Natural Gas Delivers Forum to Be Held in Long Beach

Las Vegas, NV-The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute (AFVI) and Clean Energy Fuels are hosting a forum for truck fleets to be held January 24, 2007, in Long Beach, CA. Natural Gas Delivers is designed to provide a straightforward explanation of the fuel, the vehicles, and how to save money and control costs using natural gas.

"Consumer demand for products produced in Asia is growing dramatically, resulting in increased demand for truck delivery services," said Annalloyd Thomason, Executive Director of AFVi. "The resulting pollution from trucking industry growth overall, has more fleets of all types switching to natural gas for the significant cost savings and emissions benefits over diesel fuel."

Natural Gas Delivers is designed to give decision-makers the information they need to incorporate natural gas into their fleets. The forum includes:

* Comprehensive information on natural gas, vehicles, and infrastructure

* Experts on government and private funding for fleets

* Existing regulatory requirements

* Continental breakfast and lunch

Complimentary registration is available to fleets that register for the 13th National Alternative Fuel & Vehicle Conference + Expo, April 1-4, 2007. Otherwise, the registration fee is $149. Additional information and registration is available for both at www.afvi.org.
