LAS
VEGAS, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alternative
Fuel Vehicle Institute (AFVi) is thrilled to announce its new
hydrogen training course at ACT Expo. "Level 1: Hydrogen Vehicle
Essentials and Safety Practices" focuses on safety requirements,
procedures, and best practices for vehicle technicians who work on
or around hydrogen fuel systems that power both fuel cells and
engines.
"We've been asked before — several times, in fact — by some of
our current customers about whether we offer hydrogen training, or
would ever offer it," noted Annalloyd Thomason, AFVi's chief
executive officer. "While we've known the demand has been there, we
wanted to make sure that kind of training could meet the same
stringent requirements that we've always held for our natural gas
vehicle courses. We're very happy to report that is now the
case."
Hydrogen remains a powerful contender in the alternative fuels
industry, and AFVi has dedicated itself to sharing the knowledge
and skills with fleet managers and their technicians on how to
safely maintain these vehicles.
While attendees at ACT Expo were given an exclusive sneak peek
into this new training, Thomason was quick to point out that its
information is shared on her company's website. It's also available
in three delivery modes: live in-person, live online, and on-demand
e-learning. The initial live-online course is scheduled for
June 13 and currently open for
registration.
"Don't think that this is all there is to hydrogen training,"
Thomason added. "Level 2 training for hydrogen fuel system
inspectors is currently in development, as well as a certification
program for technicians who want to pursue that path. We have a lot
more coming."
For those attending ACT Expo's remaining days at the
Las Vegas Convention Center
between now and May 23, the AFVi team
hopes to see them at Booth #3401 to talk about vehicle training,
and to explore opportunities to collaborate. Those who cannot
attend but who are interested in more information are encouraged to
contact AFVi through their website at AFVi.com, or by phone
at 800-510-6484.
