NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA), the vehicle fleet industry’s largest membership association, is excited to announce the addition of NAFA Garage at the NAFA’s 2026 Institute & Expo (I&E), which will take place April 13-15, 2026, in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland.

The NAFA Garage is a hands-on exhibit floor experience where attendees can watch live demonstrations of EV technology, products, and services, explore technician-focused products, and engage with the latest tools and technologies. This specialized area in the I&E Exhibit Hall also showcases student-built vehicles, highlighting emerging talent and the future of fleet maintenance. The NAFA Garage is sponsored by Whelen.

“We created NAFA Garage to connect fleet professionals with the know-how and the tools they need to succeed,” said Bill Schankel, CAE, CEO of NAFA. “As fleet management undergoes rapid technological shifts, this year’s Institute & Expo is designed to move beyond theory, providing attendees with results-oriented framework for modern fleet leadership. The NAFA Garage is a perfect example of that.”
