Are You Alt Fuels Experienced?

To paraphrase Jimi Hendrix, "Were you Alt Fuels Experienced?"

Taking advantage of two opportunities to go to the GE Vehicle Innovation Center in Eden Prairie, registered attendees got to experience first-hand some of the bold technologies that are changing what and how we drive.

 This event was co-sponsored by GE and the Twin Cities Clean Cities Coalition. Two shifts, 1:30 and 3:30, took a brief ride from the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis to the facility. What occurred was an educational eye-opener for anyone considering alternative fuel vehicles for themselves or their fleets.

Starting with an informative presentation from Tesla Motors' Jeff Evanson, Vice President of investor Relations, attendees got a taste of the new technologies that are bringing sustainability solutions to fleets all over North America.

Afterward, attendees took to the track and took what was, for many, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to drive not just one alt fuel vehicle, not just two, but an entire array of formats -- from hybrid and CNG to autogas (propane) and electric.

Thanks to all the vehicle providers and to the beautiful spring weather, the Alt Fuels Experience turned out to be a fantastic start to the I&E. The best is yet to come!
