Questions on financing, safety, maintenance and fuel considerations of clean vehicle conversions will be answered by government fleet managers and private sector fleets, along with vehicle manufacturers and utilities who can will highlight their continued success with transitioning fleets, based on need and use.
After Gainesville, the tour will move to Cartersville, Albany, Atlanta, Decatur, St. Simons Island, Valdosta, and Savannah where it will coincide with the Georgia Municipal Association's annual convention.
Each alternative fuel vehicle event begins with a showcase of CNG trucks, propane vans and shuttles and electric vehicles for test drives, followed by a two-hour seminar and panel discussions with fleet managers and vehicle conversion experts. Most events will last from 9:00-12:00.
