摘要：	This report details the availability of safety and technical training in alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) for emergency personnel and transportation fleet staff in California and provides recommendations to improve it. AFVs, such as hybrid, electric, natural gas and biofuel vehicles, offer low emissions and fuel cost savings, but also present safety and technical issues unique to their technologies. Federal, state and local government energy and environmental policies have lead California to be at the forefront of AFV deployment, so it is imperative that first responders and fleet technicians know how to handle fuels, fueling and emergencies without harm. Projections of AFV deployment in California show dramatic growth. For example, the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) expects the state to have more than 1.5 million plug-in vehicles in 2020 and 2.8 million in 20301. California is already home to more hybrid-electric, plug-in electric and CNG vehicles than any other state. Safety and technical training for AFV fleet staff and emergency personnel is essential as this transportation market grows in California.
