/a/ Electric vehicles are battery powered and are considered dedicated.
/b/ Ethanol vehicles are flexible-fueled and are considered nondedicated; the remaining portion of 85-percent ethanol is gasoline.
/c/ Hydrogen fuel cells are considered dedicated hydrogen because hydrogen is the input fuel.
/d/ Diesel-electric hybrids are not grouped under the Electric fuel category because the input fuel is diesel rather than an alternative transportation fuel. DOE, which has EPACT92 implementation authority, ruled that diesel-electric hybrids are not "alternative fuel vehicles."
/e/ Gasoline-electric hybrids are not grouped under the Electric fuel category because the input fuel is gasoline rather than an alternative transportation fuel. DOE, which has EPACT92 implementation authority, ruled that gasoline-electric hybrids are not "alternative fuel vehicles."
Notes:
Dedicated vehicles and nonhybrid electric vehicles are designed to operate exclusively on one alternative fuel.
Nondedicated vehicles and hybrid vehicles are configured to operate on more than one fuel.
Light Duty includes vehicles less than or equal to 8,500 GVWR.
Medium Duty includes vehicles 8,501 to 26,000 GVWR.
Heavy Duty includes vehicles 26,001 and over GVWR.

Alternative Fuel and Hybrid Vehicles Made Available 2005, Survey Data (Tables S1 – S7)
These tables represent the number of onroad alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and hybrid vehicles made available by both the original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket vehicle conversion facilities for 2005 and projected for 2006. These data include gasoline-electric and diesel-electric hybrids which are published separately from electric fuel type categories because they fall outside the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT92) definition of an AFV. The Department of Energy (DOE), which has EPACT92 implementation authority, ruled that gasoline- and diesel-electric hybrids are not “alternative fuel vehicles.” The source for these data is the Form EIA-886 “Annual Survey of Alternative Fuel Vehicle Suppliers & Users.” Prior to 2005, these tables were referred to as Tables 14 – 20. Beginning in 2005, EIA has renamed these tables S1 through S7, with “S” representing supplier data. This new naming convention provides continuity and eliminates confusion between EIA’s AFV supplier and user data tables.

Weight class definitions are as follows:

  • Light Duty = 8,500 lbs or less Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
  • Medium Duty = 8,501 – 26,000 lbs GVWR
  • Heavy Duty = 26,001 lbs and over GVWR

Fuel type acronyms are as follows:

  • CNG = Compressed Natural Gas
  • EVC = Electric
  • E85 = Ethanol, 85 Percent
  • HYD = Hydrogen
  • LNG = Liquefied Natural Gas
  • LPG = Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Propane)
  • GAS = Gasoline-Electric Hybrid
  • DSL = Diesel-Electric Hybrid
