The Green Truck Summit, a part of Work Truck Week, held March 6–9 at Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana will focus on the importance of zero-emission transportation and new intiatives in the space.

Designed for fleet managers, truck equipment distributors, upfitters and truck dealers from around the world, the annual conference provides current insights into and long-range forecasts around the latest productivity options and alternative fuel and technology implementation

“The goal of zero-emission transportation goes beyond just electric driving, and is an industry-wide goal for many, one which we’ve made great strides toward recently,” says Doyle Sumrall, NTEA managing director. “As we continue to focus on achieving that goal in the future, this year’s Green Truck Summit will address immediate, practical steps the work truck industry can take to mitigate negative environmental effects while maximizing truck performance, longevity and the bottom line via alternative fuels, pollutant reduction, advanced technology developments and increased-efficiency practices.”

Green Truck Summit kicks off March 6 at 8:30 a.m. with general sessions addressing the following key topics:
