  aElectric vehicles are battery powered and are considered dedicated.
  bEthanol vehicles are flexible-fueled and are considered nondedicated; the remaining portion of 85-percent ethanol is gasoline.
  cHydrogen fuel cells are considered dedicated hydrogen because hydrogen is the input fuel.
  dDiesel-electric hybrids are not grouped under the Electric fuel category because the input fuel is diesel rather than an alternative transportation fuel. DOE, which has EPACT92 implementation authority, ruled that diesel-electric hybrids are not "alternative fuel vehicles."
  eGasoline-electric hybrids are not grouped under the Electric fuel category because the input fuel is gasoline rather than an alternative transportation fuel. DOE, which has EPACT92 implementation authority, ruled that gasoline-electric hybrids are not "alternative fuel vehicles."
  Notes: Dedicated vehicles are designed to operate exclusively on one alternative fuel. Nondedicated vehicles and hybrid vehicles are configured to operate on more than one fuel. Medium Duty includes vehicles 8,501 to 26,000 GVWR. Heavy Duty includes vehicles 26,001 and over GVWR.
