The G.A.O. evaluated the Department of the Army's progress toward achieving the goals of the Department of Defense's (DOD) methanol vehicle demonstration program. The Army initiated the program in February 1985, in response to White House and congressional interest, to establish the feasibility of using methanol as an alternative fuel for government vehicles. Army efforts to accomplish the goals established in the authorizing legislation were reviewed. These were to (1) procure new methanol vehicles, (2) establish the reliability and durability of such vehicles in laboratory and fleet tests, (3) test some of them in cold weather, and (4) resolve related support functions for the safe and efficient storage, distribution, and use of methanol fuel.
