  bBeginning in 2004, diesel-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."
