This department is seeking feedback through a Request for Information on the obstacles hindering the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and advanced vehicles. The aim is to gather input from stakeholders to potentially issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement in the future. By addressing the challenges related to higher initial costs and complexities in marketing and supplying these vehicles, the department hopes to facilitate larger purchases that could result in cost savings for manufacturers and consumers. Respondents are required to submit their feedback by attaching a document in Microsoft Word format to the provided email address before the deadline on March 13, 2015.

| Description: | Alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and other advanced vehicles offer a number of important benefits, such as fuel diversification for energy security, environmental benefits, and potential cost savings over the life of the vehicle. However, AFVs higher initial costs compared to conventional vehicles are a deployment barrier. Higher AFV and advanced technology vehicle prices can be attributed not only to manufacturers spreading costs over fewer vehicles, but also to the complexities of marketing and supplying vehicles to meet diverse local requirements and fleet needs. If vehicle fleets or consumers could purchase vehicles in larger quantities, or participate in aggregate purchasing initiatives, manufacturers and consumers could benefit from assured sales, as well as from reduced vehicle costs and lower resulting prices. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI)is to gather feedback from stakeholders prior to DOE potentially issuing a Funding Op portunity Announcement (FOA). This RFI is not a FOA; therefore, DOE is not accepting applications at this time. All responses to this RFI must be provided as an attachment (in Microsoft Word format) to an email message addressed to DE-FOA-0001237@netl.doe.gov. Responses must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. (ET) on March 13, 2015. The full content of the announcement can be found on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov. |
