The session will discuss best applications for plug-in electric vehicle technology and gaseous fuel vehicles, including CNG and propane. It will also cover evaluation options and planning procurement initiatives, best practices for solicitation development, technical considerations for deployment, and fleet transition planning. Eligible vehicles include heavy, medium, and light-duty vehicles. Eligible fleets include of federal, state, and local government, public school districts and universities, public utilities, and non-profits.
