Event Highlights: The 2010 Odyssey Week: Alternative Fuels Seminar was a four-day event in South Carolina with activities in Columbia, Sumter, Rock Hill, and Greenville. It served as a venue for dialogue between industry experts, fleet managers, and the general public. Each location started with the same introductory theme – The Business Case, a session targeted toward the local business community and municipal leaders who own and operate their own fleets. Industry experts presented the primary issues of investing in alternative fuel vehicles, focusing on the operational cost savings of certain alternative fuels for specific fleets. On the closing day, Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation of Gaffney, South Carolina, unveiled the All-Electric Walk-In Van, which is replacing old delivery vehicles at companies like FedEx and UPS. Secondly, State Senator Thomas Alexander, on behalf of the Governor of South Carolina, proclaimed October 2010 Energy Awareness Month.
