Energy Department's Clean Cities Plan Delivers an RFI for Alternative Fuel and Advanced Vehicle Purchasing

The Energy Department's Clean Cities plan released a Request for Information (RFI) on February 25, 2015 to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to purchasing and procurement processes for alternative fuel vehicle, advanced vehicle orders, and vehicle subsystems.

The RFI will gather information regarding effective purchasing and procurement processes designed to coordinate and consolidate bulk alternative fuel vehicle and advanced vehicle orders to reduce per-unit prices of commercially-available vehicles. It is anticipated that the aggregated process will enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers to increase production volumes, achieve economies of scale, and reduce incremental vehicle costs specific to electric drive, natural gas, propane, hybrid, and other alternative fuel vehicles and advanced vehicle technologies.

For more information, see the full request for information.
