The U.S. Department of Energy has introduced a fleet eTraining course to help fleet drivers and managers learn about flex-fuel vehicles, fueling, and how to locate alternative-fuel stations.
Highlights include data from 2011, including a 13-percent increase in overall consumption of alternative transportation fuels, a 52-percent jump in E-85 consumption, and a boost in biodiesel use.
