Zero-emission transportation to be a Focus at Green Truck Summit 2018

“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:

• Government, Fleet and Supplier Perspectives on Future Work Truck Productivity
• Technology and Fuel Advancements: What’s Next for Fleets
• Commercial Vehicle Productivity and Efficiency: Insights and Opportunities
• Strategies for Obtaining Advanced Technology Approval and Selecting Alternative Fuels
