Thanks to a $1.6 million grant from the Department of Energy, the Propane Education & Research Council and other members of the Alternative Fuels Trade Alliance have been touring the country since last year, educating fleet managers and other industry leaders on alternative fuels including autogas.
“This is the year to go green for American fleet managers. By bringing together four alternative fuel industries, we can train fleet managers on available options and how alternative fuels can meet their needs,” says Brian Feehan, vice president of PERC.
A great feature of the workshops is the chance for fleet managers to actually drive the alternative-fueled vehicles. Through such “Ride and Drive” events, fleet managers can see how driving an alternative vehicle isn’t such a mystical experience after all.
The next workshop is scheduled for this Thursday, January 20th in Seattle, Wash. To find out when future workshops are scheduled, bookmark this page for future reference.
