What happens if my fleet ordered AFVs early in the model year but, through no fault of the fleet, did not receive the vehicles before the model year ended?
A. If a covered fleet ordered an AFV sufficiently early in a model year such that there was a reasonable expectation that delivery would occur before the end of the model year (i.e., Aug. 31)—and the delayed delivery was due to factors beyond the fleet’s control—the fleet may include the AFV in its annual LDV count and in satisfaction of its AFV-acquisition requirement either in the model year in which the vehicle was ordered or in the model year in which the fleet actually acquired (i.e., took possession or control of) the vehicle. In other words, the fleet may choose in which of the two model years to count the vehicle’s acquisition. For assistance with such an instance, please contact the Regulatory Information Line (202-586-9171, regulatory.info@nrel.gov).
