The Natural Gas Vehicle Institute (NGVi) announced that it is launching the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute (AFVi). As an expansion of the scope of NGVi, AFVi will offer training courses to drivers, vehicle technicians, and fueling station personnel involved with light-, medium-, and heavy-duty fleets that operate not only natural gas, but also hydrogen, LPG, and electric vehicles.
“While we’ve spent the better part of 30 years specializing in natural gas vehicle and fueling training, we recognize that many fleets are embracing other fuels in an effort to diversify. We’re ready to transition from an ASE-accredited training organization with subject matter expertise solely in natural gas to a world-class training organization in all alternative fuels,” said Annalloyd Thomason, NGVi’s vice president and general manager.
“Having known about our expertise in natural gas vehicle training, many of our customers have asked us whether we plan to offer training on hydrogen, electric, and LPG vehicles. As a result, we’re currently in the development process for driver, technician, and fleet management training content for virtually every alternative fuel. We don’t take this responsibility lightly, and we will dedicate the time and effort to ensure that our new courses are up to the standard that others expect,” she commented.
“We’re sharing this now so that people know it’s coming, and we can connect with companies that are interested to learn more,” Thomason concluded.
