The American Fleet Leadership Coalition, a newly formed group of leading U.S. businesses that are currently benefitting from electric vehicles, announced its launch. The coalition is dedicated to urging the 119th Congress to preserve the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act’s 45W Tax Credit – commonly known as the Commercial Clean Vehicle Tax Credit. 45W plays a critical role in supporting the expansion of domestic manufacturing by spurring demand for light, medium, and heavy-duty electric vehicles that save businesses money, create jobs and improve reliability and safety for drivers. 

“The Commercial Clean Vehicle Tax Credit has already lowered costs and improved vehicle reliability for U.S. businesses while advancing America’s energy independence and the economic competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers and suppliers,” said Josh Green, founder of the American Fleet Leadership Coalition and CEO of Inspiration Mobility Group. “Repealing 45W, or enacting barriers that render it inaccessible, would slow the domestic economic growth of an important industry poised for massive global expansion, put U.S. manufacturing jobs at risk and increase costs for companies, local governments, religious, educational and non-profit organizations that rely on fleets.”
