National AFVI Conference Website is Live

“The recent sudden rise in the price of gasoline, following gradual increases during the past several years, all over the world, together with the enormous number of automobiles, commercial cars, and other users of this fuel, has called attention again to the fuel question in a marked manner.” September 18, 1912, Horseless Age

Ninety-four years later gas prices are high, the electric vehicle market is still promising, and Ford Motor Company continues to reinvent itself. What’s different is we don’t need horses or even vehicles to let thousands of people know instantly about the Alternative Fuels & Vehicles National Conference + Expo 2007.

The 13th annual conference is in Anaheim, California, from April 1-4, 2007. Presented by the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute (AFVI), this is the only event 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 takes place at the Anaheim Marriott and Convention Center.

The program emphasis is on alternative fuels, alternative fuel vehicles and advanced transportation technologies, vehicle emissions, and policy.

The Expanded Expo includes auto manufacturers, technology developers, heavy-duty and bus manufacturers, engine manufacturers, component suppliers and developers, fuel suppliers, government agencies, universities, as well as environmental and industry associations.
