March 2001, Diamond Bar, California
NREL hosted a meeting for members of the NGNGV Working Group on March 12-13 in Diamond Bar, Calif. The Working Group focused on coordinating Phase I of the program, which includes assessing available information on engine and vehicle technology and developing a detailed strategy for vehicle and emission control.
The Working Group also made suggestions for modifications to the request for proposals (RFP) for Phase I of the program. The RFP requests qualified subcontractors to assess technologies and methods for controlling emissions from natural gas engines and to develop preliminary designs and market introduction strategies for a medium-duty, compressed natural gas vehicle and a heavy-duty, liquefied natural gas vehicle.
NREL's RFP and amendment are now available on NREL's Contracts and Business Services Web site. For details, refer to RFP No. RCI-1-31070, entitled Engine Aftertreatment/Emissions Control Design for the Next Generation Natural Gas Vehicle. The amendment consists of two documents: amendment #1 and a revised statement of work, dated March 21, 2001. Please note that the proposal due date has been extended to April 24, 2001.
 Organizations that participated in the meeting included the California Energy Commission; the California Air Resources Board; the South Coast Air Quality Management District; DOE and its national labs; various natural gas fuel providers; light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers; and engine manufacturers.
