Aptera Motors, Elio Motors and other companies developing fuel-efficient three-wheeled vehicles got a boost from Congress this week in their quest for federal funding.Legislation to make three-wheeled vehicles eligible for Energy Department loans passed a conference committee of House and Senate leaders Wednesday and then got approval from the full House on Thursday.
It is part of an energy spending bill likely to go before the Senate by next week for final congressional passage, a Senate aide said for Autonews.“Obsolete bureaucratic definitions should not create roadblocks and stifle innovation,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who co-sponsored the legislation.If the Senate passes the bill, it would have to be signed by President Barack Obama to become law.
