Green Truck Summit, the commercial vehicle technology conference that kicks off Work Truck Week, is expanding in 2026 to include sessions on leveraging data, connected vehicles, and artificial intelligence (AI). The new content comes from integrating the Commercial Vehicle Data Exchange Special Session into the Summit.

Work Truck Week 2026 runs March 10–13, 2026, at Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. More Than a Trade Show, it encompasses Green Truck Summit, The Work Truck Show, NTEA Annual Meeting, Work Truck Week Ride & Drive, educational programs, and more.

Green Truck Summit is March 10, educational sessions run March 10–12, and Work Truck Show exhibits are open March 11–13. Work Truck Week is produced by NTEA – The Work Truck Association.

Since its 2009 debut as an event focused on hybrids and alternative fuels, Green Truck Summit has evolved to cover any technology that may impact the commercial vehicle industry’s drive toward increasing vehicle sustainability, productivity, and efficiency. 

“In an era of rapid transformation, organizations across the commercial vehicle industry are continually pushing boundaries: advancing new fuel types and reducing emissions, designing and engineering safer and more-productive vehicles, pioneering innovative technologies and hardware, and leading the charge in cutting-edge software,” said Kevin Koester, NTEA managing director. “In this environment, solid data analysis becomes an important tool to effectively deploy advancing technology. Green Truck Summit helps industry professionals integrate proven solutions into their operations, explore emerging innovations, and anticipate the challenges of tomorrow in an industry that never stands still.”

Green Truck Summit Highlights

Green Truck Summit 2026 includes three one-hour general sessions: 

  • Adapting Upfitting Practices to Emerging Vehicle Technologies

  • ADAS Integration in Multi-Stage and Commercial Vehicle Platforms

  • Navigating Technology Shifts: Cross-Industry Perspectives on Adoption and Impact to Commercial Vehicles.
