AAPEX Mobility Garage Training To Focus On Electric Cars, AFVs, Shop Equipment And Technology

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with exhibiting companies showcasing their newest and soon-to-be released products in Mobility Garage.

To show that a Toyota Prius can run as a propane-electric hybrid, the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) and ICOM North America adapted a vehicle to run in this manner. In this photo, NAFTC’s Mark Kemp shows the propane fuel rail on the modified Prius to attendees of last year’s Mobility Garage.

AAPEX 2019 Mobility Garage: Products and Training for Tomorrow will feature hands-on training and demos to prepare technicians and shop owners for the next generation of electric cars and alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), as well as the latest shop equipment and technology. Attendees also will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with exhibiting companies showcasing their newest and soon-to-be released products in Mobility Garage.
