Opportunity DE-PS26-09NT01236-02: Area of Interest 2 (DE-PS26-09NT01236-02): Incremental Cost of Dedicated Alternative Fuel Vehicles Under this Area of Interest, applications are being sought for projects to decrease the nations dependence on petroleum by expanding the use of dedicated AFVs. These funds can be used to help reduce the incremental cost for the purchase of new OEM AFVs or the retrofit/conversion/repower of new and/or used conventional vehicles (i.e., vehicles originally designed to operate using diesel or gasoline) to run on authorized alternative fuels. Only on-road, highway-certified vehicles that operate exclusively on alternative fuels will be considered for funding under this area of interest. DOE has particular interest in funding medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and school buses as well as light-duty vehicles used in high fuel-use fleet applications. Vehicles with hybrid-electric or hydraulic-hybrid drive systems that are powered exclusively by alternative fuels are also of interest. Vehicle retrofits/conversion systems must be certified/approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in order to be eligible for funding in this category. 50% cost share is required for Area of Interest 2
