What is an AFV?

There are three primary AFV fuel system configurations:

1. Dedicated AFVs – have one fuel system operating exclusively only on the alternative fuel, such as compressed natural gas (CNG) or electric. These are used most often by centrally-fueled vehicles.

2. Bi-Fuel AFVs – have two separate fuel systems; one dedicated to an alternative fuel (such as CNG or LPG) and one for gasoline.

3. Flex-Fuel AFVs (E85) – most common for both government and commercial use, and can operate on either the alternative fuel, gasoline, or any combination of the two up to 85% of the alternative fuel.

4. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) – operate on a combination of fuel and electrical systems.

5. Electric Vehicles – operating exclusively on rechargeable electrical systems.
