The number of light- and medium-duty vehicles powered by alternative fuels is growing everyyear. Mandates such as the federal Energy Policy Act and the California Federal Pilot Programrequire most large fleets to include alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in ever-growing numbers.All of this means that the demand for AFV technicians is increasing dramatically. The AFVtechnician needs to know everything that is currently applicable to light- and medium-dutyvehicles, along with new technology to deal with the gaseous fuel system, engine, electronics,and exhaust.
For an experienced automotive technician, the greatest challenges when working with AFVsinclude the concepts of working with fuels such as natural gas and propane, emission-controlequipment, electronic ignition, and safety.
Each chapter of the Technician’s Manual contains text, illustrations, explanatory figures andtables, chapter review questions, and job aids, along with classroom and/or shop activities.Each corresponding chapter of the Instructor’s Manual contains everything in the Technician’sManual, as well as a detailed daily agenda, teaching suggestions, group discussion topics,chapter review questions with answers, PowerPoint slides, and animated presentations.The National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) is pleased to offer this new course,Light-Duty Natural Gas Vehicles, which meets the needs of the technician, the employer, thefleet operator, and the training institution.

Alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles are becoming more readily available to consumers and fleets. They can run on biodiesel, ethanol, natural gas, propane, and hydrogen. In addition, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery, and fuel cell electric vehicles are becoming more widely used. To enable the transition to alternative fuels, technologies must be refined so that vehicles can achieve optimum performance and emissions characteristics. Automotive technicians and those who teach automotive technology courses must know how to service and maintain these vehicles. New infrastructure must be developed and supported. First responders must become aware of the differences between these next generation vehicles and their conventional counterparts in order to keep themselves, drivers, and passengers safe on the scene of a vehicle accident.
