New Hybrid Training Exhibited at EDTA Conference

The NAFTC exhibited at the 2008 EDTA Conference & Expo, where industry experts addressed all aspects of battery, hybrid, plug-in, and fuel cell electric-drive vehicles, components, and infrastructure. Offering more than 20 courses and workshops on all facets of alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicle training, the NAFTC took this opportunity to showcase its new Hybrid and Electric Vehicle (HEV) Propulsion Systems curricula and training.

The Conference, Powering Sustainable Transportation, was held December 2-4 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. With hundreds of electric drive technology vehicles and components on display, attendees had the opportunity to see and learn about all of the new advancements in electric drive technology. Attendees were also given the chance to drive a diverse line of battery, hybrid, plug-in, and fuel cell electric drive cars, vans, trucks, low-speed vehicles, and more during a ride-and-drive event in the heart of the nation's capital.
