13th Alternative Fuels & Vehicles National Conference + Expo 2007

Planning Underway for the Largest AFV Conference in North America

 

Las Vegas, NV-September 14, 2006 The Alternative Fuels & Vehicles Conference
+ Expo will be held in Anaheim, California, from April 1-4, 2007.  The
national conference, presented by the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute
(AFVI), is the only event held in North America that attracts over 1500 key
experts and end users to accelerate the commercial adoption of alternative
fuels, vehicles, and advanced transportation technologies. It will be held
at the Anaheim Marriott and Convention Center.

 

"Tracking developments in the ever-changing alternative fuels marketplace is
becoming a monumental task and an ever more crucial one for fleet
professionals," said Will Kleindienst, Conference Chairman. "With mounting
concerns about fuel prices and global increased demand for oil, alternatives
- including compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, liquid petroleum
natural gas, ethanol, biodiesel, propane, and electricity - are increasingly
becoming a logical choice for fleets around the world."

 

Early sponsors include Alternative Fuel Vehicle Solutions, Clean Energy
Fuels, Daimler Chrysler, General Motors, and the National Biodiesel Board.
The conference is supported by alternative fuels industry representatives
and the U.S. Department of Energy Clean Cities program.
