_____________________________________________________________________________-Project Get Ready - Project Get Ready is a non-profit initiative led by Rocky Mountain Institute, in conjunction with a wide array of partners and technical advisors. Visit their website to learn more about Project Get Ready and the steps being taken for a green mobility revolution of plug in vehicles.
-Build your own mobile Hydrogen generation and refueling station - This 'Design and Build' document was funded by the Department of Energy and developed by AVRC along with the North Carolina Solar Center at NCSU. This document gives precise technical information, guidance, resources and diagrams for learning how to build a Mobile Hydrogen Generation and Refueling station.
- Vehicle Electrification: More than Fuel Economy -Vehicle electrification may involve simply replacing inefficient belt and gear driven under-the-hood auxiliaries (pumps, heating/air conditioning, cooling fans, etc.) with efficient electric powered ones. It can also combine electric propulsion with internal combustion engines (ICEs) in various parallel, series, and plug-in hybrid configurations to increase efficiencies, or eliminate the ICE entirely by replacing it with full electric propulsion, such as in a battery or fuel cell powered vehicle. click here to read more...
- New Energy for America - America has always risen to great challenges and our dependence on oil is one of the greatest we have ever faced. It's a threat to our national security, our planet and our economy. Read the New Energy for America plan here.

Careers in the Automotive Industry
Teachers, this link is for helping you show students more about careers in the automotive industry. Your students like to ride in them, plan to drive one and hope to own one, but do they know they could also have a career designing cars? Inspire them by taking them inside Ford Motor Company to see how designers and engineers use math to steer their direction.
This link will take you to the Alternative Fuels Training and Career Placement program implemented at Nash Community College for Fall 2008 developed by The Advanced Vehicle Research Center using online NAFTC course material.
