Abstract
Executive Order 13149 (EO 13149) requires that federal agencies with fleets of 20 or more vehicles
reduce their petroleum use by 20 percent by the end of fiscal year 2005 relative to such use in fiscal year 1999.
Certain vehicles are exempt (e.g., tactical military vehicles and law enforcement vehicles), but many
federal agencies have large numbers of non‐exempt vehicles that are covered under the Executive Order.
We analyzed the implications of EO 13149 for one major command of the U.S. Army, the Army Test and Evaluation
Command (ATEC). The analysis consisted of two parts; establishing a fiscal year 1999 baseline
estimate of ATEC vehicle petroleum use, and drafting strategic options for meeting the goals of EO 13149. These
options included the use of alternative fuels, more fuel‐efficient vehicles, and more efficient utilization
of existing vehicles. This paper reports the results of our investigation and the principal conclusions drawn from
it, which may be applicable to other DOD and federal civilian agencies. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
