ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY VEHICLES MANUFACTURING DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM
The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) direct loan program was established in Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to support the production of fuel-efficient, advanced technology vehicles and qualifying components in the United States.
The ATVM loan program provides direct loans to automotive or component manufacturers for reequipping, expanding, or establishing manufacturing facilities in the U.S. that produce fuel-efficient advanced technology vehicles or qualifying components, or for engineering integration performed in the U.S. for advanced technology vehicles or qualifying components.
To date, the program has supported the production of more than 4 million advanced technology vehicles and has over $16 billion in remaining loan authority.
