Future of new vehicle technology at GTSE 2018

The Green Transportation Summit & Expo (GTSE), taking place April 17-19, 2018, will feature a panel of advanced vehicle experts in the Opening Plenary Future Tech: How Far and How Fast Will We Go. Moderated by Michael Coates, Editor and Publisher of Clean Fleet Report and Automotive Editor of Innovation & Tech Today Magazine, the panel will address these important issues:

• How real are battery electric and fuel cell trucks?
• How much will this new technology cost?
• How long will they last?
• Can they do the work of diesel trucks?
• Can these alternatives displace traditional diesel?
• What opportunities are there for natural gas in an electric drive future?

The second day of the summit will feature an exclusive Performance Ride and Drive, where attendees will get to experience the true capabilities of these new alternative fuel vehicles first-hand as they test drive at on a real racetrack at Pacific Raceways.

The pace of change for technology is accelerating and new technologies are coming sooner than you think. We want to prepare fleet managers for this rapidly accelerating landscape.
