Portland, OR · April 11th - 12th, 2017

The UPAS Group, Icom North America and Green Bridge Technologies would like to welcome everyone attending the 2017 Green Transportation Summit & Expo. It’s an exciting time for the alternative fuels industry, as we continue to not only promote our industry, but to also educate transportation-sector leaders about what alternative fuels can do for them today. Our industry has grown rapidly over the years, with new, innovative ways to lower emissions and reduce our carbon footprint.

Brian Trice from Linn Benton Community College and his team have done an excel-lent job with all the events that they have organized, with each unique in its own way. United Propane AutoGas Solutions Group (UPAS Group) is truly honored to have the opportunity to be a presenting sponsor of such an event. UPAS Group works hard every day to educate and connect fleets with a one-stop shop to utilize propane auto-gas as a fuel source.

I’d like to thank each of you for attending the conference and bringing your expertise to our gathering. You, as organization leaders, have the vision, knowledge and experi-ence to help us pave our way into the future. You are truly our greatest asset today and tomorrow, and we could not accomplish what we do without your support and leadership.

Throughout this conference, I ask that you stay engaged, keep us proactive and help us shape the future of alternative fuels to continue our journey for a better tomorrow.

We look forward to a great show and feedback from everyone!!

Albert VenezioPresidentIcom North America

Bringing Out the Best: Biodiesel & Renewable Hydrocarbon Diesel

It seems weekly there is a new announcement of a government fleet or trucking firm considering switching to renewable hydrocarbon diesel (RHD). With RHD’s ability to meet alternative fuel goals with no infrastructure changes, it is an attractive alternative to petroleum diesel. But, demand has quickly outpaced supply. What many people may have forgotten is that biodiesel blends are readily available and can meet many of the same requirements. This session will discuss how RHD fits into the overall biomass-based diesel landscape and how renewable diesel; / biodiesel blends can provide supply availability while exhibiting the combined emissions benefits of both fuels.

Top Maintenance Practices – Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF)

Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are emission control devices designed to clean the exhaust emitted by vehicles’ diesel engines. Understanding how a DPF works in a diesel engine’s exhaust system is the key for proper maintenance. Paying attention to the frequency of a vehicle’s regeneration cycles is the most effective way to determine whether or not there has been significant ash buildup in the DPF. Ignore regular maintenance at your own risk. In this session you will learn:

1. How a diesel particulate filter (DPF) functions

2. The DPF warning signs that indicate that the DPF is not working correctly or is in need of maintenance / regeneration.

3. The impacts of accumulated particulate matter.
