Fleet vehicles are groups of motor vehicles owned or leased by a business or government agency, rather than by an individual or family. Typical examples are vehicles operated by car rental companies, taxicab companies, public utilities, public bus companies, and police departments. In addition, many businesses purchase or lease fleet vehicles to deliver goods to customers, or for sales representatives to travel to clients.

On October 5, 2009, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13514 on Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance to accelerate Federal agencies' efforts.[1] For the government's 600,000 vehicle fleet, it requires a 30% reduction in petroleum use by 2020, and for agencies with 20 or more vehicles to reduce petroleum use by 2% annually through 2020. In coordination with the General Services Administration, the United States Department of Energy will develop within six months guidance for fleet managers on alternative fuel vehicles and fuels.[2]
