Motor vehicle fleet program and refueling characteristics and capabilities for the light-duty market sector among governmental and utility fleets are investigated. A profile of the characteristics of those fleets is developed to enable better analysis of the market potential for natural gas. The study, based on the mail survey which used lists supplied by Automotive Fleet magazine and Gas Research Institute, found that federal, state, and local governments, along with fuel providers, will be among the first fleet markets affected by recent legislation. These market segments exhibit characteristics favorable to conversion to alternative fuel: existing maintenance facilities, current central refueling capability, and longer fleet retention times. Though most of the survey respondents were aware of the upcoming legislative requirements, less than half had a conversion plan in place. Appendixes to the report contain the questionnaire, figures, and a list of the respondents distribution by state.
