Fuel is the second largest fleet vehicle expense, so its management requires scrutiny to take every opportunity for minimizing costs and mitigating risk.

Moreover, fleet specialists must understand regional environmental issues and policies associated with fuel. The fleet professional should also know about alternative fuels, the emerging changes in technologies and local government acts or regulations associated with them.

This discipline’s competencies deal with both conventional and alternative fuels in centralized and decentralized operations.

This course will cover the Vehicle Fuel Management competencies including:

• Environmental Issues
• Commercial Programs
• Conventional Fuels
• Alternative Fuels

Through three live virtual sessions, participants will demonstrate the varying strategies of dealing with vehicle fuel management by focusing on fuel types, delivery systems, regulation on storage tanks, alternative fuel technology and sustainability. Learners will engage in instructor-led lessons, questions and answers sessions, and have access to a knowledgeable expert. Upon conclusion of the four-part course, participants will gain access to the Vehicle Fuel Management Certificate program exam, a 50-question multiple-choice test that can be taken anytime, anywhere (system requirements apply). Those who successfully pass the exam (one year from date of purchase) will be awarded a professional certificate.

Course inclusions: NAFA’s Vehicle Fuel Management e-Guidebook, Vehicle Fuel Management Study Guide, (3) 2-hour live sessions, (1) Online Vehicle Fuel Management Certificate exam, and a Professional Certificate – upon successfully passing of exam (optional).
