Summary To comply with national energy conservation and carbon reduction policies, efforts to effectively reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions on highways and promote the development of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) are essential. The present study collected, reviewed, and analyzed strategies and methods adopted by the transportation sectors of numerous countries. Subsequent findings were then used as a basis for the development of incentive programs and supportive practices to promote the development of AFVs in Taiwan.

　　The present study designed 19 preliminary promotional projects that encompassed implementation plans and supportive measures based on the strategic dimensions of “economic incentive,” “traffic control,” “transportation sector management,” “vehicle supervision,” and “infrastructure and supportive facilities” proposed in 2 relevant studies, namely, the “Planning of Strategies and Measures of Promoting Alternative Fuel Vehicles by the Transportation Sector” published in 2011 and the “Study on the Specific Practices and Supportive Measures of Promoting Alternative Fuel Vehicles by the Transportation Sector” published in 2012.

　　In the context of the low AFV acceptance from the general public and the slow review of the iEV Pilot Run Program by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the processes and strategies employed by the Ministry of Transportation to promote AFVs should be adjusted until sound infrastructures are established. In the present study, we examined the strategic tools available to the Ministry of Transportation and investigated the vehicle management strategies used by the transportation sector in response to the future promotion of AFVs. In addition, we developed and proposed numerous suggestions relating to vehicle management database, safety research, human resource training, supervisory mechanisms, regulatory reviews, and information interfacing based on the dimensions of vehicle supervision, traffic control, and information services. Finally, the findings of the study can serve as a reference for the promotional and implementation activities of the transportation sector.
