Laura Lyons, right, president of ATech, speaks with Clara Richter, managing editor of LP Gas, about the bi-fuel engine performance trainer the company developed for the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC). The trainer, which was on display at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, allows technicians to get hands-on experience working on bi-fuel engines. According to NAFTC, the trainer will help technicians develop real-world system skills and knowledge. The system includes an ATech fault/simulator panel, which allows instructors to input faults into the engine.
