National Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Day Odyssey is a biennial, outreach and education event dedicated to promoting the use of AFVs and advanced technology vehicles. Odyssey is comprised of numerous green transportation related events, coordinated and hosted by NAFTC members, Clean Cities Coalitions, and others who believe in cleaner, more energy-efficient forms of transportation. These local events take place on a designated date every other year throughout the U.S. Visit the Host section to learn how you can host an Odyssey event in your area.

Each local event site offers unique activities designed to educate attendees about cleaner transportation technologies and is tailored to the specific needs of the site’s given audience. Activities include:

  • ride-and-drives
  • vehicle displays
  • workshops
  • demonstrations
  • panel discussions
  • trivia contests
  • automotive lab tours
  • EcoCar garage tours, and more

Additionally, industry experts are often on hand at Odyssey events to answer questions, and educational seminars are frequently featured to provide detailed information about viable alternative fuel options and how they apply to the audiences’ local communities.
