Congress
Considers AFV Incentive Legislation (HR4)
During the upcoming
conference deliberations, differences between the House and Senate
versions of the Energy bill will be addressed. Both the House and
Senate Energy Bills contain consumer tax incentives that will assist
transportation markets. All major vehicle manufacturers have introduced,
or plan to introduce, new technology and alternative fuel vehicles
into the marketplace. Consumer based tax credits will encourage
consumers to purchase these advanced technology vehicles during
early market introduction and establish a basis for sustainable
and cost-competitive volumes in the future. New advanced technology
vehicles (encompassing alternative fuels, battery electrics, hybrids
and fuel cells) offer tremendous promise in addressing national
energy security, energy diversity and environmental goals. For more
