total vehicle counts and alternative and petroleum fuel consumption amounts are for domestically based vehicles, including law enforcement and emergency vehicles.
The Federal agencies required to report this information include:
- Army Corps of Engineers
- Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency
- Department of Agriculture
- Department of Commerce
- Department of Defense (including Army, Air Force, Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and Defense Agencies)
- Department of Education
- Department of Energy
- Department of Health and Human Services
- Department of Homeland Security
- Department of Housing and Urban Development
- Department of the Interior
- Department of Justice
- Department of Labor
- Department of State
- Department of Transportation
- Department of the Treasury
