the regulations encourage manufacturers with fleets that applying advanced technologies such as hybridization and consist primarily of small passenger cars to continue to electrification in the 2012-2016 timeframe, and applying reduce the fuel consumption of even the smallest ehicles; v off-cycle technologies such as active aerodynamics, whose (2) the footprint standard discourages manuacturers from f efficiency benefits are not captured by the test cycles.

tive fuel, such as battery electric vehicles or vehicles that run solely on compressed natural gas, also receive incentives for petroleum and GHG emissions reductions. Under the CAFE Other Vehicle Regulations program, such vehicles are given a "petroleum equivalence There are other categories of vehicle regulations that will factor," which increases the compliance fuel economy.
