About Odyssey

2004 National AFV Day Odyssey was motivated by America's continued reliance on foreign oil for transportation fuel. Odyssey's goal was to build awareness of and enthusiasm for alternative fuel vehicles (AFV's) and advanced technology vehicles which offer consumers cleaner, more energy efficient transportation choices.

The West Virginia celebration, hosted by the WVU National Research Center for Coal & Energy, joined about 50 cities across the country that signed on to celebrate cleaner, more energy efficient cars, trucks, and buses.

The 2004 Odyssey was held in response to overwhelmingly positive response from those who attended the event in 2002. That first Odyssey, held in April 2002 in 51 U.S. cities, attracted nearly 17,000 visitors. The event clearly showed American drivers are interested in alternatives. Auto consumers were able to:

  • learn about coming trends,
  • see the options,
  • meet the AFV technology leaders in their community, and
  • explore ownership opportunities.

The 2004 event was every bit as exciting.

The 2004 National AFV Day Odyssey was developed and coordinated by the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium, a program of the West Virginia University National Research Center for Coal & Energy (WVU NRCCE).
