The U.S. Energy Department said Thursday it was working "quite aggressively" on requests from General Motors and Chrysler for some $16.7 billion in loans to retool factories for more efficient vehicles.

Both automakers had applied for loans from a $25-billion program set up in 2008, but were blocked from receiving them because of their bankruptcies and laws requiring companies that get the loans prove financial viability. So far, the Energy Department has only awarded $8.3 billion from the program to Ford, Nissan, Tesla, Fisker and Tenneco.
