We have added tickets for this year’s conference tours on the eventbrite page.
The first tour will be on the morning of Tuesday, September 24th. At 9:30 AM, we will be visiting CARTA’s facility as they walk us through a tour of the latest electric buses that have been added to the fleet, show off their impressive new wireless charging technology, and show their maintenance and charging infrastructure. Then at 10:30, we will be going over to UPS’ facility where we will check out CNG-powered class-8 trucks and a CNG-powered “yard dog,” learn the details behind their refueling and infrastructure (which includes both time-fill and fast-fill), and get your questions answered about how your fleet can save money and reduce emissions by choosing CNG, too. In addition, we will see their maintenance area where they maintain CNG vehicles. Last but not least, they will talk about their plans to use Renewable Natural Gas.
The second tour will be Wednesday, September 25th at 4:45 PM. Join us after Wednesday’s session for a tour of the Norfolk Southern locomotive at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga and learn more about emission reduction strategies for locomotives. Closed toe shoes will be required for this tour. Folks wearing sandals or other open shoes will not be allowed onto the yard or onto the locomotive. In addition, attendees will be required to wear jeans or slacks for the tour.
