House Scheduled to Vote on Heavy Duty Hybrid Bill
Quote:
On Wednesday, Sept. 9, the U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on H.R. 445, the Heavy Duty Hybrid Research, Development and Demonstration Act.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner (D-Wis.), would direct the Secretary of Energy to establish a competitive research, development, demonstration, and commercial application program to provide between three and seven grants of up to $3 million per year each to applicants to carry out projects to advance research and development and to demonstrate technologies, including plug-in hybrid technology, for advanced heavy duty hybrid vehicles.
The bill also requires that each grant recipient complete two phases: (1) phase one, research and demonstration of advanced hybrid technology by producing or retrofitting one or more advanced heavy duty hybrid vehicles; and (2) phase two, demonstration of advanced manufacturing processes and technologies by producing or retrofitting 50 advanced heavy duty hybrid vehicles.
