Ride & Drive is a quick and easy way to get up-to-speed on the latest tech that can be spec’ed on new commercial vehicles.
Attendees can explore 21 vehicles spanning Classes 2–8, including all-electric vans, trucks, and chassis, as well as internal combustion vehicles featuring advanced technology to improve fuel utilization and reduce greenhouse gases or particulate matter.
“Ride & Drive is a unique experience that affords any attendee the opportunity to experience the latest commercial vehicles and the new technology that powers them in their natural environment — out on the road,” says Chris Lyon, NTEA director of fleet relations. “Whether you want to get behind the wheel yourself or prefer riding shotgun to take notes and photos, manufacturer reps will be on hand to guide you and answer your questions.”
This event is especially useful for fleet managers and other industry professionals who don’t have time to arrange individual meetings to test-drive equipment from various manufacturers. NTEA does all the legwork by gathering subject matter experts and vehicles from 20 participating companies at Work Truck Week Ride & Drive.
