Continuation of a newly developed autogas technician training program, “Propane Autogas Vehicle Technician Training,” will be conducted in Albany, Oregon at the Linn-Benton Community College. The training session, June 14-16, is free, but space is limited and reservations are requested
The training is one in a series of free Propane Autogas Vehicle Technician Training courses conducted by the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) and the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC). The training courses have been offered at locations throughout the United States including Oklahoma City, Okl., and most recently in Asheville, NC, at the Alliance AutoGas Research & Technology Facility. Alliance AutoGas is the propane autogas division of Blossman Gas and assists fleets with the shift from gasoline to autogas and offers both bi-fuel and propane dedicated conversions.
Automotive technicians participating in the three-day, entry-level propane autogas training course will obtain an in-depth understanding of the servicing and maintenance requirements that are required to service propane autogas vehicles.
Rising concerns about the effects of greenhouse gases, combined with the higher cost of gasoline when compared to alternative fuels, are helping alternative fuel vehicles to become more common on our nation’s roadways. With nearly 200,000 propane autogas vehicles in use today in the U.S., propane autogas technicians to service these vehicles are in high demand, with more growth projected for the coming years.
