                for use in carrying or towing loads or materials for 
                commercial or industrial purposes, whether or not on

                preceding sentence shall not include any vehicle 
                operated exclusively on a rail or rails and any vehicle

                        50 percent based on the lower heating value of 
                        the fuel, or
                            ``(ii) $4,000 if such vehicle's fuel cell 
                        system achieves an electricity generation 
                        efficiency of at least 50 percent based on the

                    ``(C) Certain standards not to apply.--Subsection 
                (h)(10) shall not apply to a vehicle which is a motor 
                vehicle solely by reason of subparagraph (A).''.
