State Legislators Group Issues:

Energy Policy Guidance

The National Conference of State Legislators issued their long-awaited Transportation Energy Policy Guidance for NCSL members. This guidance provides legislators with a basic understanding of key attributes of technologies and policy initiatives of interest, while covering the full range of transportation fuels and technologies including clean diesel. The Diesel Technology Forum was recognized in the acknowledgements and had sponsored the Energy Policy Summit Luncheon and hosted a technology display along with the keynote speech at the 2011 NCSL Annual meeting. The recommendations for state legislators include incentives for upgrading existing diesel engines, use of biofuels, diesel-electric hybrids and more.

The Plug-In Electric Vehicle Handbook for Consumers is now available to help drivers make informed decisions about purchasing these advanced technology vehicles. The comprehensive, 16-page guide answers basic questions about PEVs, including how they operate and are charged, the benefits of owning them, how to maintain them, which type fits your needs, and much more. Available on the Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center and Clean Cities websites, this booklet the first of a series of handbooks Clean Cities is developing to educate consumers, fleet managers, public station owners, and electrical contractors about the benefits of plug-in electric vehicles as a personal, fleet, or business solution.
