2004 N2004 N2004 National AFV Day Odyssey, ational AFV Day Odyssey, The Odyssey Continues… The Odyssey Continues…
National AFV Day Odyssey is the spark of an idea that ignited a vision for this nation—a vision of an America that protects the environment and maintains its energy independence by driving cleaner-burning, energy-efficient, advanced technology and alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs).
The inaugural Odyssey event in 2002 was a first-time effort to make an entire nation aware of AFVs and the technology that makes them a smart choice in transportation. This one-day, ground-breaking event drew crowds from California to Connecticut, with sites in 34 states nationwide.
Building on the success of the first event, the second National AFV Day Odyssey on April 2, 2004 was an extraordinary triumph that broke every record from the inaugural Odyssey event! Attendees from across the United States and Canada came to Odyssey sites that featured educational conferences, information about AFV training opportunities, and ride-and-drive demonstrations of alternative fuel vehicles and popular hybrids like the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic. The focus was educating policymakers, students, fleet managers and the general public about the benefits of AFVs, and increasing consumer awareness of the options available with advanced technology and alternative fuel vehicles.
More than 24,000 people traveled to Odyssey events throughout North America. With gasoline prices rising in the U.S., many people attended Odyssey to find out about energy-efficient AFVs that can save them money at the pump. Others came to see alternative-fueled cars, trucks and buses that are less polluting choices in transportation. And a significant number of participants attended events because they’re concerned about this nation’s dependence on foreign oil.
A desire to protect the environment—because clean air matters.The need for energy-efficient vehicles that save money at the pump. Freedom from our dependence on foreign oil—because energy independence matters.
These issues are the cause of widespread concern among Americans, and the automotive and alternative fuel vehicle
industries in the U.S. are responding by developing fuel-efficient hybrids, and by manufacturing
AFVs that are less polluting than vehicles powered by gasoline and
other petroleum byproducts. Compressed natural gas
(CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), propane, ethanol, and hydrogen are being used to power “next generation” vehicles that
are cleaner-burning and cheaper to fuel and maintain.
As a prominent partner in the alternative fuels industry, the
National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC) promotes awareness
of alternative fuel vehicles by coordinating events like National AFV Day Odyssey, and by developing curricula and offering AFV training. Headquartered at West Virginia University, the NAFTC consists of 25 National Training Centers (NTCs) located in 22 states across the U.S. These training centers are educational institutions dedicated to supporting the use of alternative fuel vehicles by providing AFV training and education to fleet managers, technicians and others who maintain and service AFVs.

On April 2, 2004, the NAFTC’s National Training Centers joined with 16 Clean Cities Coalitions, 3 American Lung Association entities, and 17 other like-minded organizations to sponsor the second National AFV Day Odyssey, which was a triumph that surpassed all expectations. Starting with a national media kick-off event at College of the Desert in Palm Desert, California, Odyssey 2004 was a stellar success!
Acclaimed actor and conservationist Dennis Weaver joined the Odyssey team as the event’s national spokesperson. Weaver spoke at the national media kick-off event in Palm Desert, and also recorded Odyssey promotional segments that aired on radio stations throughout the nation.
With Odyssey sites in 34 states across the U.S. and in 2 Canadian provinces, this year’s National AFV Day Odyssey became an international event. A total of 655 local partners, governmental agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations across North America came together to celebrate this one-day event that promotes AFVs and the clean-burning alternative fuels that power them.
Though the focus of Odyssey is now international in its scope and impact, every individual event is tailored to meet the needs and interests of consumers in its region.
On April 2, 2004, the NAFTC’s
Each site chooses formats and activities that best reflect the local characteristics of the targeted audiences, yet still meet the overall objectives of creating awareness of AFVs and promoting their widespread use.
With events taking place from Canada to Hawaii, Odyssey 2004 activities included fairs, conferences, presentations by AFV industry representatives and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), as well as speeches by local environmental and congressional representatives. Some Odyssey events featured ride-and-drive demonstrations of the latest “next-generation” alternative fuel vehicles; others focused on providing educational seminars and networking opportunities to help strengthen industry partnerships; and many more sites drew attention to local sources for AFV education and training.
No matter what the focus of the individual event, the overall message of Odyssey 2004 remained the same: AFVs and the less polluting fuels they run on can help to keep our air clean, and they can help to free us from our dependence on foreign oil.
To keep this message consistent at all sites that participated in Odyssey, the NAFTC provided a complete support plan for each site’s coordinator. These materials included a comprehensive Coordinators’ Planning Notebook, as well as banners, brochures, Odyssey bags for giveaways, pamphlets describing AFV training available at NAFTC National Training Centers in each region, and materials from partners and sponsors of AFV Day Odyssey.

The Coodinators’ Notebook was a key component in the support plan for Odyssey host sites. Other event materials provided were posters, banners, Odyssey bags for giveaways, site location maps, brochures, and materials from Odyssey partners and sponsors. Post-event materials included plaques and certificates.
Local sponsors that included community colleges and universities, automotive dealerships, media representatives, fuel providers, city and state officials, local industry representatives and interested citizens provided support to each site hosting an Odyssey event. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality was a crucial partner, supplying base funds that supported Odyssey through its Cooperative Agreement with West Virginia University on behalf of the NAFTC.
National sponsors such as the General Motors Corporation, Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc., American Honda Motor Company, Inc., the DaimlerChrysler Corporation, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories contributed vital resources that helped make this second National AFV Day Odyssey possible.
The national media kickoff event at Palm Desert, California included a speech by Odyssey national spokesman Dennis Weaver, an extensive alternative fuel vehicle display, and a wide range of educational activities and presentations.

Many Odyssey sites offered a variety of activities to attract attendees. Fairs, AFV and auto shows, and “ride and drives” comprised the majority of event formats.
The chart indicates that Odyssey participants demonstrated a significant change in attitude toward future AFV ownership. After attending local Odyssey events, more than 90% of survey respondents said they’d test-drive an AFV before purchasing their next vehicle.
Local and national television coverage of Odyssey 2004 events brought the message to 1,393,800 viewers, with outlets ranging from local news stations to a segment featured on the Fox News network.
Another 3,114,622 World Wide Web viewers saw Odyssey 2004 advertisements, press releases, feature stories (in online journals), and found Odyssey information through event calendars and links at other Web sites. The 2004 Odyssey media blitz resulted in a total of more than 24 million individuals who heard the National AFV Day Odyssey message.
Adding to the media triumph of Odyssey 2004 are site survey results which show that National AFV Day Odyssey
The 2004 National AFV Day Odyssey World Wide Web home page. http://www.NationalAFVDayOdyssey.org
is extraordinarily effective in meeting its goals—Odyssey events increase awareness of AFVs, and they successfully demonstrate to consumers that alternative fuel vehicles are a smart choice environmentally and economically.
Of the sites reporting, 91% of Odyssey survey respondents said they would test-drive an AFV before purchasing their next car. This reflects an increase of 49% over those who would have test-driven an AFV prior to Odyssey. Another 89% of those surveyed indicated a positive change in their attitude toward future ownership of an AFV.

National AFV Day Odyssey…the journey continues!
The National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium is proud of its role as the coordinator and developer of National AFV Day Odyssey. Pride in the success of the event is superceded by the knowledge that Odyssey serves a vital purpose for this nation. By creating awareness of AFVs and by demonstrating that these vehicles are part of the solution to America’s environmental and energy needs is a critical contribution to our country’s future.
The NAFTC calls on consumers, conservationists, automotive manufacturers, policymakers, fuel suppliers, industry representatives and the educational community to stand together in an effort to promote the use of AFVs. With the current rise in gasoline prices, environmental concerns about protecting natural resources and keeping our air clean, and with widespread concern over foreign oil imports, there is now a nationwide movement toward alternative fuel development and AFV use. But there is still much to be done in the effort to encourage the widespread use of these “next generation” vehicles. Alternative fuel and AFV advocates must join together to:
~ Encourage fuel suppliers to invest in a nationwide alternative fuel infrastructure
~ Urge policymakers to pass legislation for AFV tax rebates and incentives
~ Continue improving alternative fuel vehicle and hybrid technology
~ Provide AFV training and education nationwide
~ Promote the use of AFVs through outreach efforts like Odyssey
The extraordinary success of National AFV Day Odyssey 2004 has shown us that clean-burning, economical methods of transportation are in demand now as never before, and the NAFTC stands ready to provide AFV education and training, and to coordinate promotional events like Odyssey that help to broadcast the message that alternative fuel vehicles are a sound choice for the future of America.
The National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium and National AFV Day Odyssey sponsors, supporters and participants are changing the way America drives—one vehicle at a time!
Please join us as…the Odyssey continues!
