Green Business Series - Alternative Fuel Vehicles - Moving into the Mainstream
Did you know the first car built by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was an electric car or that his second car was a hybrid? Did you know Rudolph Diesel initially ran the engines named for him on peanut oil? Or that Henry Ford's assembly line and Model-T made gasoline the standard fuel for cars?
After a century of the gasoline standard, vehicle makers are getting creative with fuels. Alternative Fuel Vehicles are moving into the mainstream. Almost every automaker now offers at least one vehicle powered by something other than gasoline, and many more models and styles are on the way.
The Loudoun Dulles Green Business Challenge is pleased to help you learn about this important change and what it could mean for your business.
Get an insider's perspective on the alternative fuel vehicles available today and the vehicles coming in the future from Rich Dampman of Enterprise (Rent-A-Car). His work with Enterprise gives him firsthand experience across manufacturers and types of vehicles as well as a seat at the table when new vehicles are being designed and offered.
Get an up-close and personal look at some of the vehicles that are currently available thanks to Ford Motor Company, Ted Britt Chevrolet, Tesla Tysons Corner, and VW and AutoNation of Leesburg Toyota.
Learn about the growing trend toward using Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Biomethane (Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)) to fuel vehicle fleets from Jim Norris of Clean Energy Fuels, the largest provider of natural gas fuel in North America.
Another alternative for getting around is public transportation. Thanks to Metro opening to Reston this summer, it is a growing option in our area. Hear about the changes from Judy Galen, Loudoun County Commuter Services.
