Minimum Driving Range for Dual Fueled Electric Passenger Automobiles
This document announces that NHTSA is considering the proposal of a minimum driving range for dual fueled electric passenger automobiles, otherwise known as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The purpose of establishing the range is to encourage the production of HEVs. An HEV which meets the range would qualify to have its fuel economy calculated according to a special procedure that would facilitate the efforts of its manufacturer to comply with the corporate average fuel economy standards. Comments are requested to assist the agency in developing the proposed range.
