The Latest On Alternative Fuel Vehicles: Catalyzing the Next Revolution in Ground Transportation?

The Chicago Clean Energy Alliance and Baker & McKenzie, LLP are excited to bring together a group of experts to explore the growing use of alternative fuels for vehicles. Following the Obama Administration's finalizing of the vehicle standards that will increase fuel economy to the equivalent of 54.5 mpg for cars and light-duty trucks, now is the time to discuss whether the industry can achieve these standards in an economically viable way and what impacts they will have on you or your business.

The panel will explore the key issues with deploying and expanding alternative fuel vehicles for fleets and personal life. They will also look at the pro and cons and what's on the horizon for the different fueling platforms, such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas, and propane.
