Hybrid Electric Vehicle Testing Results Released

This summer the Department of Energy completed one million miles of fleet testing of 18 hybrid electric vehicles. The Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity is a program managed by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The vehicles tested include the Honda Civic and Insight, and the Toyota Prius. The cars’ fuel efficiencies range from 38 to 46 miles per gallon. This testing was done so the public could make better decisions when buying advanced technology cars.
