The National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) is a pioneer and a national leader in promoting programs and activities that desire to cure America’s addiction to oil and lead to energy independence and the greater use of cleaner transportation. The NAFTC is the only nationwide alternative fuel vehicle and advanced technology vehicle training organization in the United States!

The NAFTC offers training in the form of classes and workshops on a wide array of topics such as biodiesel, ethanol, hybrids, hydrogen, fuel cells, natural gas (CNG cylinder inspection, LNG, and light- and heavy-duty vehicles), battery-powered electric vehicles, and propane. Courses on transient emissions testing and AFV applications for forklift and material handling are also available. Previous audiences have included automotive technicians, employers, fleet operators, training institutions, public interest groups, and private entrepreneurs.

Founded in 1992, the NAFTC is headquartered at West Virginia University and presently consists of 29 National Training Centers spanning the country from New York to California. Each center provides Training with Impact through its experienced instructors and real-world shop facilities. Approximately 70 Affiliate and Associate members also support the NAFTC’s mission to provide the training infrastructure for implementing the widespread use of alternative fuels, alternative fuel vehicles, and advanced technology vehicles. The Consortium’s effort to increase our nation’s energy security, as well as improve our air quality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, is embodied in its motto "Because Clean Air and Energy Independence Matter."
